Columnist John McWhorter believes that #BlackLivesMatter isn’t interested in the truth and needs to acknowledge some of those truths if they want to actually win over more of the public.
McWhorter wrote a column to that effect for The Daily Beast this week, and explained to CNN’s Don Lemon tonight that the fixation of #BlackLivesMatter on white people––especially white cops––gunning down black people ignores the problem of black-on-black violence.
He said that the movement believes “we have to focus on what white people are doing wrong” instead of asking any challenging questions beyond that.
McWhorter believes there’s an aggrieved mentality plaguing the movement where to be black means “living with the white person’s foot on your neck” or the best way to be black is to “portray yourself as a sufferer.”

Because they want all their white benefactors to see -
who said that police brutality was the most significant issue for black people?
-
They both look like Tom DuBois
-
"What about climate change?"
"What about childhood obesity?"
"What about texting while driving?"
that's how stupid these ? look when they're complaining about black people having the audacity to speak out against police murdering us with no repercussions. -

Except McWhorter is a conservative. -

The Panthers were talking about Police accountability in the 60s.

as was everyone else...
there is a narrative being formed that police reform is purely a black issue... that may be a strategic mistake.
(not that you're saying that...) -
Ah the "black on black violence" distraction method, eh? well according to the FBI...

Rates are about the same... and if I'm reading this right, whites have more to fear from Hispanics than they do blacks.
so, that black guy is more likely to be killed by another black guy? Well guess ? what, the white guy is in much much more danger of being killed by a white guy. I'm sure the arab guy is much more likely of being killed by the arab guy, as well. Do you have to be a rocket scientist to see how this works? The only thing worst than a smart dumb ? is a bought ? ; you can at least ignore the smart dumb ? .
But if your 15, 16, 17 year old gets kidnapped and ? , guess who most likely did it?
Let me know when you wanna talk about it, tho
smh @ me only making it 45 seconds into the vid before encountering overwhelming fuckery... Like, what did I really expect to see here. -

How can you claim to be a black conservative, but not know that he's also a black conservative?

That's because politics is a spectrum it's a gradient left,right,center. It's not as simple as people want it to be -

It is simple for black people.
Don't vote for openly racist ass republicans that are on foxnews supporting George Zimmerman, saying Obama is not American, and are always voting against any intiative that helps black people.
It is very simple..... -

sounda familiar. -
These toms dont give af about black on black crime. That term is nothing but a buzzword to appease white supremacy and deflect accountability. Black lives matter is a convieient target for the media. The media will not promote groups that are actually fighting against crime in our communities.

Logical assumption since he teaches at Columbia which is a very white liberal school -

You rather vote for patronizing paternalistic underhandly racist liberals. I personally don't give a rat's ass about political party it's all about which governing ideology can create success were it really counts. Not every republican governs with conservative ideology. -
Liberal/conservative means nothing...

This ? needs to be smacked
