He is a Classical Liberal not a Cultural Marxist. The modern Progressive Leftist movement has hijacked the Left in America similar to the way The Moral Majority did the Right.Not in the American sense. He would not be considered Liberal if he was an American voter. He is more independent. Either way he is full of it.
No, he ignores realities.
Here's a tip for BLM, go do outreach black neighborhoods in Chicago. You might actually make a difference someday
The black on black violence thing is a red herring.
The reason the average black person is NOT marching in the streets on that issue is because it doesn't affect us. The vast majority of this epidemic of black on black violence is between rival gangs fighting over turf in the drug trade.
Plus unlike police officers who constantly get off after killing unarmed black men, if one of these young black gangbangers gets caught, he will be prosecuted and will end up in jail.
As a black man, I can avoid gang related violence by not getting involved in gang activity or not going near neighborhoods prone to gang violence. However, I can't avoid the cops no matter where I go. That is where the fear comes from. That is why the BLM movement is important.
If you folks can't understand this difference then you are just ignoring it.

I think, regardless of what race you are, if you see a stat that shows 13% of the population committing over 50% of all US homicides you surely have to agree there is a cultural crisis with that group.
Certainly police officers could use proper training and more non-lethal weapons. But you're much more like to be killed by another person of your race.
It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone.
Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.
In a 15 year span, Chicagos death toll is almost equal to that of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

So, is your solution to just pretend that the gang violence doesn't exist and doesn't destroy innocent lives?
At the rate people are getting murdered in Chicago, the gangbangers aren't getting caught. Is that because the police are inept, or are the murderers being protected by non-gang members either through family ties or fear?
Either way, it's a real problem and can't be dismissed as a "red herring" just because you don't like cops.
