Martin O’Malley appologized to black racists for saying all lives matter

So not only did he allow these extreme left wing black racists a podium but he apologized for saying something that Martin Luther King Jr basically preached. I think the next time some liberal journalists ask a republican candidate his or her opinion about Trump.That candidate should tell the journalist to go ask the democrat candidates what they think about O'Malley apologizing to racists who booed him for saying all lives matter.

Phoenix (CNN)Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying "All lives matter" while discussing police violence against African-Americans with liberal demonstrators.

Here's the thing about people who misunderstand the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Through some twisted logic, they think that #BlackLivesMatter is somehow synonymous with #OtherPeoplesDon't.

When you boo people for saying all lives matter it sure does look that way.

Well, you can't blame them when the whole movement does suggest black lives matter more than white or other ethnic minorities. I mean when you have a movement called Blacklives matter what do you think people will think about the movement itself?

I cannot buy into the "black lives matter" movement as we are seeing it play out.

While it is in dispute what the actual numbers are, we know that statistically blacks tend to kill blacks more than whites kill blacks. Some say it is as high as 90% of the time, I do not agree but do suspect from what we know the numbers are out of proportion. I tend to consider the fact that it is near impossible to determine with accuracy these rates anyway. FBI statistics are limited, and self-reported. Moreover, there is no real assurance we have accurate reporting from every police department on their activities resulting in officer shootings. But, from what we can report from the FBI and CDC is for black males between the ages of 15-34, the overwhelming likely cause of death in that age bracket is murder.

All that said, we see "black lives matter" in display far more when someone white kills someone black than when someone black kills someone black. That is a huge problem.

It suggests that black lives matter only when taken at the hands of someone white regardless of the conditions (officer related or otherwise.) We know the dangers of stereotyping this issue but we cannot ignore that we do not have protests related directly related to black on black crime, this sort of thing is reserved for white on black crime.

Until "black lives matter" as a movement goes after everyone that kills blacks (including other blacks) this movement is political over sociological. It is designed outrage for the purpose of division, over some promise or hope for a better future.

It should be all lives matter, and we should be outraged no matter the race of the victim or the murderer. Unfortunately it does not get to be that way, but until it does then social cohesion or any sense of peace is impossible.

The movement doesn't suggest that though. That's a fabrication from those that wish to belittle the movement.

It does suggest that by the slogan and by booing people that suggest all lives do matter not just black Americans.

:lol: This is just comical. Does a fundraiser for disabled vets indicate that disabled and non military individuals are not worthy of attention? Or is it simply drawing attention to a cause that its supporters feel is neglected. At this point I hope those that actually run with this narrative are playing dumb for their own sake.

You forget I pointed out that booing someone with the slogan after they just stated all lives do matter make it seems that way. It's not being racist to point that out to you or me playing dumb it's just facts.

The phrase "All Lives Matter" is not in and of itself a problem. However, because it has been primarily used by people trying to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement, it has become a problem. A presidential candidate should know this.

So we have too walk around on egg shells to please the movement in question? We can't say I beleive that all lives matter and that we need to approve the aspects of all ethnic groups because that is how I beleive we will become a better nation.

Apples and oranges.

For one thing, disabled vets aren't behind riots that have scarred cities.

Bringing up all lives matter does not belittle the movement.What belittles the movement is using justifiable homicides like Michael Brown for the black lives matter movement or the fact the huge vast majority of black people that murdered are killed by other black people.
