Do black lives really matter? Not according to the racists at Black Lives Matter. Ben Shapiro unlocks the truth of the BLM movement and the race-baiting Democrats who support it.
Agree. I was talking with someone on youtube and they tried to say that "I believe White or anglo - saxon people are the most Violent people in the World ...all of the European Empires throughout History Have killed more people than any Race ever...And if I'm not mistaken... who invented GUNS and WEAPONS of Mass Destruction...certainly not Blacks or Latinos...Come on MAN ...get some real education." This is his comment word for word copied. See the argument he is trying to make? He is saying that the violence going on right now is somehow sanction because white people have always been violent towards everyone else. He also says that white people created guns and WMD which means there use in violence is also sanctioned. This is the kind of false information that is spewed about and thought of as fact.
This video proves that Shapiro holds BLM to a different standard than Trump. What am I talking about, you ask? Let me explain. In an interview with Joe Rogan, Shapiro says, "why assume Trump is doing something with malicious intent when his actions could just as easily be explained as incompetence". That's not a bad idea. However he doesn't apply the same logic to the Black Lives Matter movement in this video. In this video, he says Michael Brown case shows that Brown was a thug (and deserves death). He then goes on to say that this proves that Black Lives Matter doesn't care about black lives. He assumes that they have malicious intent, even though it could just as easily be explained by incompetence. I think it's much more likely that BLM members DO care about black lives. Even if you don't agree with their methods, it's dishonest to say they don't care when all evidence suggests they do.
Hey There He never said Brown deserved death. Also, Trump's actions are not comparable to large groups of rioters, murderers of police, and gangsters who are trying to undermine the entire justice department in their local areas. You think that it's reasonable to say that it's just incompetence that makes them do that?
not so flawless when you remember that the Democrats used to be the Right-wingers and Republicans were the Left-wingers. It's nice that Shapiro is finally applauding the left, even if he's been dead for at least 100 years.
@@phuckewe178 Alan Grayson is an idiot who repeatedly spews lies and strawmen about the right. His kind of angry, bombastic rhetoric is what helped normalize Donald Trump.
+Andrew Jackson Shapiro bases his arguments and facts and statistics instead of appealing to emotion and using shame tactics. I can't really see him as a subverter when all he does is speak the truth.
+Andrew Jackson yeah exactly, he was vehemently opposed against the state, which is an institution built for Jewish elites. Further proving that Jews are not politically monogamous.
I like that the black lives matter movement ignored MLK Jr's statement"I have a dream that my son will one day be judged by the content of his character, and not the color of his skin, yet, black lives matter judge people on the color of their skin, both whites and blacks
Sounds like a dumb, incoherent statment on your part. Care to elaborate? From where I stand, BLM seems to advocate that blacks be treated by the law enforcement community in a manner similar to whites. But that doesnt seem to be happening.
Arturo Martes it actually should be the opposite since whites are much more likely to be killed by cops in similar situations due to fear of being called a racist. Also BLM is worse for black people than current day KKK considering that they burn down black neighborhoods and get many cops killed.
+Andrew22 because black people are disproportionately killed more than white people. The black lives matter movement isn't advocating that black lives matter more than whites, they're advocating that all lives are equal and that black lives should be viewed within the context of "all lives matter". The idea that the black lives matter movement is irrelevant because "all lives matter" is ridiculous, because they're advocating for that.
+Luke Thomson "Black Lives Matter" insinuates that black lives matter more. Not to mention that the movement was quite literally based off of a lie. There's absolutely no reason to take that movement serious what so ever. Black people definitely are disproportionately murdered but that is definitely not indicative of systemic racism. There's absolutely no evidence of intentional racism or even unintentional racism for that matter. Like Shapiro said, and you can look this up, victim reports match arrests. There's absolutely no way victim reporting can have a big enough margin of error to debunk the point unless their was a nation wide collusion involving hundreds of millions of Americans of every color.
