Black Lives Matter’s disconnect with America’s struggling neighborhoods

"On the other hand, why would scores of Americans like my neighbor give their money to Black Lives Matter and not to folks like Pastor Corey Brooks or to the grassroots leaders in Ferguson, or even to similar people in their own neighborhoods? Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that Black Lives Matter functions primarily as an ideological movement untethered to the realities on the ground."

Blm is a domestic terrorist organization that has been given a pass by the government and the Chicago Police Department because of color. While the government headed by a senile president and a pro blm vp, 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are considered the real domestic terrorists. This is going to cause a violent revolution if the democrats continue this fantasy.

Black Lives Matter is about righting the oppression experienced by Michele Obama, Megan Markle, LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick.

It is about driving while black, and lack of head coaches in pro sports. Also, not enough Oscar nominees. Making sure that cartoons are politically correct.

The list of grievances goes on and on. But criminality in the inner city, black children murdered, lack of family structure- none of those are of any concern to the pompous elites who support BLM. It is all about the elites, you see.

Michelle Obama is the queen of fake victimhood. Total loser daughter of a Daley precinct captain. The epitome of hypocrisy. Megan Markle, another fake no talent loser playing the race card to remain relevant. I support the monarchy as this clown Markle tried to take down a monarchy with her amateur blm terrorist intimidation tactics. She now becomes totally irrelevant.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades
