IF BLACK LIVES MATTERED WHY TO BLACKS SPEND THE WEEKENDS IN CHICAGO SHOOTING EACH OTHER?
LET US CUT THE CRAP ON BLACK RACISM, MURDER AND LOOTING!
OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THESE STATS ARE BLACKS!
As Violent Crime SURGES across America, some politicians and some in the media are gaslighting the public into thinking the Police are the Problem…

Atlanta ⬆️ 58%

Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
WATCH: ‘We Want to Change Laws’: National Basketball Social Justice Coalition Promises an ‘Evolution’ in Advocacy
The National Basketball Association (NBA) flexed its social justice muscles this week when the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition released a new video advertising the various causes that the organization will push.
The video marks the coalition’s first step onto the media scene after the NBA announced the social justice-minded group last year.
“Our goal is really simple. We want to take moments of protest, moments of people power like we saw last year and turn them into public policy.” Executive Director of the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition James Cadogan said in the video. “We want to change laws.”
Later in the video, Cadogan promised that coalition will be the “next step and the next evolution in the unbroken chain of advocacy undertaken by players.”

Upon its announcement in 2020, the coalition said that it will focus on various left-wing causes under the guise of vague phrases like “voting access and criminal justice system reform.”
“Through its mission to leverage the game’s influence to raise awareness, educate and advocate for meaningful reform, the Coalition will focus on action and change in several areas, including voting access and criminal justice system reform at the national, state and local level,” began the announcement.
The announcement later added that the coalition will be leading the effort to continue the league’s promotion of “racial inequality, advocate for meaningful change, and promote greater civic engagement.”
Leading the coalition are five team governors, five players, and two coaches. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who famously issued a groveling apology to communist China when one of his coaches voiced support for the Hong Kong protesters, also serves on the board.
The NBA jumped into the social justice scene with both feet in 2020 when it allowed players to openly push social justice messages on their jerseys during the game in the wake of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. During that same year, the NBA hosted events on the campus in Orlando where “players, coaches and staff participated in social justice programming” that featured the likes of former first lady Michelle Obama and former basketball player and Sen. Bill Bradley (D-NJ).
BLM IS SUBSTANIALLY THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND BLACK LOOTING ACROSS AMERICA!

Black Lives Matter Demands Holiday Boycott of ‘White Companies’
The Black Lives Matter movement is urging supporters to wage a month-long boycott of what the far-left organization describes as “white companies” as the holiday season approaches.
“White-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life,” the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation posted to Instagram. “Skip the Black Friday sales and buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses.”
To support its cause, the Black Lives Matter group called on supporters to visit BlackXmas.org, where it can learn how to “move your money out of white-corporate banks that finance our oppression and open accounts with Black-owned banks.”
“As BLMLA organizer, Jan Williams, reminds us, ‘Capitalism doesn’t love Black people,’” the group said in a statement last week announcing the boycott. “In fact, white-supremacist-capitalism invented policing, initially as chattel-slavery-era ‘paddy rollers,’ in order to protect its interests and put targets on the backs of Black people.”
Unsurprisingly, this claim is revisionist history. While slave patrols did exist in the south, many of the earliest police forces had nothing to do with slavery. The very first constable present in colonial records was Joshua Pratt, who served in the 1630s in Plymouth Colony. Per TIME Magazine: “The first publicly funded, organized police force with officers on duty full-time was created in Boston in 1838.”
“#BlackXmas challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and step fully into our own collective power, to build new traditions, and run an offense as well as a defense,” the statement added. “Let’s harness our economic power to disrupt white-supremacist-capitalism and build Black community.”
The boycott comes after Black Lives Matter criticized the celebration of Thanksgiving, calling America “stolen land.”
“You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land,” the organization wrote in a social media post, which included the following graphic:
“Colonization never ended, it just became normalized,” the graphic read.
Some Twitter users blasted the anti-Thanksgiving post, seemingly alluding to BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors reportedly building a wall around her $1.4 million house after resigning from the group amid criticism of her lavish lifestyle.
“Then give up your houses card money jobs and everything else you own because that’s all on stolen land too,” one user commented.
“Every square inch of land occupied on this planet was stolen/conquered. You’re normalizing generational victimization and it’s gross,” another user replied.
PHOTOS: San Francisco’s Union Square Boards Up for Christmas After Mass Looting
San Francisco’s Union Square, the high-end shopping district at the center of the city, is boarding up for the Christmas shopping season after a string of “mass looting” events that began on the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Normally, Union Square is festive and bright in December. Its giant Christmas tree and menorah attract visitors from across the region, as does its outdoor ice skating rink. Situated alongside the city’s famous cable car, it is an oasis of prosperity in a gritty downtown.
However, this year is different, as the San Francisco Chronicle reports:
As San Francisco approached the critical December shopping month, instead of holiday lights and Santa Claus decorations, dozens of downtown retailers greeted shoppers with plywood-encased storefronts and armed guards in the wake of mass retail thefts in Union Square two weeks ago.
Around a half-dozen stores in the Union Square area were boarded up on Tuesday, including the Louis Vuitton store and others that sustained damage during the robberies. Other luxury stores such as Gucci, which Mayor London Breed said had an existing security gate system and wasn’t damaged in previous robberies, had a guard outside as well.
It’s a stark contrast from previous years when December in Union Square was marked by windows full of holiday ornamentation and the seasonal enticement of products that could fit under Christmas trees.
Shoppers continue to come to the Union Square district, thanks to a large police presence. As Breitbart News reported last month, police restricted vehicular access to the square in the wake of the looting.
Some retailers have called on Mayor London Breed to resign after championing proposals to reduce funding to the police. District Attorney Chesa Boudin faces a recall election, driven by residents who are frustrated by his refusal to prosecute petty and “quality of life” crimes in the city.
Many retailers boarded up their businesses last year during the Black Lives Matter riots, and again in anticipation of riots if President Donald Trump was re-elected last November. San Francisco has been forced to do so again because of looting unrelated to any particular political event. It is unclear how long the boards will remain up on Union Square shops.
