NYC Mayor Calls Black Lives Matter A Bunch Of Hypocrites!
In the wake of a recent spate of shootings where African Americans were the shooters as well as the victims, NYC Mayor Eric Adams calls Black Lives Matter (BLM) hypocrites!
The mayor’s comments came after a series of shootings that left Black victims dead on Wednesday, Apr. 13.
Adams called out BLM during an interview on NY1 following a string of shootings in the Bronx and Brooklyn that left three people dead and 13 others injured.
“Where are all those who stated ‘Black Lives Matter?’” Adams asked. “Do an analysis of who was killed or shot last night. I was up all night speaking to my commanders in the Bronx, in Brooklyn. The victims were Black.”
“The lives of these Black children that are dying every night matter. We can’t be hypocrites,” he added.
According to reports, bullets hit at least 15 people, and two people were killed as gun violence continued to spiral out of control.
Police recorded six shootings over the space of six hours late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, killing a 23-year-old woman and two men aged 21 and 22, according to the New York Post.
A 23-year-old woman was hit by a stray round as she sat in her car, while a 22-year-old man was also killed in a separate attack.
Adams’s comments seemed to be a thinly-veiled attack on progressives who have criticized his policies in recent weeks. He said those who protested police brutality in 2020 should do the same for the violence currently afflicting the city.
He added: ‘If black lives matter, then the thousands of people I saw on the street when [George] Floyd was murdered should be on the street right now.
Violent crime has skyrocketed since the pandemic in NYC, and it was what catapulted Adams, who has a background in law enforcement, to the mayor’s office in the hopes that he would get tough on crime.
The spat of shootings and Adams’s comments came mere days after a mass shooting at a Brooklyn subway station left nearly 30 people injured, though there were no fatalities. While the perpetrator initially escaped the scene, he was apprehended following a massive manhunt from New York law enforcement.
Police took suspect Frank James into custody on Wednesday. James, a Black man, had posted multiple rants on social media railing against White people and threatening violence.
New York City has been battered by a severe crime wave in recent weeks, with transit attacks spiking 46 percent since last year.
In March alone, the number of crimes in subways jumped 55 percent from the same period last year, NYPD data shows.
There were 180 crimes reported in March of this year compared to 118 crimes for 2021.
BLM is another example the racism inside the Democratic liberal socialist party,where is the millions dollars this organization recive in this two years,how many money is use in black community,how use the leaders for personal benefits
Closer to 11 Billion, most of which is unaccounted for. They have done nothing for the Black Community, so you’re correct except for the amount of money they received in donations.
Black Lives only matter to BLM if they were shot by a white cop!
You mean he’s only JUST figured out that BLM is a bunch of hypocrites? Apparently black lives only matter if “whitey” is the shooter. Blacks are their own worst enemies, with black-on-black violence claiming far more black lives than white-on-black violence. Much of it is gang related. Time to wake up, instead of being “woke”!
Yes its time to “wake”up in this obnoxious “woke” atmosphere….. BUT its really time to drop the political correctness and start re-TELLING the truth… America has a “Black” problem…. call me whatever for speaking the truth… but before you spout out “RACIST”… which is sadly said so much today, it carries little to no meaning anymore…. take a look at the stats and the numbers.. FACTS , don’t have opinions or lie…. if you don’t see it, either you are in such denial, you don’t want to or it doesn’t allow you to profit from your own agenda.
Black Lives Matter is self -described Marxist and racist group who care only about being the violent arm of the Democratic Party! They actively promote racial division and hate against white people ask Marxism. Their main objective is to use that racial division to line their own pockets which is exactly what they’ve always done and continue to do. They don’t care about the black community beyond it being an easy source of revenue. Sickening
All, I repeat ALL Lives Matter. At least to me. I don’t care what color you are. We all bleed red blood and we all have gray matter for brains. The rest is just window dressing.
Blacks will always be for blacks and against whites all the time. Yes we do have a black problem. They expect everything to handed to them. Nevemind going out and working for it. When a BLM woman said she had to steal Gucci to buy diapers I was through.
LOL! No, they just suffer from WHITE ENVY.
They are just figuring out that BLM is not a Movement but, just a hate group full of racism and hatred. I hope mayor Adams will do more for the Black community because, BLM certainly won’t and the haven’t done anything or even protested all of the killing of blacks in Chicago either.
Local Boston “activist” Monica Cannon-Grant – lady behind “Violence in Boston” and naturally a big fan of BLM – was with her husband just indicted on Federal charges for taking donation money for personal use. Can’t imagine how they thought they’d get away with it – playing the “race card” doesn’t seem to be working for them. But give The Enablers time to come up with some kind of sob story involving systemic this-or-that and the Leftist media will suck it right up – “Crooks, you say? Sounds racist to us,” etc etc. You know how it goes. =