AJAX B Then how do you explain the large portion of UNARMED black people killed by cops? Not armed or dangerous black people, but unarmed? Also what about cops who have come up and said "oh yeah, there's definitely a problem with police allowing their cultural biases getting in the way and that there needs to be programs to help combat that"? So how isn't there a problem with racism again? The Black Lives Matter movement is fighting for things that would keep the community safer, not just black people. At the top of my head, I can think of demilitarization; cops don't need to be that heavily armed and it's uneasy seeing them like that and the structuring of training so cops are more educated in deescalation and not so heavily in firearm training. So yeah, remind me, how is the black matter movement bad? Even if they were based on a lie (Which they're not) they're advocating for positive change.
AJAX B So you're against demilitarizing the police force then? You like that police stations get tanks? And high powered assault rifles which the military get to use? If you're against that then you should support black lives matter. Are you against further deescalation training? You know, the thing that makes it so situations don't get any worse than what they already are? If you're for deescalating training then you should support the black lives matter movement. You're saying that white people get shot more than blacks? That's why we say "disproportionately" because the level of black population is way smaller than whites, but blacks still get imprisoned and shot heaps. Also, how dare you go to the "black on black crime is so much worse defence" Yeah black on black crime is hugely problematic and I think it should be discussed and more funding should be funneled into programs to combat that, such as education programs. BUT! We're talking about gangs killing people, not state funded police officers who's job it is to protect the community, not kill people. The fact is the black lives matter movement is fighting for something important and the wider community will benefit from it.
I’m at the point where I don’t want my kids to be living in a multi society. They will just be arbitrarily accused of bigotry. Well done ‘woke leftists’. You are doing a great job!
Good video, but I was disappointed that you didn't mention that the Black Lives Matter movement is driven by the same ideas of the Black Panther Movement of the 1960s.
edding8400 Black Panthers were infiltrated with agents through COINTELPRO to dissipate positive traction and divide and conquer. BLM may have been compromised from the jump. Is it a true grassroots ORG?? Some believe it is not. George Soros has funded Black Lives Matter. Many question the true motives of BLM outside of surface level attention seeking.
***** So Huey and other BPP should of just bowed down to capitalists and white supremacy. They had white America shook. Reagan was quick to sign that Mulford Act. Whether you agree with their ideologies or not they were for justice by any means.
***** It wasn't about integration it was about protecting black communities from white supremacy. Civil Rights Movement people were trying to integrate. No problems?? Lynchings, castrations, burnings, rapes, murders, bombings of Black men, women and children. Black Wall St Massacre happened during that period because they had no protection from white supremacy. Black people had the financial means to protect themselves but they had to stand up for themselves. You are giving communists and their ideologies way to much credit. Black and white people have always been around each other...all we did was integrate our money. So we lost what ownership we had in black communities. That wasn't because of the Black Panthers or their so called ties with socialism. That was on the Civil Rights movement and those who fell for Feminisim.
Ben Shapiro: Says it was insane of Clinton to call Sanders a racist and says he would never do that in his interview on the Rubin Report. Calls Sanders a racist in this video.
***** Did you not read my comment? I said it was in his interview with Dave Rubin on the Rubin Report. You should watch it. It is for sure in the full interview and im guessing (though not 100%) you can find it in the shorter one titled "Ben Shapiro on donald trump, bernie sanders and hillary clinton." If you cant find it there then watch the full interview. I like Ben, but he can be a hypocrite.
Does that invalidate any of the rational or empirical points he's made?? I'm perplexed as to what your point with this comment is. I bet if you were important enough to several people where you did lots of interviews over several years, at some point you would have a statement that contradicted another one of your statements. We're human, we contradict ourselves sometimes. We know politicians do it all the time. Ben seems to be pretty solid in his views and statements though. Certainly you couldn't call him a flip flopper. So if your intent was to invalidate this video, you failed. If not, then what was the point?
I just watched a video where he said he would call Bernie Sanders a lot of things, but he would never call him a racist. Yet...he just called him a racist at the end of this video.
I need more facts from this, not saying he's wrong.. just saying he made a lot of statements without citing where that information was coming from for a lot of this.
Me: "Please tell me where you're getting this information." You: "We need show no evidence because we're clearly right, and if you disagree you're just stupid." Bigotry at it's finest.
bn2mar2div2 Entitled bitch, if you want to know something, research yourself. Dude said the names of studies. No wonder that people from US are considered to be lazy, uneducated morons.
