In an interview on NBC, filmaker Spike Lee claimed that Americans don’t care about the massive amounts of gun violence because its “not Sandy Hook.”
While Spike Lee attempts to spin Americans’ lack of interest in Chicago by insinuating that no one cares because those who are dying aren’t innocent, young, white, schoolchildren, he’s totally ignoring those who are ignoring the violence in Chicago.
While most of America is pointing toward Chicago as proof that gun-free zones don’t work, those who are outright ignoring the city is none other than Black Lives Matter.
The reason for this is obvious. When it comes to Black Lives Matter, black lives only matter when they are killed by white Americans. Because such a huge percentage of Chicago’s murders are black on black crime, Black Lives Matter doesn’t seem to care.

Nope we in Texas could care less. Guess who is from Chicago? Yep you guessed it Obama.
Your a fool spike lee!!!
Of course not. It’s blacks shooting blacks. No news there because of BLM.
Blacks don’t care about Black Lives Matters they kill everyone any race yes I care about Gun Violence in Chicago and every where else .
Shouldn’t be any violence. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country?
Spike grow up where there is violence we care.Instaed of throwing more gas on the fire look for ways to help Chicago get over the fact that it is violent so is LA,NY,and many other cities but we don’t go saying that Government don’t care you are a wealthy well known person quit saying stupid things like that have a happy 2016 and help not destroy ..
I care about the numbers, but not the thugs dying.
