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:
Paula You could not be more wrong. Just follow the money. Billions upon Billions upon Billions upon Billions are made off illegal crime and criminals. If you actually enforced the laws on the books America’s economy would crash and burn. Thugs in jail means less crime and LESS money. The added bonus is Black men are killing Black men in record numbers. If they were in jail without guns there would not have been 500 Blackmne shot dead by a Blackman in Chicago in 2013. Just follow the money.
We don’t care because they have created this hell hole bed themselves! Let them sleep in it!
Gang banger are there problem plain and simple!!
Spike Lee is so clueless ! If Americans don’t care about the violence , why does Chicago have Gun Control ! Why is it that these shootings are involving stolen or illegal weapons ? How many of them had legal permits ? I will tell you ,NONE ! A felon cannot carry any gun , and color has no bearing on the law ! Spike Lee is another Racist inciting violence ! A black girl was shot because of a drive by shooter that just shot up the neighborhood , not caring where the bulles went, The shooter was black and it was his own neighborhood ! Trying to blame eveyone for their ignorance and stupidity is not working !
contact “Black Lives Matter” see what they have to say
73% of all violent crime is being committed by 3% of our population. Who are they? Black men 15 – 35!
nope
Start with you president and the Chicago politicians!
Before anyone can care about anyone……….you have to care about yourself first. Without caring for oneself, it really makes no difference what anyone around you thinks or does.
That’s the kind of leadership that keeps Chicago violent. Blame anyone but the people pulling the trigger.
