I'm a Hispanic and back in 2015 an illegal immigrant walked into a 711 and stabbed a college student to death then fled the scene. When the police arrived and were talking to witnesses the man hid on the side of the building watching the police till a witness pointed him out. He than began to approach law enforcement with the knife in his hand. He was shot and people tried to tell me I should be angry cause he was one of my people and he was killed unjustly even after he killed someone they tried to paint him as an innocent victim.
i don't understand that, so should you a normal person who would never murder anyone feel sympathy for degenerate murder, imo that person got what he deserved
I'm white. I've met a wide range of white people I would never identify with. I feel the same goes with every other race. Group identity is a dangerous thing and is being used against all of us. The media paints a picture where stereotypes are bad while stereotyping entire races. The sad thing is some people have their blinders on.
I remember seeing a video of a black woman telling black people to buy cheap land out somewhere (can't remember where), so we could have our own community and live in peace free of white people. Spoken like a someone who has never lived in a majority black "community."
"Diversity is our strength" Meanwhile trying to bring segregation back. Tbh I find this similar to what happened in CHAZ. People who can't hold themselves accountable for anything can't grow and build.
A guy named Kenzie? tried it. He bought quite a few acres above the tree line where nothing grows. He was arrested this year in a very non-diverse suburb for extortion or kidnapping.
@OP That would actually work as long as the people scapegoating white people, gangbangers or drug dealers werent allowed to move in with the rest of us black people. And we kick out anyone who started doing any of that destructive bullshit. The overwhelming majority of black people are just good honest people, the worst subset of black people are the ones representing us and given most of the money for some odd fucking reason instead of normal black people
It's comforting to know even black people see through their grift, I'm white so I can't say anything else I be labeled a bigot and or racist so black people have to be the voice in this
The thing is a lot of black people know BLM for the grifting race baiters they really are long before it became known. But you'll barely hear it because their voices get silenced.

I had to bite my tongue the other day when my TDS uncle was complaining about the crime and how bad the police are in one of my states few democratic counties. Defund the police did not help the crime. Just made sure the competent and good cops left. Leaving us with the leftovers. It's funny the looks I get when I tell people the biggest problem facing my black community is the fatherless homes. It's like I grew a second head. They have no clue because no one addresses it.
As someone who grew up in public housing, you spoke nothing but facts. Fatherless homes with mothers who can't or won't properly raise their kids is the biggest problem in the black community. That and the fact that no one wants to talk bout or address that.
Next time say this to your uncle. You’re a criminal and you have a choice between two towns. Town A pays their police, town B doesn’t, which town do you want to go to?

That was the problem with the movement from the start. The focus should have been ok police reform or replacement not black lives. If the movement was called Police Reform Now, Reduce Urban Crime, or something similar, then they probably would have made a lot of progress, but by making it about race, it detracts from real solutions and the real problems.
Now THESE are strong men. Whether black, brown or white, THIS is what our boys need to listen to. Truths hurt but these men know the truth and want to change it.
The most disgusting aspect of the Zyion Charles murder is he was with the group that fired the shots and was caught in the crossfire (frankly, because they're all terrible shots and don't care who they kill because of their lousy aim). His "friends" then left him to die on the sidewalk while they celebrated all the way back to the train station, then started harassing passengers, possibly hoping to provoke a response so they could kill them too. These people are so corrupted and sociopathic that they are probably lost. If they don't wind up serving decades in jail, they'll be released and most likely be dead before they're 25.
It only matters when someone else is to blame. It's much harder to hold you and yours accountable, but it must be done if any real progress is going to happen.
It's not even hard. The difference is the lack of fortitude, this is what happens when you are granted participation trophies your whole life. You lose the hability to self-criticism and thus, to criticize others sharing your ideology/skin color.
@@spark154 I completely agree. And that goes for any race/community. Children need to learn accountability starts at home and to always to try and better yourself. Blaming others gets us nowhere.

