Quotes:

If black lives truly mattered to the know-nothings who comprise this

movement, they would have somethinganythingto say about the fact
that approximately 5,500 of the 6,095 black victims of homicide in 2014
were killed not by white devils, not by satanic ghouls in blue uniforms, but by
other blacks.

other black people are killing other black people, it is still a problem that must be addressed.
