diminishing of a life is a value judgement being made by a subject
so is mattering of a life

If you look at the protests, Black people are showing solidarity, there's no increase of violence or death, this is just a continuation of the violence and death that's already plaguing Baltimore. Violence existed before the protests and will continue to exist afterwards, the only people who will allow "more violence" to undermine the protest efforts are people who are probably not all that bright to begin with if they think that protests will rally all Black people together including those that lead lives of crime. criminals do criminal things, including but not limited to killing people.

your post is basically, "if you want people to take the protests seriously then Black people need to completely stop killing each other", which is idealistic and absurd. the conditions that led to these people being killed are still in place, and a protest doesn't somehow 'suspend' reality.
It's the same old story of the impossible standard of perfection in order to deem black people worthy of justice, I posted the following in some other threads on police violence
you ain't heard? for a black person to get justice, he must be a "perfect", "individual".
One more thing
they expect perfect behavior from black people, almost inhumane (no fear, no mental errors, no context or sense of history, no prejudice) and the acceptable price to them for failing to be perfect is death
that is all they need in order to accept the, criminally and malignantly, less than perfect behavior of the police officer enough such that they may equivocate on this life and death matter, and that they could dare attempt to muddy the clarity of our emotions.

in this thread the only difference is that this guy is implying that the whole population must be perfect in order to get justice:francis:

Baltimore isn't a shythole, if you visited there is no way you would be saying that.

As far as the violence, shyt is gonna happen but its not the 90's, don't let the news bullshyt you. Out of 622,104 people, seeing a high of 235 killings in 2104(a four year high) is not a dangerous place. Especially when you take into account most of those people know each other, and it was about money, or women.

People love to exaggerate shyt.

Off topic but I was reading about crime rates, and noticed that a lot of places like NYC are seen as safe, but when they mention things like homicides, they are referring to Manhattan, not the whole metro area which includes the outer boroughs. I wonder what the true number is when they include the whole city. Of course Manhattan would be low because its a rich area now. To me its a lot of trickery going on, and most fall for it.

Edit: I just read they do include the boroughs, so now I'm really confused because last week I read the opposite. This number shyt is a game that politicians use, but they don't even agree on them. shyt is a Joke.
:what: why would I want to visit Baltimore of all places? I'm going to fly clear cross the country to vacation in Maryland? FOH :childplease:. A shyt hole is a shyt hole breh. I live next to LA one of the biggest shyt holes in the west. People get caught in the Hollywood lies but most of LA is completely disgusting. You can't tell me B-More has more going for it than LA.:sas2:

I'm not saying its a tourists town but Baltimore has a lot more going for it then other towns. Major Universities are there, Johns Hopkins hospital is there, Under Armour is there, and other well known businesses. That's why I don't consider it a shythole.

As far as Maryland itself, its the richest state in the country. As far as blacks, PG county is the home of the wealthiest blacks in the country. Again, Maryland, and Baltimore isn't a shythole.

otherwise, that would mean that white lives don't matter since white people kill white people all the time
Who cares wtf they do? I'm speaking tribe wise we should stand with each other.

And saying that white people kill whute people ok yes we all know this...

My point is a white officer will think twice about gunning down a tribe member.