I think I have a man crush on this guy. Why isn't there someone this articulate, honest and intelligent in the aspiring political circles here where I am in Ireland?
the amount of people that missed the point to this video is astounding...did you guys even watch it?? he's saying that black people aren't getting the protection they deserve and white democrats are to blame..he isn't saying black lives don't matter or anything of the sort, he's not even blaming black people for anything
Those statistics show a cultural cross section of people with less hope, Ben. Whilst you're right about this being a cultural issue and I also think those people flinched because Ben touched on something that they'd never thought of in that way. I read somewhere recently something like: 'the working class no longer acquiesce to the aspirations of the middle class'. It was in the context into research as to why libraries are being used less. It made me stop and think and look stuff up. The divides we see in our society are indeed cultural. The poor do want to get rich, but why aspire to be middle class? The middle class is shrinking and it's not as if they are associated with the strongly positive cultural icons identified by the working class. Sports and entertainment personalities and wearers of serious bling are all distinctly not middle class. Even in the UK (a country with a culture historically seen as embodying many middle class principles), an article examining the shrinking of the middle class said: 'Children will no longer grow up watching their deposits grow...and will struggle to understand the point of delayed financial gratification... Instead, we seem to be nurturing a winner-takes-all economic model - middle-class children can be forgiven for adopting the ‘get rich or die trying’ ethos of gangster rappers. They grow up pinning their hopes on the scratchcard, the rollover jackpot or The X Factor'. Given that black people are proportionally experiencing more of the fiscal divide across US society, could BLM be written as PLM? Poor lives matter. But the rich can respond 'yes, but not as much as mine'. What then is BLM? It's not perhaps something that we should be more than aware of, rather something that the sort of educated black people who become involved in this kind of movement can use as a platform to be seen as positive cultural icons, who's level of education is seen as something to be aspired to. As an outsider looking in, I see Ben is right about those murder statistics, but I think BLM could be something much more important and positive than it currently is, perhaps profoundly so.
In psychology we consider you to be at the "Contemplation Stage" of change. You have probably been in denial up until now, but now that you have been presented with solid rationalism, you are beginning to accept the fact that you have denied good, credible information up until now. You've begun your journey to join reality, good job.
Anthony Ta I understand that you put the disclaimer but I'ma have to correct you anyways. Jews are an ethnic group, and it's is rare for you to convert to being a Jew since you are usually born into that religion.
I don't think the lack of police presence can be directly attributed to democratic policy. You are equally race baiting by calling the democrats racist. The problem is with the police departments themselves. They are overburdened in urban areas and less inclined to police Urban neighborhoods. Police tend to treat black people unfairly in these areas due to the high presence of crime. Democrats are calling for more oversight of police to increase safety of both the officers and citizens. I know that it is kind of Orwellian to have everything recorded now, but if police didn't abuse their power and fail to prevent crime on a mass scale they wouldn't need the oversight.
Well, democrats create the issue, bring up the issues and blames someone, convinces the taxpayers to agree to paying more in taxes, then misappropriate the funds to their checking account. Nothing is actually done and crime is still the same or worse. And anybody who disagrees with their policies are racist.
I just stumbled on him on YT. He is so brilliant and intelligent. He is a great speaker on current topics. I heard of his name only 1 time and I had no clue who he is or what is so notable with him. I'm going to listen to more of his interesting videos.
Yo! Based Benny Shaps! Can we get Bill Whittle and Andrew Klavan on this channel with you. I missed Reality Check, The Revolting Truth, and Firewall with a passion. It would be so cool.
I was cool with most of this video until he said that Bernie Sanders was racist. Bernie was there for MLK's movement, where at any point in time has he been racist?
+Scott Shelbs And that makes Bernie racist? Bernie is making an observational point, and he's technically right. A large majority of white folk don't get harassed as badly as black folk, nor do we as a majority know what it's like to be poverished. I do, and you know what? The majority of the people that were poverished on my street were black families. We are priveledged as white folk, we do get better treatment in the south... By far great treatment. Compared to black people. I only started watching this guys videos because I hated the BLM group, but found out that not all BLM supporters are fucking stupid racist bigots, some are actually genuine kindhearted people trying to point out that there's a racial problem in America that was taught.
