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.
Check out Spike Lee’s interview itself on the next page:
Spike most of the violence in Chicago is the drugs and gang bangers fighting over different territories,you are right we don’t care about that.But,when there is a bad shooting I think everyone cares.
Funny, the crumbling cities have some things in comm: run by democrats and high percentage of minorities running everything!
Not a bit.
Spike,, you are so wrong, many whites care, it’s the Obama Administration who has not done anything about black on black violence….
0 gun stores in Chicago!
Don’t care ? That is so lame !!!!
Americans can’t keep up with all of the corruption !!! Chicago voted for their politicians, no one else did. There has Never been a Architectural Firm that has “designed a ghetto” either !! What is there to work with ? You have a “president” who claims to be “black” when he is Not !! The community must resolve this issue, not the American people.
who caresA?
America can’t fix that problem Mr. Lee, Chicago and the black community have to fix that problem. It’s a cultural issue. Or perhaps you think the government should just throw more millions at the problem. A problem that only those people can fix, by parenting the children to grow up to be decent.
Hate it when someone makes a “blanket” statement…Americans? we are all Americans…get it right!
Wrong. Democrats don’t care because of race. Conservatives continuously try to bring Chicago’s violence to light, but liberals constantly ignore it.
