    To Blacks themselves?

    Atlanta mayor calls for citizens to stop 'shooting each other' after murder of 8-year-old near BLM protest site

    In an impassioned press conference Sunday night, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued a full-throated call for citizens to stop "shooting each other up on our streets," after an 8-year-old girl was shot and killed on the Fourth of July near a Wendy's that has become a flashpoint of anti-police Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in the city.

    Bottoms, a Democrat who is considered a potential running mate for Joe Biden, made the remarks as she fought through tears -- and the nation endured a new bout of urban carnage. Sixty-three people were injured and 17 killed in Chicago, including two children, over the weekend; and in New York City, 44 were hurt and at least six killed.

    “Enough is enough," Bottoms said. "Enough is enough. We have talked about this movement that's happening across America and this moment in time when we have the ears and the interests of people across this country and across this globe who are saying they want to see change. But the difference in this moment in time with the civil rights movement -- in the civil rights movement, there was a defined, common enemy. We're fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets."

    She continued: "You shot and killed a baby. And there wasn’t just one shooter; there were at least two shooters. An 8-year-old baby. If you want people to take us seriously, and you don't want us to lose this movement, then we can't lose each other."

    "It has to stop," Bottoms added, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. "You can't blame this on police officers. It's about people who shot a baby in a car. We're doing each other more harm than any officer on this force."

      If black lives really mattered then blacks would be outraged over the fact that a black person is far more likely to be killed by another black person than by a white police officer.

        What an idiotic thread. Black Lives Matter is about racial injustice and police violence.

        Anyone who fails to recognize this by now is being intentionally hateful.

          I think blacks themselves think black lives matter. Not the political movement, the reality. The sane ones think all lives matter.

          BLM is just another leftist group. They support having the village raise their babies, rather than an actual family, with a father for instance. That simply will not lead to black on black murder going down. Just one insanity of the BLM, there are many more as I'm sure you know.

            Yet the killing of black men by police is a small small fraction of the deaths. The vast majority is black on black. It is obvious that many blacks don't think black lives matter - they are killing each other by the truck load.

            Anyone who fails to recognize this by now is being intentionally hateful.
            I have no idea what you mean by police violence. Twice as many whites are killed by police a year as blacks.

              Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population.

              The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.

              Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.

              [...]

              Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.

              Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.

                A heart breaking story:

                Atlanta Georgia has erupted into a lawless society as a willfully complicit Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, attempts to avoid her role in the murder of an 8-year-old child as violent Black Lives Matter protestors run amok in the city.

                On Saturday night about 9:30, Charmaine Turner and her daughter were driving with a friend when they attempted to turn into a store near a group of armed Black Lives Matter protestors. Two of the BLM activists opened fire on their vehicle for not complying with their unlawful roadblock, and 8-year-old Secoriea Turner was shot. She died in her mothers arms as they attempted to escape the area and get to a hospital.

                Does her life not matter?

                  What an idiotic post.

                  I guess blacks shooting blacks doesn't matter then? That's just fine?

                    You know what would help stem the tide of violence like this? More police.

                      Like they did in Camden NJ...

                        Maybe they're deader if killed by a white police officer?
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                          When you call something idiotic, it appears to have value.

                          Black Lives Matter is about racial injustice and police violence.
                          No, it's a bunch of Marxists who have hijacked the civil rights movement for their own purposes.

                          Anyone who fails to recognize this by now is being intentionally hateful.
                          Says a guy who pretty much spews forth hate 24/7/365.

                              This just shows the disconnect from reality you and EvoUK are on the subject. Btw, Keisha Lance Bottoms, who also called out the absurd hypocrisy, is black and she's one of Biden's VP candidates.
