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:
I think it’s because gun violence in Chicago has been around since prohibition and people think of it as an afterthought.
Well yeah
Yeah let’s focus on his perceived racial bias (that he finds in everything) instead of the fact that innocent people are being killed by the dozen up there. Typical Spike Lee, avoid the real issue and blame white people. If we did care, and I’m not saying we don’t, and we wanted to help or offer assistance, they wouldn’t want it.
I care cause ALL lives matter. ..
Yea it’s sad
spike Lee who? how has he fixed the black on black gang wars?
When blacks stop killing each other and acting civil than we should care but as long they don’t care about themselves than why should anyone else…
Hey Spike, bet you don’t give your buddy Obama grief over this stuff…
