I'm still waiting for any EVIDENCE that police or whites are killing blacks at a higher rate than any other racial group in America. If you can't support this chant with FACTS, you should probably take a second and reexamine why this moves you the way it does. Is it possible you are just being manipulated? Is it possible that your empathy is being exploited?

I don't like that George Floyd was killed as much as any of you, but I am not going to be manipulated by the image of a bad cop killing a black man. I want to look at the system as a whole before I say it's broken. When you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than you do of being shot by a police officer, I'd say blacks are doing alright in this country, at least as it pertains to systemic killings by police (which isn't a thing). Just give me any DATA that supports this lie, and I'll go protest with you.

The truth is that Black Lives Matter is a socialist program run by trained Marxists who equivocate whiteness with capitalism, and see blackness as the political tool to change the system. People mindlessly chant the narrative because they are too busy or lazy to look up the information for themselves. There is a reason it is emotionally charged. There's a reason it connects "systemic" racism to American capitalism. There's a reason it's world wide. This is not because the narrative is TRUE, but because it's a globalist, socialist movement that has a goal to destroy American idealism. Go ahead and put kneeling for the anthem in there, because it checks the right boxes. 

Prove it. Please. Show me.

You can't without shifting the argument to police brutality as a whole, which has nothing to do with Black lives specifically, or talking about the quality of black lives which has nothing to do with why the organization was formed or when they decide to protest (which is only after a black person is killed by a white man). BLM is a lie.

A very quick and simple  Google check will show many sites explaining very simply, with numbers, that black people are killed at  a higher rate.  
One can also ignorantly say black people commit more crimes.  That's irrelevant.  They're not getting shot(murdered) at the same rate.
It explains it so simply laid out that someone as thick as a goal post could figure it out.