Aren't such statement a racist loophole? I know that blm created white saviour syndrome which is pretty cringe sometimes, but aren't united nation should stand up for a crimes all of colors? The thing is its blacks that somewhat united and like one for all and all for one, bcs they are a minority's. But whites are a majority and divided bcs of this... So i believe when regular white folk that doesn't doing business with black, should not to care about other white dude that doing racist stuff, bcs he shouldn't care about black on black issues and didn't have enough unity to be guilty for every white folk. Long story short: it's kinda counterproductive to be that separated in a community where whites and blacks live together

As a 28 year old white man, I have always been skeptical about BLM and their motives, but whenever I question them, or dare to speak out against them, I get the usual response of "But you're white!" It doesn't matter to me if I'm white, black, Asian, Hispanic, or an alien with pink polka dots. I believe that all lives, with a few exceptions, matter equally. However, as Leon said in this video, BLM only start the chants and riots and stuff like that, WHEN the person who died fit THEIR narrative. That, added with the money from donations being mis-handled, (For example, buying a mansion using donation money meant for bettering the African American community) I now have more reason than ever to denounce them. Thank you Leon for having the cojones to speak out against these people and other morons like them. You're providing awareness and encouraging people to use critical thinking and accountability, which, in 2022, is sadly becoming a lost facet of how we as people learn.

You're clearly lacking braincells if you thought that was a good comparison and explanation as to why BLM shouldn't care for these people.
@@inferiorinferno8859 No, BLM aimed is to stop black people being hurt or killed by law enforcement and to hold law enforcement countable. You guys are trying to flip it.

This might sound stupid but this "Crab in a bucket" mentality really needs to stop. No mother, father, grandparent or anyone should be losing their own children at such senseless violence.
Oh wow, the "snitches get stitches" mentality is standing in the way of a critically injured woman (and her family) receiving justice, how absolutely unexpected and shocking. 🤦
Lets be real, if you where an FBI agent or police officer would you want your face and name, as well as your family to be known? Knowing how grifters can sway the mobs?
Honestly, no one should care at this point. BLM and similar racial anti-Brits over there are a danger to their society, so to some it can seem as a +1 tally against Marxist extremism in how she ended up(?), but in reality it's just the simple conclusion in the end: she bit the bullet at the hands of her own narrative. Simple as.
I'm not sure it's fair to say she jumped on their grift. I think she just saw a new black group, and invited them in. Judging by what I've read about her, she was much more like the Panthers, and was actively involved in trying to change things.
So let's say you're bitter over being poor. You decide to sell drugs and become a gangster to fix it. Consider it for a moment. What do you think the authorities do when some broke guy from the hood starts throwing money around like no tomorrow? Even if you never get caught red handed with drugs, the IRS will DEFINITELY catch you red handed with undeclared income. One of the greatest gangster in history, Al Capone wasn't brought down through murder charges or getting caught with illicit goods or any of that sort of thing. He was brought down by the taxman. So if you want to get rich AND avoid the taxman, then being a drug dealer is a losing game. Stay in school, study maths, educate yourself in book keeping and economics, THEN you might be able to avoid taxes (maybe). Only two things are certain in life: death and taxes (as the old saying goes)
@@sevenproxies4255 One thing about it is, when blk using drugs, they were sent to prison. They labeled it the crack epidemic and the war on drugs begun. However, when wht were using drugs, they did not go to prison. The judicial system considered it to be a health/medical crisis. They labeled it the Opioid Crisis
I fucking LOVE the 2nd guy, and I hope I'm reading him right. I believe what he says is this: "Fathers in prison... We have fathers in the street that are leading this madness.." When he starts with "Fathers in prison," I believe he means it as a question, as if to say "why do people complain about fathers in prison, when there are plenty of fathers contributing to the problem." I could be mistaken but if not, that hits the same as the words made immortal by the founding fathers, and from other leaders at pivotal moments in history.
The only things that have pushed me toward outright racism have been folks not taking responsibility for their own kind and having a massive chip on their shoulder, always pointing fingers everywhere but inward. Folks like Leon keep me from hopping off the fence. Really hope things will finally change soon.
Very true. Ive had so much negativity since people have been demonizing me just because of the color of my skin. Just because I'm white, I am at fault for everything. But people like Leon keeps my faith in humanity
I'm glad you haven't. I've been warning about how blaming people solely on skin color is what ultimately pushes some good people over the racism fence because if you villify someone regardless of what they actually do, they stop giving a shit _about_ being good. Not to mention it doesn't address the root of the problem: shitty people doing shitty things, of all kinds of appearances, it's just some use those appearances to justify their shitty behavior.
@@hinglemccringleberry9389 I'm proud of my heritage, whatever someone else calls it. I'm Italian and Scottish, I have the only true claim to the term Latino. My ancestors braved the great Atlantic and settled a world entirely new to them. My predecessors built kingdoms and empires, and let them tumble out from under them. There's fault and travesty in their actions, just like mine, but I vehemently refuse to allow anyone to shame my heart over my heritage or lineage. That is the shit that tears it for me. I live to make my ancestors proud of me. We should all have such a mindset.
I come from an Irish background. At this rate, if I get shit from anyone cause Im white. Im immediately pulling the Irish card... Like I get it, black people have had it hard in life. But the problem is it didnt start with white people. It started with their own people. Same shit happened with the Indians. They basically are racists against their own kind. Same thing with the Irish. In all honesty, Irish had it way worse than the black people did in terms of slavery. Yet not a single word is ever mentioned about it. Only black peoples slavery past matters. Right?
Between this, and black America's refusal to go see "The Woman King," it gives me hope that people are finally waking up to just how petty and destructive wokeism really is, and how it just makes preexisting problems even worse for everyone instead of addressing the real issues behind them.
People are not caring because the community has done nothing to remedy their problems. If you want to heal, you have to start from within not without. Is it easy? Of course not, but no one promised an easy life
There are awful people in all places, of all colors, genders, sexual orientations, etc. Negating that is living in a fantasy, this doesn't mean bigotry is justified, it means that a criminal is a criminal and protecting him for his skin color seems like just going backwards.
It's a sad fact, but it'd be even sadder if no one is willing to speak the truth. At least a few souls might hear the truth and grow up to be the next one to speak the truth to others.
I’ve lost black friends i’ve had nearly my entire life over this specific subject. It sucks, but principle has to be stood on. I keep talking with more and more black folks in Texas that are on board though and it gives me hope.
Actual Justice Warrior covered that last story; the crappy thing about it (besides the obvious) is that her son was friends with the shooters and they left him to die on the street so they could basically go and celebrate shooting the other kid. I'm glad they got arrested.
Well said, if ANY commiunity protects their own at the cost of others, they are the problem and violence will continue to spriral out of control for all of us.
Really sucks they were used as a martyr. Not a single penny went to help any black folk. As a white man I wish we all got along. Thanks for the videos bro. If I wasn’t subbed with notifications on I doubt I’d see your work. Blessing 😎🤝🏻
That's a very shocking image of the woman with her head caved in. Any time I see something like this I really get a sense of mortality. How despite wanting to feel like I'm invincible, time is limited and danger threatens my life and its quality.
I have never commented on a topic like this, all I can say is how sad I am for the mother. to lose a child in that manner. I am sure the wound will never heal, nevertheless, I hope she has the ability to give her family the support necessary to keep them together and not fracture as so many families do in a situation like this. My prayers are with them.
Much like America in Britain it's mostly about poverty, the more poverty in an area the more violence. And yes we do need to hold ourselves accountable.
That last news... I don't feel so good, man. It's just pure pain. Does the "cause" really matter when it failed to save these boys' lives? I just wish those who say they care actually cared.

