The problem in that situation is lack of community development and retail businesses that provide youth with programs and jobs that take away idle time. Also decent wages paid equally regardless of race would mean mom does not work 2 jobs and can spend time with her children. Last, this stereotype reflects a distorted view of black communities. Single black women with children have boyfriends and that means there are men in that childs life.It's pretty hard to generate public support for a black single mother whose unable to properly raise her kids and sees them fall into crime and violence. It's just not that dramatic and there is no clear villain except society but it's just as important if not more so.So they're saying Black Lives Don't Matter?BLM is a reminder which apparently many people chose to ignore.So, youre going to explain to them why their lives dont matter?Why are people fired and silenced for not agreeing with the Black Lives Matter agenda?
Doesn’t it seem counter to the free speech culture we should have here?
Why does someone with a different political view have to be an ENEMY?
It’s because BLM really can’t defend their agenda, so they silence all dissenters. They will not enter into an actual discussion of reality and facts.
It’s so transparent.
No, they need to explain why only select black lives matter. They lose their shit if you respond “All Lives Matter” but if you watch how BLM reacts to George Floyd’s tragic death yet ignore David Dorn’s tragic death, it is very clear that only black lives that fit an agenda matter.
“It’s important for us to also understand that the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ simply refers to the notion that there’s a specific vulnerability for African Americans that needs to be addressed. It’s not meant to suggest that other lives don’t matter. It’s to suggest that other folks aren’t experiencing this particular vulnerability.”
— President Barack Obama
Not really, even the Obama administration didn't think BLM was a viable organization:

BLM is one trick pony, convincing America that blacks lives do matter and thus inspiring people to take action. Exactly what that action is other than protesting remains undefined.
BLM is focused on a very select set of Black Lives that meet the condition of dying while in Police custody or at the hands of Police. Contrast the frequency of this occurrence with the number of Black lives lost on a daily basis to violence.
Community development and retail to provide programs?? Those that got burnt and looted may not be coming back.
