The cry of “black lives matter” was
heard soon after the video of George Floyd’s death went viral, and most Americans
were emotionally moved by the unnecessary death. We could understand to some
degree why people were protesting police brutality. Most of us did a
self-examination to determine the condition of our heart. We were united
against a rogue cop.
The protests turned into riots, and
mobs turned into looters, arsonists, and murderers. I believe that the honest
protests were overtaken by paid rioters because the “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) movement
suddenly forgot the death of George Floyd and turned to destroying the
nation. It seemed to be that the
movement was just waiting for an excuse to riot and took advantage of the
situation.
If the Black Lives Matter movement sincerely
cared about black lives, its leaders would focus on something more than
destroying statues, monuments, and government buildings. I believe that the
first focus should be abortion. In searching for the number of black babies
killed in abortions, I found an estimate of 900 per day. This article, dated February 28, 2020, had the following information about total numbers.
Abortion in America has contributed to the
greatest decline in black population since the first black slaves arrived in
the Americas in the 1600s. According to U.S census data, there were 18,871,831
black American citizens in 1960. Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in
1973, abortion has killed an estimated 20 million black babies – more than the
entire black population of 1960.
We know that Planned Parenthood makes it
as easy as possible for black women to abort because many, if not most, of
their abortion clinics are in black communities. If BLM really cared about
black lives, they would be destroying the abortion clinics.
BLM were instantly on the spot to “protest”
the death of a black man – George Floyd – by a white cop. However, they do not
protest the black on black crime happening every single day in Chicago and
other cities.
Four-year-old LeGend Taliferro was asleep
at a Kansas City, Missouri, apartment when he was fatally shot at 2:30 a.m. on
June 29. People in the apartment awoke when they heard gunshots outside the apartment
and realized the boy was shot. A family member took him to a hospital where he
was declared dead. Police are searching for those responsible for his death,
and President Donald Trump is acting to prevent future deaths. He is sending
federal agents into U.S. cities to quell the violence as part of “Operation Legend” – named after the boy. The officers
are in Portland, Oregon, and will soon be in Chicago. Why is BLM not protesting
the death of little LeGend Taliferro if they care so much about black lives?