Imagine thinking that it hurts the "community" when cold-blooded murderers are arrested. Now imagine one of the victims of those murderers you think should be free to roam the streets, was someone you supposedly care about.
One thing that is a major factor to a long term solution is education. I'm specifically talking about powerful education such as STEM or law. Yes, some black people go into these fields but we are very UNDERREPRESETED. I always try to urge people to ENCOURAGE and cultivate black folks to go into these fields (especially STEM since that's my area of study) I see many black people on campus at university but almost none in my upper division STEM classes. I think if we can inspire/ encourage our people to be scientists and engineers this can have a major impact over time. I always offer free tutoring specifically for black stem majors. Let me be clear, I am speaking of the education not the degree. Degrees are good, but take the learning serious and you will gain power and know-how which nobody can take from you. I hate school systems, but again, the education is undeniably powerful. Debt is another issue, but depending on where you live it can be 100% free. In California where I am you can get financial aid to pay for everything and give you thousands per semester on top of paying tuition! Please take advantage of this I feel our people are missing out huge!
Black Lives Matter UK had to change their name to "The Black Liberation Movement UK" in 2020, still keeping the BLM moniker, just so they can change their legal classification from a political organisation to a charity. This was done so they could legally fundraise and collect donations from the public. They had around £6 million in donations that the UK government wouldn't let them have because they were a political organisation.
The words of this grieving mother strike at the heart of me. We need to change how we run our world, all of us. We MUST. May this lady be blessed, and may her experience be a catalyst for change. I'm praying for all of us to find a better way of doing things.
Thank you for showcasing this. Unfortunately, this is going to fall on closed ears. As much as people knock on Chicago, their community leaders (of all heritages) have been speaking out on this and it gets ignored. "Why don't you help the community" they try, and maybe get 30 seconds on TV.
As soon as he said Baltimore City, I said, "Shit's about to get real." Yes, I am from Baltimore and I have known the struggles a lot of people have gone through. I had a lot of people tell me stories and it was sobering.
I wish artists I follow on Twitter (yes I still go there, but I ain't those crazy people, I just like the art they make) that support this group realize this. It sadly bothers me how they have it on their usernames and bios, even when they talk about it or retweet about it.
My heart goes out to that mother. I don't have children but I do know what it's like losing a close family member suddenly out of nowhere. It is like a nightmare and sometimes I have dreams that they're there, only to wake up and remember the reality of the situation. I know she will never be over it, but I hope she's able to move along with her life and keep strong
Keep doing what you do RuinedLeon!! I think this one is the best - people are getting back to holding people accountable and calling it out is the first step. The truth hurts - some parents have been in denial about their children!!
Merry Christmas, Leon! I agree wholeheartedly with you. I absolutely REFUSE to feel sorry for an irredeemable criminal like George Floyd. To me, it doesn't matter what they look like, a criminal is a criminal, is a criminal, is a criminal.
I'm a white Brit. Never have nor will hate the peoples of Africa. Nor do I hate our black, brown British folk. In fact I'm proud of them. Really don't appreciate being told what I think when it's just born out of self pity not understanding. Perhaps if you talked with us you guys might get a pleasant suprise. Life is to short for hate. It's a psychological cancer. Happy New year proud people of our great nation.
Well done and well said, I'm a White person and was brought up in Brixton in the UK 🇬🇧 and never (and still dont) understood the Black community when Black on Black go around killing each other and the Black community stays silent...The Black community's will change but unfortunately it will and has to be done within and people need to be willing to make that change. I can not believe no one said anything to help find the person who shot that woman, I found it weird everyone was jumping up and down when it was said a 'White' person done it, and to find out it was Black on Black again...how silent it all became WHY?. We need more like YOU coming out speaking TRUTH, then we ALL can hope a glimmer of hope to our areas in society 🙏 👍
RuinedLeon Thank you for talking about this. Thank you so much. This seems to be one of the issues that only black people can speak about. Because any time anyone else does, they are shouted down or otherwise deplatformed, and accused of racism. Just like how feelings are more important than facts to many people today, and an individual's "truth" is more important than THE truth, those facts are also bigotry if the "wrong people" speak them. Thank you so much for speaking on this matter, I just subscribed to you, ans I hope you both had a very happy holiday and have a wonderful new year.
I say there needs to be a change of leadership in the black community because it seems like the current leadership is only interested playing the victim I would like to see black people to grow and to become something more but every time there's something bad happen in the the black community white people gets the blame for it even we didn't have anything to do with. With the current leadership in the black community only believes that we if we give money to the black community is going to solve all their problems I am sorry to say that's not going to solve anything I am not saying anything bad or hateful I would love to see black people to get it together and come together with white and black and all races to work together to for a better future I hope to God that the black community will get true leadership and come out of the wilderness into the promised Land and I mean no disrespect when I say this. Just like Spike Lee said do the right thing
that explains alot n why BLM wsnt present at the time, this all took place in Europe, specifically England and not in America. BLM isnt as big in England as it is in America
I hate seeing all the BS you guys are going thru as a community. I'm white, and want to help somehow, but I understand that there's some people who have a problem with help from outside the race. I wish you all the best of luck anyways
I agree, definitely at 1:10 - I asked the same for our people to speak on the problems we face in our communities and end the "stop snitching" code when innocents are involved. I care about police brutality and criminals who attack other people equally, and I wish many realize this. I partially disagree on the reparations comment though: Regardless of what African Americans spend their money on, that is their choice. No one asked Jews, Native Americans or the Japanese on how they spent their reparations.
I have been subscribed to your channel for long while now. You have never said anything I disagree with. I don't think I have ever commented before, but I always hit the "Thumbs Up Button."

