CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 4, 2020
REMEMBER “BLACK LIVES MATTER?” THE ORGANIZATION SURFACED AFTER THE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD BY A MINEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICER. THE GROUP SPARKED DEMONSTRATIONS, LOOTING AND RIOTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
MOST OF THE MONEY HAS STAYED AT THE TOP OF THE ORGANIZTION, WHICH HAS A BOARD COMPRISED OF ONLY ONE MEMBER AND NO ACCOUNTABILITY. A STATEMENT BY BLM CHAPTERS ACCUSES LEADERS OF THE GLOBAL NETWORK OF SHORTCHANGING THEM ON DONATIONS, MOST OF WHICH HAVE COME FROM FAR-LEFT GROUPS AND GUILTY-WHITES WHO BELIEVE THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH SLAVERY. I KNOW PEOPLE IN THE LAST CATEGORY. THEY CAN’T SEE THIS OUTFIT DOES NOTHING FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
THE WAY TO DEMONSTRATE BLACK LIVES TRULY MATTER IS THE FOLLOWING: STOP ABORTING BLACK BABIES AT RATES HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER RACIAL GROUP; GIVE CHILDREN IN FAILING SCHOOLS A CHOICE TO ATTEND BETTER SCHOOLS; STOP TEACHING SLAVERY AND SYSTEMIC RACISM AS THINGS THAT DEFINE AMERICA AND START TEACHING OPPORTUNITY, USING THOSE WHO HAVE OVERCOME OBSTACLES AS EXAMPLES. IT WOULDN’T SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM, BUT IT WOULD SOLVE SOME. I’M CAL THOMAS.
