Question for BLM
Yes, certainly, black lives matter. So do all lives. What amazes me, however, is that, although, according to the news media, on average (if there is such a thing as averages when we are dealing with the loss of lives), a black man is killed in the city of Chicago by other blacks every 14 hours. Nothing is heard from the so-called Black Lives Matter organization. I must ask the very simple question — why?
I have signed this letter. If there are any “blogs,” either favorably or unfavorably, I would expect them to have the guts to sign their name or keep their response to themselves. It is worth nothing without a signature which says, “I believe in what I am saying.”