The most disgusting aspect of the Zyion Charles murder is he was with the group that fired the shots and was caught in the crossfire (frankly, because they're all terrible shots and don't care who they kill because of their lousy aim). His "friends" then left him to die on the sidewalk while they celebrated all the way back to the train station, then started harassing passengers, possibly hoping to provoke a response so they could kill them too. These people are so corrupted and sociopathic that they are probably lost. If they don't wind up serving decades in jail, they'll be released and most likely be dead before they're 25.
It only matters when someone else is to blame. It's much harder to hold you and yours accountable, but it must be done if any real progress is going to happen.
It's not even hard. The difference is the lack of fortitude, this is what happens when you are granted participation trophies your whole life. You lose the hability to self-criticism and thus, to criticize others sharing your ideology/skin color.
"Snitches Get Stitches", right? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@spark154 I completely agree. And that goes for any race/community. Children need to learn accountability starts at home and to always to try and better yourself. Blaming others gets us nowhere.
Yup and a generation of narcissism will also mean that people don't see that their ideas are flawed and causing the problems to become worse.
@@ivehaditidontcareanymore.6326 What's more upsetting, is that all this stupid flawed ideas won't even affect them. The people they claim are "championing for" will be the ones suffering, and then they will call them names for daring to call them out.
The men from the black community must stand up like this. 🇺🇸
Wish it was that simple
Aren't such statement a racist loophole?
I know that blm created white saviour syndrome which is pretty cringe sometimes, but aren't united nation should stand up for a crimes all of colors?
The thing is its blacks that somewhat united and like one for all and all for one, bcs they are a minority's. But whites are a majority and divided bcs of this... So i believe when regular white folk that doesn't doing business with black, should not to care about other white dude that doing racist stuff, bcs he shouldn't care about black on black issues and didn't have enough unity to be guilty for every white folk.
Long story short: it's kinda counterproductive to be that separated in a community where whites and blacks live together
I would like to call out the American Breast Cancer Foundation for not addressing heart disease and domestic violence against women. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in the U.S.. The American Breast Cancer Foundation has let women who are suffering from heart disease down all around this country. In the 2005, there were 1181 women murdered due to domestic violence in the U.S. I blame the American Breast Cancer Foundation for not addressing the issue of domestic violence against women.

