Is this the Ray Lewis that was implicated in a murder case? The ex football player? Since Ray is living behind a buffer of celebrity I dont take what he says seriously. Obviously he doesnt understand what BLM means like lots of white people. He obviously also has no clue about the various groups and movements to curtail Black on Black violence even though they have nothing to do with the point of BLM. I wonder if people are being deliberately obtuse to deflect to another subject or they just dont get the point that BLM is pointing out the constant attack of the police on Black people?Another weak attempt to subvert the concept of BlackLivesMatter. Another fail.
Looks like Ray Lewis agrees with me.
“I’m trying to figure out if black lives really matter,” an emotional Ray Lewis said in thevideoposted on his personal page Saturday. “The March murder rate rose by 29 percent, but we’re not rioting in the streets over black-on-black crime. “I’m trying to figure out in my mind why no one is paying attention to black men killing black men,” he continued. “Why do we always find ourselves as the victims, and now we have the separation once again that we’re being victimized because of one bad white cop, two bad white cops, three bad white cops, killing a young black brother. But every day we have black-on-black crime, killing each other.
“I know black lives matter, because I’m a black man, but man, stop killing each other. Man, we got to put these guns down in Chicago. Baltimore, Miami, man it ain’t that hard. You got to be OK with earning a living. It ain’t supposed to be easy,” Mr. Lewis said. “If we don’t change what we’re doing not only will our kids not have a future, but we might find ourselves extinct.”