+Scott Shelbs obviously someone hasn't lived in the ghetto. I'm sure he wasn't talking about the vast majority of whites like you like to believe. Because finding everything you can to throw a nominee under the bus is the correct answer in every situation right?
I know what you mean, its kind of like when I say;, I have eaten the apple, I only mean, i simply took a bite out of the apple. So when someone goes "white people dont know" they might as well mean "some white people dont know": The words you use to express yourself are hardly important, its about the message, you fail to communicate. We shouldnt respond to what people say, we should respond to what we think they meant when they said it. We cant expect people to talk for themselves, now can we? Especially not a politicians, they are so inexperienced with public speaking.
Basically black lives matter shouldn't only care about police brutality, black on black crime is a thing, and so is police brutality but why pretty much ignore one thing when there both problems, if black lives matter then why doesn't it matter when a black person kills another black person. As for police brutality I'm aware it exist I'm sure everyone does, but doesn't it seem hypocritical when a protest against violence towards one race is acted on with violence to another race?
Aj Ortiz On their website they do recognize black on black crime in America. And they want to stop it. But using black on black crime against the blm movement is basically telling black people that since black people kill black people more than police kill black people, you have no right to get upset. i mean white people kill white people more than ISIS kills white people. but white people are still more scared of ISIS than whites. It is still a major topic among white Americans. And people are very upset when ISIS murders their people. But no one brings up well why aren't you upset when this white man kills this white man. So really the whole well black people kill black more than police kill black people is kind of irrelevant to the Black lives matter movement that right now is trying to change police brutality. P.S. don't take offence to any of this. .
Kaysha-Leigh McBurnie but black lives matter recognizes that there is black on black crime. and want to change that but they also need police help. and if police kill more unarmed blacks than unarmed whites, how can the African American community trust them? how can the African American community just care about black on black crime and not be outraged and feel sicken? do you understand what i'm saying? i understand that we have to fix black on black crime but that doesn't make police brutality less worse to the African american community. and also Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015
I really like Ben Shapiro and what he says here is correct. He is far more intelligent than I am, but I wish he wouldn't bring up the partisanship of this issue. No need to bring democrats and republicans into it, you'll still get your point across and reach more people.
I love how Shapiro plays up party labels when talking about stuff that happens 150 years ago. It's like he thinks people have forgotten that the Southern Strategy was a thing.
+Mitch Nance Stop pushing that lie called the Southern Strategy. A lie that was instigated by some unknown journalist and an editor who failed to do his job. The southern strategy was a mythical program that nixon supposedly used to convert racist democrats into Republicans, problem is there never was a southern strategy program from the Nixon camp. Search "The Southern Strategy myth"
+SJW “EGB” SJW I love how the bitches complain that the video doesn't use sources even though you can directly find official sources on the web to which the video was referring to.
+SJW “EGB” SJW wait "The good thing about youtube though is I can easily find you and your employer and just link this forward to them." you want to get someone fired for having an opinion you dislike? look, i agree that he's being a bit of a racist fuck (though he does have some good points), but holy shit, this oversensitive over-reactive bullshit is part of the reason why people don't want to be sjws
SJW SJW Translation: "Yo, this guy's being a dick on the internet? HE DESERVES TO HAVE HIS ENTIRE LIFE RUINED WIEURWJRWOU" It's like if someone went up to me and said "Asians are cancer", and in response I went "Yo, this guy just said Asians are cancer, maybe I should BURN HIS FUCKING HOUSE DOWN". It's...just... No. It's time to *STOP.*
I agree with more or less everything in this video, however I dont know if I would call Clinton or Sanders racist, I think like most people they're just misinformed.
Ben Woo The "racism" is in their policies. Like pushing for things that "help" black people." who are you talking about. are you talking about polices like a universal education system that would help everyone. are you talking about polices like a universal healthcare system that would help everyone. are you talking about polices like a universal daycare system that would help everyone. "When in reality it babies them and degrades them by saying "here we'll lower the standards so you have a fair chance against everyone else." wrong again. in reality it does help. that is why whenever a program is stopped it actually harm white people the most then they want it back but it is too late. when the standards are too high for the people who need the help the most, you do not blame and attack them for not meeting the standards when there are outside things they have no control over. I always find it funny that when people say the exact same thing as you but do not see how racist it is.
