CNN’s Don Lemon debated Black Lives Matter on his show Monday night with Actor Terry Crews. During the exchange Lemon wondered why Crews kept mentioning black-on-black violence in America.
Crews had pointed out that there were more than two dozen African-American children killed in U.S. by African-Americans over the last several weeks and that the Black Lives Matter movement has been silent about it.
“What does that have to do with equality though?,” responded Lemon. The debate was “apples and oranges,” he said.
Crews has been harshly criticized by the left for saying there has to be a non-racial component to the Black Lives Matter. He has also said that there were also some militant voices within BLM that African-Americans need to be aware of.
Are all white people bad?
No.
Are all black people good?
No.
Knowing this reality- I stand on my decision to unite with good people, no matter the race, creed or ideology.
Given the number of threats against this decision-
I also decide to die on this hill.

“When you have the leaders of the black lives movement who are now talking about…if we don’t get our demands we’re gonna burn it down, other black people who are talking about working with other whites and other races, they’re being viewed as sellouts or called Uncle Toms, you start to understand that you are now being controlled,” Crews said.
Crews said the Black Lives Matter movement needs to be further scrutinized. “When you look at the organization, police brutality is not the only thing they’re talking about,” he said.
We’ve been reporting for weeks that African-Americans are beginning to question the BLM movement and what their true agenda is.