And women..
When logic out weighs feelings it's a beautiful moment
As a 28 year old white man, I have always been skeptical about BLM and their motives, but whenever I question them, or dare to speak out against them, I get the usual response of "But you're white!"
It doesn't matter to me if I'm white, black, Asian, Hispanic, or an alien with pink polka dots. I believe that all lives, with a few exceptions, matter equally. However, as Leon said in this video, BLM only start the chants and riots and stuff like that, WHEN the person who died fit THEIR narrative. That, added with the money from donations being mis-handled, (For example, buying a mansion using donation money meant for bettering the African American community) I now have more reason than ever to denounce them. Thank you Leon for having the cojones to speak out against these people and other morons like them. You're providing awareness and encouraging people to use critical thinking and accountability, which, in 2022, is sadly becoming a lost facet of how we as people learn.

You're clearly lacking braincells if you thought that was a good comparison and explanation as to why BLM shouldn't care for these people.

This might sound stupid but this "Crab in a bucket" mentality really needs to stop. No mother, father, grandparent or anyone should be losing their own children at such senseless violence.
Oh wow, the "snitches get stitches" mentality is standing in the way of a critically injured woman (and her family) receiving justice, how absolutely unexpected and shocking. 🤦
With all the shady finances, why haven't they been thrown in jail yet?
Lets be real, if you where an FBI agent or police officer would you want your face and name, as well as your family to be known? Knowing how grifters can sway the mobs?
Coz investigating black con men is rayciss or something, probably.
Because BLM was a front for DNC donations.
Bribing maybe? Maybe they're still investigating who knows
Why would their paymasters arrest them? They funneled the money through ActBlue, a Democrat slush fund. Why would they go to jail for doing their job?
She jumped on the BLM grift and paid for it and now lies in a hospital basically a vegetable and all of those that were there couldn't care less
Honestly, no one should care at this point.
BLM and similar racial anti-Brits over there are a danger to their society, so to some it can seem as a +1 tally against Marxist extremism in how she ended up(?), but in reality it's just the simple conclusion in the end: she bit the bullet at the hands of her own narrative.
Simple as.
True story. Fake is fake.
A useful idiot has been cast aside.
I'm not sure it's fair to say she jumped on their grift. I think she just saw a new black group, and invited them in. Judging by what I've read about her, she was much more like the Panthers, and was actively involved in trying to change things.
The awareness of BLM's evils must spread far and wide.
It has to be spread everywhere from all around the world so that way people will know that blm is a evil organization and a scam
So let's say you're bitter over being poor.
You decide to sell drugs and become a gangster to fix it.
Consider it for a moment. What do you think the authorities do when some broke guy from the hood starts throwing money around like no tomorrow?
Even if you never get caught red handed with drugs, the IRS will DEFINITELY catch you red handed with undeclared income.
One of the greatest gangster in history, Al Capone wasn't brought down through murder charges or getting caught with illicit goods or any of that sort of thing. He was brought down by the taxman.
So if you want to get rich AND avoid the taxman, then being a drug dealer is a losing game. Stay in school, study maths, educate yourself in book keeping and economics, THEN you might be able to avoid taxes (maybe).
Only two things are certain in life: death and taxes (as the old saying goes)
Well if you really want that go to Mexico. The cartels run their government but the competition is murder.
@@MamaMOB But even if you do get ahead in Mexico, you'll get extradited to the U.S in the and. As Joaquin Gusman found out for himself.
@@sevenproxies4255 what are these taxes you speak of?
Blacks calling themselves "gangstas" is cultural appropriation.
@@sevenproxies4255 One thing about it is, when blk using drugs, they were sent to prison. They labeled it the crack epidemic and the war on drugs begun.
However, when wht were using drugs, they did not go to prison. The judicial system considered it to be a health/medical crisis. They labeled it the Opioid Crisis
I fucking LOVE the 2nd guy, and I hope I'm reading him right. I believe what he says is this:
"Fathers in prison...
We have fathers in the street that are leading this madness.."
When he starts with "Fathers in prison," I believe he means it as a question, as if to say "why do people complain about fathers in prison, when there are plenty of fathers contributing to the problem." I could be mistaken but if not, that hits the same as the words made immortal by the founding fathers, and from other leaders at pivotal moments in history.
The only things that have pushed me toward outright racism have been folks not taking responsibility for their own kind and having a massive chip on their shoulder, always pointing fingers everywhere but inward. Folks like Leon keep me from hopping off the fence. Really hope things will finally change soon.
Very true.
Ive had so much negativity since people have been demonizing me just because of the color of my skin.
Just because I'm white, I am at fault for everything.
But people like Leon keeps my faith in humanity
I'm glad you haven't. I've been warning about how blaming people solely on skin color is what ultimately pushes some good people over the racism fence because if you villify someone regardless of what they actually do, they stop giving a shit _about_ being good.
