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:
We care, but you guys won’t stop killing each other so we gave up caring anymore. You blame the white’s for everything so when you start caring we might.
The killing is terrible, but it is blacks killing blacks. They need to be outraged and finding ways to help their communities. Not expecting others to do it.
And he is one of those Americans.
When they start having respect for themselves I will start to care till then stay in Chicago .
When the people of Chicago vote in conservatives who will actually do something about the problems, I will start to care. Otherwise, you made your bed, now sleep in it.
This is the most asinine comment. It’s not in our control to do anything about it. Stop pulling the race card and realize no one can help people who won’t help themselves. That is the real issue not Race. Take your argument to the politicians and stop blaming everyone else. It’s easier to blame other people but in reality nothing will change untill people take accountability for their actions. And that means if people make a choice to be a thug and break laws then that is on THEM.
NO ONE ELSE.
I am sick and tired of this..make better choices!
When the Chicago,ans care about Chicago then ask everyone else to care. Tell this to the media who NEVER report to anyone out side of Chicago . To tell the truth thugs killing thugs is nothing that needs fixing..
Apparently the Pres doesn’t care either.
oh, put a sock in it!!!
Democrats run the city, they made their bed now lie in it ! Or under dodging bullets.
