Here’s Why It Hurts When People Say, “All Lives Matter”
(July 19, 2016)
If All Lives Matter, why is the black community continually asked to justify its anger and grief? If All Lives Matter, why does the court system continue to put the victims of racial discrimination and police brutality on trial, rather than punishing their assailants? If All Lives Matter, why do our fellow Americans continually challenge African-Americans to justify our pain instead of empathizing with it?
Do all lives matter? Of course! And you will be hard pressed to find any African-American who would say otherwise. But we will continue to say Black Lives Matter until African-American lives are given the same value as the lives of people from other countries, our police officers, your property, a lion named Cecil, and a gorilla named Harambe.

CNN commentator says black community should be more worried about ‘the white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter’ than white racists
(01.06.2020)
“It’s not the racist white person who is in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about,” Mr Jones said.
“It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, ‘Oh I don’t see race, race is no big deal to me, I see all people the same, I give to charities.’
“But the minute she sees a black man who she does not respect, or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponised race like she had been trained by the Aryan Nation.”
Artikel 3: Die Zombie-Linke versucht das Grundgesetz anzunagen
Die soziale Bewegung gegen Rassismus und Polizeigewalt in den Vereinigten Staaten dafür nutzen zu wollen, in Deutschland das Verfassungsrecht aufzuheben wegen seiner Rasse weder benachteiligt, noch bevorzugt zu werden, ist pervers.
Diese Perversion reiht sich ein in das seit Jahrzehnten laufende Programm der etablierten Staatsparteien das Grundgesetz endlich irgendwie loszuwerden und die Berliner Republik zugunsten der vorprogrammierten zweiten Vereinigten Staaten abzuwürgen, nämlich denen über Europa, was die „S.P.D.“ schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg propagierte und Jahrhunderte alten Plänen entspricht.
Nachdem während des kleinen Corona-Staatsstreichs schon der von Parlamentspräsident Schäuble angeführte Versuch scheiterte, die Verfassung zugunsten eines „Notparlaments“ zu ändern und sich auch der angetäuschte Militäreinsatz im Inland als Bluff erwies, erscheint dies nun als Versuch der „politischen Klasse“ wenigstens irgendeinen Machtbeweis folgen zu lassen.