Not to mention it doesn't address the root of the problem: shitty people doing shitty things, of all kinds of appearances, it's just some use those appearances to justify their shitty behavior.
@@hinglemccringleberry9389 I'm proud of my heritage, whatever someone else calls it. I'm Italian and Scottish, I have the only true claim to the term Latino. My ancestors braved the great Atlantic and settled a world entirely new to them. My predecessors built kingdoms and empires, and let them tumble out from under them. There's fault and travesty in their actions, just like mine, but I vehemently refuse to allow anyone to shame my heart over my heritage or lineage.
That is the shit that tears it for me. I live to make my ancestors proud of me. We should all have such a mindset.
I come from an Irish background. At this rate, if I get shit from anyone cause Im white. Im immediately pulling the Irish card...
Like I get it, black people have had it hard in life. But the problem is it didnt start with white people. It started with their own people. Same shit happened with the Indians. They basically are racists against their own kind. Same thing with the Irish. In all honesty, Irish had it way worse than the black people did in terms of slavery.
Yet not a single word is ever mentioned about it. Only black peoples slavery past matters. Right?
But you see. Most don't notice, but when you point your finger at someone, at least three fingers are pointed back at you.
I have not seen so many 'strong black men' in one place, at the same time, in decades. It was refreshing.
Between this, and black America's refusal to go see "The Woman King," it gives me hope that people are finally waking up to just how petty and destructive wokeism really is, and how it just makes preexisting problems even worse for everyone instead of addressing the real issues behind them.
People are not caring because the community has done nothing to remedy their problems. If you want to heal, you have to start from within not without. Is it easy? Of course not, but no one promised an easy life
There are awful people in all places, of all colors, genders, sexual orientations, etc. Negating that is living in a fantasy, this doesn't mean bigotry is justified, it means that a criminal is a criminal and protecting him for his skin color seems like just going backwards.
Unfortunately here in Baltimore brave men like this get killed all the time for speaking truth.
It's a sad fact, but it'd be even sadder if no one is willing to speak the truth. At least a few souls might hear the truth and grow up to be the next one to speak the truth to others.
This is what happens when you prioritize feelings instead of facts…
This is the reality no one wants to face. 🙏🙏
I’ve lost black friends i’ve had nearly my entire life over this specific subject. It sucks, but principle has to be stood on. I keep talking with more and more black folks in Texas that are on board though and it gives me hope.
Actual Justice Warrior covered that last story; the crappy thing about it (besides the obvious) is that her son was friends with the shooters and they left him to die on the street so they could basically go and celebrate shooting the other kid. I'm glad they got arrested.
Well said, if ANY commiunity protects their own at the cost of others, they are the problem and violence will continue to spriral out of control for all of us.
They're not protecting their own. In fact they're actively sabotaging any attempt to protect their own, because a select few of them profit from it.
Really sucks they were used as a martyr. Not a single penny went to help any black folk. As a white man I wish we all got along. Thanks for the videos bro. If I wasn’t subbed with notifications on I doubt I’d see your work. Blessing 😎🤝🏻
That's a very shocking image of the woman with her head caved in.
Any time I see something like this I really get a sense of mortality.
How despite wanting to feel like I'm invincible, time is limited and danger threatens my life and its quality.
Time to start taking that danger seriously, eh?
@@conormccue2871 Yes!
And I've been saying so for years but no one has taken me seriously.
Not caved in. Her skull was blown off by bullets. It's gone. Along with significant chunks of her brain.
If I were a police officer assigned to this case, I'd say, "You think we're so racist, you find out who did it!!"
I have never commented on a topic like this, all I can say is how sad I am for the mother. to lose a child in that manner. I am sure the wound will never heal, nevertheless, I hope she has the ability to give her family the support necessary to keep them together and not fracture as so many families do in a situation like this. My prayers are with them.
She’s not the first and unless we fix this cultural problem she won’t be the last.
She thinks her sons murderers should be free to roam the streets, because it's somehow bad to arrest cold-blooded murderers if they're black.
Yeah... Too late. "Da communitah" have gotten what they've wanted. They'll have to deal with it.
Much like America in Britain it's mostly about poverty, the more poverty in an area the more violence. And yes we do need to hold ourselves accountable.
People don't have principles anymore, their outrage is context sensitive. It doesn't matter what is done, what matters is who does it.
That last news... I don't feel so good, man. It's just pure pain. Does the "cause" really matter when it failed to save these boys' lives? I just wish those who say they care actually cared.
I like how the reporters say the perps are “teens” but if it were white perps, the description would be far more detailed than just “teens”

