"The deadly shootings that Black Lives Matter ignores"
Nobody is ignoring those killings....

“WHAT ABOUT CHICAGO?” THESE ORGANIZATIONS ADDRESS GUN VIOLENCE EVERY DAY

Bringing up violence in urban cities is one way to deflect from systemic racism. It remains a favorite tactic among some White people. It implies that if Black people are killing each other, then the more than 40 million Black Americans as a whole have no right to complain about white supremacist hate or violence.

The thinking goes, “If we don’t care about each other, why should the larger community care about our plight?”

Not only does this frame of questioning ignore the ways in which systemic racism has created pockets of poverty, a breeding ground for violence in any community. It also ignores the fact that groups and individuals have been pushing back against gun violence in Chicago for years.

"Accused Wisconsin parade attacker Darrell Brooks once pleaded with a Nevada judge that he was 'not some monster'”

He might try that again. Do you think the judge would say, "I beg to differ with you"?
