The battle cry of "Black Lives Matter". I fully agree. However, my perception is that the community does very little to address the black on black murder and violence that is much more pervasive than questionable policing. If they don't care enough to change from within, then why should I care enough to get involved and be outraged over an issue that pails in comparison to the real problem facing their communities.
I will say, the unreported things happening in Baltimore are amazing. Outpouring of support by the black community for the Police is amazing. I saw a photo yesterday of demonstrators lined up in front of the police forming a human wall to protect them from the hooligans. In my opinion, that is the stuff that needs to be shown and needs to be highlighted by the media. Not the Al Sharptons and Jessis Jacksons of the world.