+darkstalkerknight63 where are you getting your sources. The universal healthcare system set in place is shit. Nobody likes and it has cost families more than their original plan, families lose their doctors and pay more out of pocket for a failing system. Universal education does not work. Look at what our education system ranks in the world. Common Core learning is by far the worst thing that could've happened to the education system. I've never heard of a universal daycare system. These "progressive" aka socialist policies tax the system with little to no benefit at all. The "help" I'm talking about is the social policy that the democrats push instead of family policy that republicans push. Democrats push laws that trap kids in schools without choice, give more lenient sentences to criminals, and push for more welfare. Which in the longer term negatively effects the communities in which it was supposed to help.
Ben Woo "where are you getting your sources. The universal healthcare system set in place is shit. Nobody likes and it has cost families more than their original plan, families lose their doctors and pay more out of pocket for a failing system." what are you talking about. we do not have a universal healthcare system. Obamacare is not a universal healthcare system. also wrong. people like you seem to forget a thing called inflation so the prices was going to go up anyway but it went up less thanks to the PPACA. "Universal education does not work. Look at what our education system ranks in the world. Common Core learning is by far the worst thing that could've happened to the education system." wrong again. that is not do to Universal education. I looked at our education system ranks in the world and it is that way thinks to conservatives. they oppressing it and making things worse. that is why conservatives and republicans states are at the bottom of all the lists and liberal states are at the system but over all thanks to conservatives they are pulling our ranks down. actually Common Core have shown to improve our overall ranks but again thanks to conservatives who did not put it in place we did not have a big growth overall. "I've never heard of a universal daycare system. These "progressive" aka socialist policies tax the system with little to no benefit at all." all of this shows how little to nothing you actually know. finland have things system called Maternity package which starts from well before born with a universal healthcare system. at birth, they give everything the parents would need in a box called a "'Baby Box' which have been shown to reduce baby mortality rate by more than 90%. they also give both parents a year leave off to take care of their child or children and that leads into a universal daycare system that take care of the kids while the parents work which leads into universal education system all the way though colleges. and in all of them Finland rates near the top in everything dealing with them. "The "help" I'm talking about is the social policy that the democrats push instead of family policy that republicans push." wrong again. the democrats push family policies and the republicans push shame and attack policies. "Democrats push laws that trap kids in schools without choice," wrong again. a universal education system would allow kids to go to any school they choice and be able to change schools as needed without any trouble. "give more lenient sentences to criminals," wrong. the sentences to crimes actually cause more problems and creates a system of dependents. in fact, the crimes system that have the best outcomes all over the world are liberal system where people are actually reformed. "and push for more welfare." wrong. they are pushing to get more people off of welfare by rising the minimum wage to a living wage and keep it there which would take more than 10 million to 20 millions people off of welfare programs and only left the disable, the sick, and the elderly on those programs. "Which in the longer term negatively effects the communities in which it was supposed to help." wrong. it have been proven that those programs actually benefits more. before medicare, the elderly poverty rate was around 40%. 10 years after medicare, it went down to 10%. food stamps actually been shown to create more jobs. for everyone 1 billion is spent on food stamps, 1.8 billion in benefits are created. what negatively effects the communities is when big government republicans and conservatives make laws and put things in place to make it harder for those people to get the help they need. when they put into place drug testing people who get welfare, it actually cost the states anywhere form 10 times to 100 times more money then they got back. thinkprogress.org/economy/2016/02/19/3747139/states-drug-testing-welfare-recipients/ www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2016/03/28/drug-testing-welfare-recipients-costs-outweigh-benefits-and-questions-about-treatment and that is not talking about the back pay they had to give out for the people who had to wait months before getting benefits which cost the states even more.
I honestly wish I had people like Ben within my school system. Bringing up facts such as these within a BLM discussion causes me to be precieved as a "racist" or as if I have no idea of what I am speaking about.
Ben Shapiro, you're my hero. Because I'm a conservative leaning Black American who has struggled to articulate my exact feelings on the BLM movement and you've gone and taken the words right out of my mouth. Major salute to you, brother.
