'Hostile, Separatist and Crazy': Tucker Battles Supporter of 'Blacks-Only' Memorial Day Party

Daily News columnist and Black Lives Matter leader Shaun King announced Tuesday he is boycotting the National Football League for allegedly blacklisting Colin Kaepernick.

Kaepernick, who started a nationwide trend with his controversial decision to kneel during the pre-game national anthem to protest racial injustice in America, has not been signed by an NFL team since he opted out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March.

I cant, in good conscience, support this league, with many of its pro-Trump owners, as it blacklists my friend and brother Colin Kaepernick for taking a silent, peaceful stance against injustice and police brutality in America, King wrote in the Daily News. Its disgusting and has absolutely nothing to do with football and everything to do with penalizing a brilliant young man for the principled stance he took last season.

King said Kaepernick remains unsigned because ofracism, bigotry and discrimination.

"As a leader in the Black Lives Matter Movement, as a voice in the resistance to Donald Trump, and as a friend of Colin Kaepernick, I cannot, in good conscience, support the NFL any longer. If I did, I'd struggle to look my own son in the eyes or look at myself in the mirror," King concluded.

On "Fox & Friends" this morning, Star Parker, founder and president of The Center for Urban Renewal and Education, argued that NFL teams are staying away fromKaepernick because they don't want to deal with the drama surrounding him.

She said King has a right to boycott the NFL, since we live in a free society.

"However, that said, what we cannot allow to happen is ourselves reduced to mob rule, which is what Black Lives Matter's all about," Parker said. "We battle in the voting booth in a free society."

"Black Lives Matter needs to just get off of the political stage and go about their business [and] lives, and then get out to the polls the next time if they really want Democrats in control."

(ThyBlackMan.com)The plight of African Americans were put on the worlds stage by the group Black Lives Matter. It seems their mission is based on justice for those who are harassed and mistreated by police, which is an admirable endeavor to pursue. Those who support the organization say the organization is about curbing violence against black and brown people.

A former Chicago Police Superintendent, however, says that crime has become greater since Black Lives Matter began to take root in this country.

Who can contest that statement? Ever since BLM has come on the scene to protest police brutality against African Americans, America has become more separate than ever, All Lives CANT Matter, police have been on the defensebut black on black crime is never ceasing, especially in Chicago.

Does Black Lives Matter think that bullying the country will get them what they desire?

On a website (there were a few websites dedicated to BLM) regarding the policy demands from Black Lives Matter there were demands that ranged anywhere for a demand for reparations for past and current harm doing, to the demand for investing in black peoples education, health and safety of black people.

The Black Lives Matter organization is a great way for blacks to come together and brainstorm on how to better their community, but my question is, Why havent these changes taken place long before there was a Trayvon Martin?

Why does the government have to help the black community, when,a s the website says, theres strength in numbers? If there are thousands of BLM supporters, why not have them to make the changes tot heir community that they desire? Its like an HBCU approaching the government for funding for a school built for and by black people. Whats wrong with doing it yourselves, if the whole point of protesting and writing about potential policy changes are to empower blacks to rise up and be more self-sufficient and independent of a government that keeps them marginalized?

Another statement that caught my eye on the website was regarding the decriminalization of criminal activity, because apparently, we all know blacks just cant stay away from the thug life, so why not make it okay for blacks to do what they so value?

Whatever is of value, including values, are desecrated by those in the community, and its always made known public that thats how we communicate with one another.

Human beings have value, but all that is seen and heard from the black community in conversation, song and media is derogatory to the point where its commonplace to feel comfortable calling blacks niggas, bitches, hoes, dogs, sluts, thots, anything but man or woman.

Black women, the heads of the majority of black households, publicly call each other bitch yet demand apologizes for what they consider racism, cultural appropriation and being marginalized in society.

Black men still dont care about individualism or ceasing the glorification of crime and street life to the youth as the normal way to grow up as a black man.

Because theres been generations of dysfunction and a lack of a moral code, the black community has set its standards to match their own more code theyve grown accustomed to which is unhealthy, and in some cases, evil..the lesser power.

My worry is that this whole Black Lives Matter movement will end just like the black panthers movement, with the whole organization crumbling down due to dysfunction and (hopefully not) illegal activityand for not cleaning their house before opening the door and telling everyone to look what damage was done to them.

The black community is the home of black people. Lets clean it up so it doesnt look like the majority of African American neighborhoods. Were trying to prove a point, right?

One of the activists have already been arrested for felony lynching, ironically.

Time will tell.

A firefighter in Eureka, Calif., has filed a grievance with the Joint Powers Authority, the governing body of the Humboldt Bay Fire agency, after he was forced to remove a Black Lives Matter pin from his uniform shirt.

Matt McFarland is a second-generation firefighter, and he told KRCR that he wore the pin from November until March, when Chief Bill Gillespie ordered him to remove it.

According to Humboldt Bay Fires uniform policy, one pin that is fire-service related and in good taste may be worn.

McFarland said that his pin meets that standard.

My pin is without a doubt related to my service as a firefighter because recent political events have created an environment of heightened fear and anxiety among communities of color, and increased distrust of law enforcement. This sentiment is highly detrimental to our ability, as emergency responders, to do our jobs well, McFarland said.

McFarlands attorney said in a statement that banning the pin creates a significant liability for the department because it constitutes unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.

A public hearing on the grievance will take place Wednesday morning at Eureka City Hall.

McFarland plans to have a press conference directly before the hearing.

Calif., Firefighter Files Grievance to Be Allowed to Wear 'Black Lives Matter' Pin - The Root

2017-04-26 Step 3 Grievance_20170606123410

Second generation Eureka firefighter Matt McFarland has filed a grievancewith the Humboldt Bay Fire's governing body, the Joint Powers Authority, due to being ordered to remove a 'Black Lives Matter' pin on his uniform shirt.

McFarland began wearing the pin in November 2016 and said in March of this year he was ordered by Chief Bill Gillespie to remove the pin.

Humboldt Bay Fire's uniform policy states that one pin that is fire service related and in good taste, may be worn.

McFarland states that his pin meets policy standards.

My pin is without a doubt related to my service as a firefighter because recent political events have created an environment of heightened fear and anxiety among communities of color, and increased distrust of law enforcement. This sentiment is highly detrimental to our ability, as emergency responders, to do our jobs well," said McFarland.

McFarland further explained why wearing the pin is important to him.

Nobody is safe when a large portion of our community is reluctant to engage with emergency services when these services are needed. We can choose to continue to deny or ignore the difficult experiences of the people suffering most in our communities or we can choose to listen to them, believe their lived experiences, and work together to improve the systems we share. I believe that this is a discussion worth having, and I want to live in a community that is courageous enough to have these conversations, even when they are messy, uncomfortable, and imperfect.

McFarland's lawyer said in a statement, A ban on Black Lives Matters pins exposes the District to significant liability because it constitutes unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.

The Joint Powers Authority board members will meet on Wednesday, June 7, at 10:00 a.m., at Eureka City Hall for a public hearing on the grievance. McFarland will hold a press conference directly before the hearing around 9:30 a.m. You can read the entire grievance by clicking the link at the top of this article.