Imagine thinking that it hurts the "community" when cold-blooded murderers are arrested. Now imagine one of the victims of those murderers you think should be free to roam the streets, was someone you supposedly care about.
This man just spit facts, and that is all he does, should be a much bigger channel than what he has right now.
You spoke nothing but truth! Speak the truth, we need to respect each other
One thing that is a major factor to a long term solution is education. I'm specifically talking about powerful education such as STEM or law.
Yes, some black people go into these fields but we are very UNDERREPRESETED. I always try to urge people to ENCOURAGE and cultivate black folks to go into these fields (especially STEM since that's my area of study)
I see many black people on campus at university but almost none in my upper division STEM classes. I think if we can inspire/ encourage our people to be scientists and engineers this can have a major impact over time. I always offer free tutoring specifically for black stem majors.
Let me be clear, I am speaking of the education not the degree. Degrees are good, but take the learning serious and you will gain power and know-how which nobody can take from you. I hate school systems, but again, the education is undeniably powerful.
Debt is another issue, but depending on where you live it can be 100% free. In California where I am you can get financial aid to pay for everything and give you thousands per semester on top of paying tuition! Please take advantage of this I feel our people are missing out huge!
Black Lives Matter UK had to change their name to "The Black Liberation Movement UK" in 2020, still keeping the BLM moniker, just so they can change their legal classification from a political organisation to a charity. This was done so they could legally fundraise and collect donations from the public. They had around £6 million in donations that the UK government wouldn't let them have because they were a political organisation.
Too little, too late. The blakkistan matriarchy got exactly what they wanted.
The words of this grieving mother strike at the heart of me. We need to change how we run our world, all of us. We MUST. May this lady be blessed, and may her experience be a catalyst for change. I'm praying for all of us to find a better way of doing things.
Funny thing is it's usually them that's killing each other
Thank you for showcasing this. Unfortunately, this is going to fall on closed ears. As much as people knock on Chicago, their community leaders (of all heritages) have been speaking out on this and it gets ignored. "Why don't you help the community" they try, and maybe get 30 seconds on TV.
Leon you speak nothing but truth! God help this country.
As soon as he said Baltimore City, I said, "Shit's about to get real." Yes, I am from Baltimore and I have known the struggles a lot of people have gone through. I had a lot of people tell me stories and it was sobering.
I wish artists I follow on Twitter (yes I still go there, but I ain't those crazy people, I just like the art they make) that support this group realize this. It sadly bothers me how they have it on their usernames and bios, even when they talk about it or retweet about it.
We need more common sense people like you Leon. You give me some hope for the future.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It's about time.

