There is no end in sight because there is a nearly endless number of black men residing this nation&#8217;s black communities who have similar victimization fantasies as Micah Xavier Johnson did, the Dallas cop-killer, or Gavin Eugene Long, a black man who traveled all the way from Kansas City, Missouri, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, just to kill as many cops as he could. Like ISIS has inspiring lone-wolf mass killers worldwide, has the Black Lives matter Movement similarly inspired the horrific acts of these black cop-killers? It has also been less than helpful that the nation&#8217;s president has identified with leftist black street activists and lectured about the rage felt among blacks regarding police in America being justified. Obama has conveniently ignored the fact that both of the recent cop-killers harbored vicious anti-white, ant-police beliefs that has become a demented component of black urban activist culture. This festering culture of dysfunction has been primarily informed by the virulent hateful ideology of the so-called &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; protesters.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8130 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/JoeHicksBlackLivesMatterKellyFile071116C-1.jpg\" alt=\"JoeHicksBlackLivesMatterKellyFile071116C\" width=\"240\" height=\"133\" \/>&#8230;This dysfunctional rage has been brewing since Treyvon Martin in Florida, Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Maryland. &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; has been the chant of leftists all across America. Yet, black-on-black murder rates have skyrocketed across the nation. Milwaukee&#8217;s murder rate was up 76% between 2014 and 2015, and similar increases were seen in Saint Louis, Baltimore, Chicago and Washington D.C. Seemingly, black lives only matter when a black person is shot by a police officer &#8211; most often a cop doing his duty. Also ignored is available data that informs us that blacks commit homicide eight times the rate of whites or Hispanics combined, and overall, more than half of the nation&#8217;s homicide victims are black, though blacks make up only 13% of the population.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>According to a recent New York Times\/CBS News poll, 69% of Americans say they race relations is at an all-time low since the 1992 Los Angeles riots. For too long, Americans have submitted themselves to vulgar, ignorant insults coming from activists marching through our cities chanting about imagined American racism and racist cops. Enough with the false claims of the race-obsessed protesters. It is past the time for truth telling about who the real racists are in this society, and this starts by putting the Black Lives Matter activists under the heat lamp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project 21&#8217;s Joe R.
