‘Black Lives Matter’ — White Judge Says It In Court, Now Police Want His Job [Video]

Black lives do matter, and Judge James Robart spoke it in court. However, some police officers want his job for it.

Here’s a taste of American hypocrisy. College rape suspects are okay, but when a judge admits that black lives do matter, he “should be impeached”?

‘Black Lives Matter’ — May the Court Gasp

United States District Judge James Robart, in Seattle, voiced his thoughts toward the end of a police reform hearing.

According to Seattle Times, the hearing covered sensitive topics such as excessive force and biased policing.

So, by the end, Judge James Robart was a bit emotional concerning the blatant disregard for black lives during apprehension and police situations.

Simply put, Judge Robart said aloud, “Black lives matter,” elaborating further regarding the aforementioned issues.

Consequently, you could hear the courtroom go into gasps as if Robart had cursed God’s name or something.

Robart notes that 41 percent of these police shootings involve black lives, even though they make up 20 percent of Seattle’s population.

And, it’s definitely not because black lives are more violent.

The Inquisitr reported the differences in the recent apprehensions of Paul O’Neal (black) and Cody Gallamore (white), as example, for the same situation.

Have Black Lives Mattered?

America would probably be more comfortable actually cursing God’s name than accepting the real meaning behind the phrase “black lives matter.”

Why?

Acknowledging “black lives matter” for its real essence would mean that America mandates a long, honest look into this country’s history — confronting past to present all the years that black lives had not mattered to most white Americans, the fabric of the judicial system, or prison industrial complex.

So, instead of acknowledging the message, America flips it and slaps a label on it.

‘Just a Bunch of Terrorists’

If you’re black in America, most of the country pretends like it doesn’t realize what “black lives matter” means.

Rather, many U.S. citizens affiliate it as a domestic terrorist organization — which is utterly insulting to the black community and all civil rights efforts.

This can be seen by this nonsensical petition via We The People.

While, ironically, a “white lives matter” voice starts, and no one thinks it’s affiliated with a terrorist group — even though its headlined by the same people who endorse white supremacy.

That’s the difference.

“Black power” has never meant the same as “white power.”

“Black lives matter” doesn’t mean the same as “white lives matter.”

The Confederate flag is a symbol of the idealism the South stood for in the Civil War — which was what? You can answer that one.

Neither of these black movements instigate “supremacy.” It’s always been equality. Equity.

But, the former of the white movements is well-known as a supremacy movement. And, admit it or not, the latter is headed by the same individuals.

Just like the Civil Rights Movement has morphed into “Black Lives Matter,” it seems that the white supremacy movement is morphing into “White Lives Matter.”

So, if you understand the Civil Rights Movement and know that it wasn’t about terrorism or superiority, what’s so hard to understand about it now?

Looks familiar, right?

Likewise, if you understand the white supremacy movement and know that it was/is about terrorism and superiority, why do your ignore its new name?

Did you know that white Americans, during the civil rights movement, also thought it was a domestic terrorist coup? According to Daily KOS and the U.S. Embassy, many white Americans reacted the same as several are presently responding to “Black Lives Matter.”

See, if you don’t know or learn from your history, it’s doomed to repeat itself. Have you heard that before?
