Not all "Black Lives Matter"

His name is Jacai Colson, more about him later. 

No matter the political motives, orchestrated protests, and the money bankrolling
them, "Black Lives Matter" have it exactly right, most disadvantaged Blacks have
not benefited as other Americans not saddled with the burdens they carry have.

This being said, we need to question "why" this has occurred. Is it by design? 
Or, has it been the failure of programs implemented on a promise still unfulfilled.

To those who thrive on anarchy its easy to believe its about "race", but this does
not make any sense.

Today the political might in Black communities is stronger than ever, advocacy 
groups are so influential their constituency have access to benefits from every
program our govt. offers.

Consider the hundreds of thousands of govt. jobs, from the presidency to street
sweepers that employee Blacks, which exceed double the 15% Black population 
of the country. Their is no evidence Blacks are deliberately locked out of their own
"pursuit of happiness"!

But, we can't ignore the reality in which too many Black Americans live, a "reality"
that should not exist today, not after trillions has been spent of education, "wars"
on poverty and drugs, and govt. aid.

This reality does exist and "Black Lives Matter" is capitalizing on it, yet its 
efforts have done little to benefit disenfranchised Blacks who have not seen
their lives improve no matter how many protests occur throughout the country.

"Black Lives Matter" has a deliberate intent, using anger and frustration to go 
after our justice system. It wants the public to believe its racist, deliberately 
putting Blacks in prison. "Why" would a system target any group of people
without cause? Again, it does not make sense!

This targeting has been successful, so much so that politicians quiver, afraid 
to defend the very people who defend our communities, law enforcement!

The "Black Lives Matter" movement may be pleased with the consequences, 
perhaps not unintended, as statistics bare out, dozens of police murdered in
the line of duty.

"Black Lives Matter" is approaching its third birthday without measurable
accomplishments.

How many Blacks are not out of poverty, how much has education improved
in Chicago, Baltimore and countless other poverty entrenched cities, how
many Blacks are now gainfully employed?

No one can point to any statistic, including crime, which shows "Black Lives 
Matter" has succeeded in a way that has helped the Black communities.

Back to Jacai Colson.  This week officer Colson gave his life defending some
of the people who I am sure support the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

Office Colson was a 28-year-old, four-year veteran of the Prince George's County
Maryland Police Dept. as a narcotics officer, working to end the scourge of drugs
which has been a cancer wherever it is found.   Story at  http://bit.ly/1RhNH9v

I don't expect to see members of "Black Lives Matter" attend Officer Colson's
funeral, or even send condolences. His life does not matter, which is a sad 
testament to the state of American political discourse.
