Black Lives Matter? | The Real John McClane Black Lives Matter? – The Real John McClane

This subject will be discussed further in my upcoming book, “The 21st Century Holocaust…”

In this installment, we begin to speak about the largely ignored HOLOCAUST – the holocaust of black-on-black victimization that too many black folk are assuming the ‘Ostrich position’ about – in regards to recognizing and admitting to what we are doing to ourselves…

Over this past Fourth of July weekend, a WAR took place in the inner city of Chicago, although the press did not report it as such. In fact, this war has been in effect for years. Innocent residents of the ghettoes across this nation have been subject to this form of domestic terrorism for DECADES. In this latest bloody series of skirmishes, TEN people lost their lives, and over FIFTY were wounded due to gun violence in the ‘hood’, including Beirut-like numbers of 3 deaths and 27 wounded in just one 8 hour period alone. Oh, did I mention that this violence was NOT due to any white copycats of Dylann Roof riding shotgun through the South Side of Chitown? The vast majority of these incidents could be described as your typical garden variety of ‘hood’ violence. I guess to many folks numbed by the repeated incidents of mayhem and murder in the hood, this Independence Day weekend in the Second City was just a concentrated, intensified version of ‘same old syndrome, just a different day’…

One of the ‘highlights’ of this senseless violence was the death of a SEVEN YEAR OLD, Amari Brown, who caught a bullet in his chest that was intended for his father, a reputed gang leader of the mean streets of the Windy City…

One of the few Black media personalities that I heard dealing with this issue with any sense of self-culpability and pleading for a needed awakening was Joe Madison. I’m not saying that he was the only one, but all too often black media folk that would dare speak truthfully about this genocidal issue are vilified in their own community…

I reckon Joe, ‘The Black Eagle’, got tired of the mayhem himself, as I can recall his disdain for talking about black-on-black crime on a previous broadcast…

When you go to certain African-American oriented websites, you will find mention of law enforcement killings of Blacks, including one site that boldly proclaims that an African-American is killed by law enforcement once every 28 hours in our country. I would agree that this is a grievous number, but very little mention, if any is made about US KILLING US…Again, as if talking about this self-inflicted genocide is somehow TABOO.

In 2013, according to FBI statistics, there was a total of 2,491 murders of blacks in the United States. 2,245 of which were committed by other African-Americans. NOTE- NINETY PERCENT of black murders were committed by OTHER BLACKS. When you divide that 2,245 number by the number of days in an average year- 365, you arrive at an atrocious average of over SIX black people being killed each and every day by other BLACKS- where is the hue and cry about that?

Another way of stating the same sad stat is that once every FOUR hours a black person is killing ANOTHER black person. So, in the time that ONE of our lives are lost due to overzealous law enforcement personnel, WE have obliterated SEVEN black lives off of the face of this earth (SEE CHART BELOW).

My point is this- until we get to the point where our LIVES MATTER TO US, you cannot honestly expect others to cherish our lives MORE than we do- that flies in the face of human nature and the moral laws of the universe.