Well then you're clearly an Uncle Tom because any black man who doesn't agree with the left clearly doesn't have any intelligent thoughts of his own and is only pandering to a white majority. 😂
What Shapiro neglected to point out was the fact that many of the same people who participated in Democratic Party proceedings during its conservative period (e.g. the period Ben is referring to in the video) are now, or were previously, before death, involved with the now conservative Republican party.
I would like to say that Ben Shapiro has completely changed my perspective on everything for the better, infact just a few days ago a friend of mine won $500 from an abortion speech that has been inspired by alot of what you have said, you're simply undebatable and I hope others become as influenced by you as i have.
Love you Ben, your great 👍🏻 please keep it going, we need more people like you to open the Americans eyes!!!! We have been in the dark too long!!!!!!!✝️🇺🇸😇
Ben!!!!! I hope you see this. This video is perfect. When I have a conversation with a friend or relative that is not properly informed I do my best to argue my case and a video like this is perfect for me to send them a link when they ask how I know what I know or they may ask where I get my info. Please do more like this. Maybe prolife or racist politicians (compare to trump). Please we need more
How come when I search Ben Shapiro being a racist I can't find anything ? Google says he's Alt right but I haven't found any videos of him being racist
The use of "Democrat" and "Republican" is a little misleading. Back then, the Democrats were conservative and Republicans were liberal. There was a party switch.
+TheArchsage74 But, the Democrats continue to be the party of racism. They have not given that up. The institution racism of the Democrats today is the Democratic Welfare Scam. It puts black people into economic slavery in exchange for votes. Welfare runs the man out of the home causing immeasurable harm, rewards immoral behavior, and penalizes anyone for getting a job.
ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls from 2018, there’s more recent reports but I couldn’t find them
Does anyone know where to find the sources that he is using for his numbers? Like does Shapiro have an article or something on this that is properly cited?
In an interview with Dave Rubin, Ben Shapiro called Hillary Clinton "ridiculous" for claiming that Bernie Sanders is racist, yet he himself just called Sanders a racist here. Jesus, when are people in politics ever consistent?
+Edude117 He called Hillary "ridiculous" in that instant because of the fact that she calls Bernie racist in a debate where character attacks, or ad hominem arguments, are not arguments. Hillary is doing what she always does and attacks her opponent's character to try and win support, that is why Shapiro called her ridiculous. Here, the claim that Sanders is racist is justified because of the nature of the topic. Sanders and Hillary both play the race card in a political fashion (As Shapiro said in this video "race-baiting") to win support from those races, instead of appealing to the voters in general or appealing to American values, or something other than race to take the focus off of race in American politics (which most people with a brain hate), the leading democrats continue to target certain groups and make up the evidence to try and get their support as ferociously as possible. Normally, arguments that are based upon someone'e character are a logical fallacy and are irrelevant in the larger scheme of things, but in this specific instance, it is passable due to the nature of the topic. That is why Shapiro can call Sanders a racist here and flame Hillary for the same act without being a hypocrite because (tl;dr) the situation and circumstances surrounding the charges are different (although I would like to see sources in the RU-vid descriptions or on a site somewhere).
My only issue with this (and it technically isn't even with what he's saying, really) is later on a Rubin report episode he would say "Last thing I would ever call Bernie Sanders is a racist"
+Kate Cronin If they're Democrat, they're racist. Who would ever associate with a party that associated with the KKK? If you think Obama can't possibly be racist, look up the church he went to.
Yep, Oblunder did a great job of almost bankrupting the country and Bad Ideas Bernie would finish the USA off. My daughter has lived under Socialism for 5 years in Scotland. The horror stories I could tell you about the so-called "health and dental care" would make every American wake up to the economic destruction that is Socialism.
so hey Mr. Shapiro, liked the video, is there anyway you would be willing to put the sources in the description for me, I just prefer to read the evidence for myself in case I want to site it as well
And how black people treat people of other colors asians, hispanics, whites etc. Black people are the most racist of anyone because we allow them to justify their racism and deny it exists, its pathetic
It would be helpful if Shapiro would provide citations for his assertions. Especially when you're the one producing the video it shouldn't be too difficult to add that sort of information afterwards.
