Many “Black Lives Matter” Leaders only want Money & Power

Do the “Black Lives Matter” protest leaders and supporters actually care about saving or improving black lives or are they just pretending?  Do they promote obeying the law and complying with police orders?  No.  Do they try to stop the thousands of annual black on black murders?  No.  Do they help blacks to escape poverty?  No.

All lives, including black lives, matter to TEA Partiers because we know that policies that hurt some Americans can be re-directed at others, and right now we are hated by Washington leaders and special interests everywhere.  We work for things that enable all Americans to be free, safe, and successful; things like school choice, stable families, increasing economic freedom to create good jobs, opportunities, and wealth, the rule of law applied equally to all, and the limited government defined by the US Constitution which exists to protect the rights of the American people.

Where do the “Black Lives Matter” protest leaders, President Obama, most “progressive” politicians, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, etc. stand on issues that would make blacks (and all Americans) safer, freer, and more successful?

They fight against school choice, preferring to lock students in failing and dangerous schools.

They oppose reforming today’s welfare programs that lock people in poverty by penalizing marriage and efforts to escape welfare.

They support lenient law enforcement which creates victims and prevents the accumulation of the wealth needed to escape poverty.

They support open borders allowing illegal aliens to flood the labor market occupied by the least skilled Americans, exacerbating their difficulties in escaping poverty.

They deceive people to gain power.  Minimum-wage laws depress black employment, hindering many young blacks searching for a first job to begin their path to success.  Wealth distribution buys votes but it doesn’t encourage success.  After six years of President Obama’s wealth distribution and blaming the rich, the rich are doing very well while most Americans are poorer.

Booker T. Washington said, “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.  Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievance, because they do not want to lose their jobs.  There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.”  This describes the “black lives matter” leaders and supporters.

The only group truly working for every American, rather than some special interest(s), is the TEA Party; that is why both political parties and their supporters attack it.  Join a TEA Party and help change our nation’s leadership so all Americans are safer, freer, and more successful.
