Mayor Eric Adams on NY violence, "Where are all those who said Black lives matter?"

[George's Dilemma]

'I thought Black lives mattered?' Mayor Eric Adams slams the activist movement over New York City crime (msn.com)

“If Black lives matter, then the thousands of people I saw on the street when [George] Floyd was murdered should be on the streets right now stating that the lives of these Black children that are dying every night matter,” Adams said. “We can’t be hypocrites.”

“By being consistent with our message. Here is my question that I put out to the city: I thought Black lives mattered. Where are all those who stated Black lives matter?” he asked in response. “Then go do an analysis of who was killed or shot last night. I was up all night speaking to my commanders in the Bronx and Brooklyn. The victims were Black. Many of the shooters were Black.”

"Why are 16, 17, 18-year-olds out on our streets armed with guns at 12:00 or 1:00 a.m.?"

He’s a dumb muthafukka for saying this. Smh. Especially publicly.

Sounds like the average Coli poster, idk why any buckdancing c00n that posts here would be offended

It’s the uncomfortable question that we’re never wanting to answer.

Black people need to be more accountable for the violence in our own community.

Edit* BLM is more for police and white supremacy. But shouldn’t be mutually exclusive for inter-racial violence.

Surely the All Lives Matter crowd has stepped up to help, yes?

I expect nothing less from a former cop turned politician

Lol I can’t believe he publicly said that

Can anyone here get more specific about their issues with his comments here?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Black Lives Matter has a specific agenda. It’s like asking why doesn’t Internal Affairs get involved with gang violence

But it’s a valid point. We should have the energy to hold ourselves and our communities accountable when black babies and black children are being killed and sometimes doing the killing out here. If another cop never killed another one of use we’d still be dying. *In KRS voice* why is that?

And how come no matter what city you go to the area around MLK Blvd is always one of the most dangerous parts of the city?

I just saw him ride by a couple of hours ago. My first thought was… “he hasn’t done anything remotely in his administration except get fly and make sideways comments”

He, and others, have called their bluffs consistently.