I know she will never be over it, but I hope she's able to move along with her life and keep strong

Merry Christmas, Leon! I agree wholeheartedly with you. I absolutely REFUSE to feel sorry for an irredeemable criminal like George Floyd. To me, it doesn't matter what they look like, a criminal is a criminal, is a criminal, is a criminal.
I'm a white Brit. Never have nor will hate the peoples of Africa. Nor do I hate our black, brown British folk. In fact I'm proud of them. Really don't appreciate being told what I think when it's just born out of self pity not understanding. Perhaps if you talked with us you guys might get a pleasant suprise. Life is to short for hate. It's a psychological cancer. Happy New year proud people of our great nation.
Well done and well said, I'm a White person and was brought up in Brixton in the UK 🇬🇧 and never (and still dont) understood the Black community when Black on Black go around killing each other and the Black community stays silent...The Black community's will change but unfortunately it will and has to be done within and people need to be willing to make that change. I can not believe no one said anything to help find the person who shot that woman, I found it weird everyone was jumping up and down when it was said a 'White' person done it, and to find out it was Black on Black again...how silent it all became WHY?. We need more like YOU coming out speaking TRUTH, then we ALL can hope a glimmer of hope to our areas in society 🙏 👍

Thank you for talking about this. Thank you so much. This seems to be one of the issues that only black people can speak about. Because any time anyone else does, they are shouted down or otherwise deplatformed, and accused of racism. Just like how feelings are more important than facts to many people today, and an individual's "truth" is more important than THE truth, those facts are also bigotry if the "wrong people" speak them. Thank you so much for speaking on this matter, I just subscribed to you, ans I hope you both had a very happy holiday and have a wonderful new year.

YEAH!!!!! calling BLM out is GREAT!!!! but do you know what would've been better?calling them out years ago, when THINKING people called the out
I say there needs to be a change of leadership in the black community because it seems like the current leadership is only interested playing the victim I would like to see black people to grow and to become something more but every time there's something bad happen in the the black community white people gets the blame for it even we didn't have anything to do with. With the current leadership in the black community only believes that we if we give money to the black community is going to solve all their problems I am sorry to say that's not going to solve anything I am not saying anything bad or hateful I would love to see black people to get it together and come together with white and black and all races to work together to for a better future I hope to God that the black community will get true leadership and come out of the wilderness into the promised Land and I mean no disrespect when I say this. Just like Spike Lee said do the right thing

What is the mother of 2 young children doing at a house party in the early morning?
I agree, definitely at 1:10 - I asked the same for our people to speak on the problems we face in our communities and end the "stop snitching" code when innocents are involved. I care about police brutality and criminals who attack other people equally, and I wish many realize this. I partially disagree on the reparations comment though: Regardless of what African Americans spend their money on, that is their choice. No one asked Jews, Native Americans or the Japanese on how they spent their reparations.
Comment for the algorithm. Nice seeing someone like you
