Twice in the past week, during the course of conversation with other individuals the situation with Black Lives Matter came up. There was a lot that I tried - and failed - to convey, for various reasons.
But as it turns out, I really didn't have to try, because a mind far better than my own accomplished it with more weight and consideration than I could muster.
I have long been an admirer of Dr. Thomas Sowell. His is an enormous intellect and our culture is more the better because he has chosen to share it with us for quite awhile now. And it is this time which, I believe, his words are worth considering more than ever before. A few days ago on his YouTube channel there was a video posted consisting of various clips of Dr. Sowell discussing the Black Lives Matter movement, along with its intellectual and philosophical underpinnings. He consistently backs up his position with facts and citations, and over the course of eight minutes lays down his case. That being: Black Lives Matter is destroying as opposed to leading to anything positive for the black American community. And it is tearing apart our culture as a whole.
Here's the video. It's well worth your time to watch.
