I recently saw a young African American female with a t-shirt on that said: Black lives matter. I was intrigued because I wanted to know what prompted the making of such shirts. The reason was because of the rash of police killings of African Americans around the USA a movement was started in 2013. But do the people who wear the shirts and cry on camera really believe black lives matter?
It’s time to be honest and look at the situation African Americans have put themselves in. There is no African American economic base in a capitalist country. There is no sense of self-pride or love exhibited by African Americans of all age groups. African Americans kill each other in greater numbers than the police or even the Klu Klux Klan can ever achieve. African Americans glorify in death.
First off, who are you trying to convince by wearing a shirt that says black lives matter? Are you trying to convince other race groups or yourself? Before you can tell anyone about anything you have to convince yourself. African Americans don’t believe their own lives matter. If you look at the actions that go on daily you will see the proof of this blatantly.
Look at the number of black mega corporations in America. That small number tells a big story. In a country where money is king, queen and prince no economic power means you are nothing. Black people sacrificed their economic power when they integrated. Integration was the death of black economic power in all forms except consumer. Sadly African Americans don’t exhibit common sense to use the consumer power they have. Whatever the European designers put out they buy.
The love and respect of self is mandatory if you want to make others believe you have worth. African Americans have been on treadmill to conformity that seems to be finally paying off. The insane issues that plagued other factions in America are now yours. Teen suicide, suicide period, was unheard of in the African American community just a few decades ago. 
If you watch African Americans race around running their mouths on cell phones you only see imitation white people. Sadly the level of white people African Americans pattern after is the poor section, trailer park.
Black lives matter. Those shirts need to be worn in the neighborhoods the African American lives in. Guess what faction of people in America kill more African Americans? It’s time to be honest with ourselves black people. 
The menace that plagues inner cities is predominately African American. No one is saying a Caucasian or Latino cop doesn’t get trigger-happy. The majority of fingers on the triggers ending lives in the inner city are black fingers. So who really needs to read those shirts?
It’s ironic that African Americans protested the black exploitation movies of the 1970’s. Those movies glorified pimps and hustlers but the black man always won. If the few movies that came out in the 70’s corrupted what then is the effect of the thousands of gangster rap songs? The rap industry has transformed the African American community into a clown tent. Don’t believe me just go look outside. You will see dudes with big clothes on waddling in oversized shoes. Or watch a group of females walk past with multi-colored hair. Anyone remember Bozo and Cookie?
African Americans until you take your own lives seriously then no one else will. You can cry and ask is my son or daughter next or whatever. If you don’t want your child next don’t let them be a fool. African Americans before you try to convince someone else your lives matter convince yourselves.
