From CNN: Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying "All lives matter" while discussing police violence against African-Americans with liberal demonstrators.
Several dozen demonstrators interrupted the former Maryland governor while he was speaking here at the Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of liberal activists, demanding that he address criminal justice and police brutality. When they shouted, "Black lives matter!" a rallying cry of protests that broke out after several black Americans were killed at the hands of police in recent months, O'Malley responded: "Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter."
The demonstrators, who were mostly black, responded by booing him and shouting him down.
Later that day, O'Malley apologized for using the phrase in that context if it was perceived that he was minimizing the importance of blacks killed by police.
"I meant no disrespect," O'Malley said in an interview on This Week in Blackness, a digital show. "That was a mistake on my part and I meant no disrespect. I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue." http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/martin-omalley-all-lives-matter/index.html
There are so many things wrong here.
First, O'Malley was right, all lives matter but all these black liberal haters think that only black thugs who resist arrest or run from the cops, well, there lives matter most. These same liberal black leaders will not say a darn word about all the black violence in the inner cities which are killing not only black gang members but also killing the innocent Black children, the elderly and those who have nothing to do with gangs or crimes.
And no wonder O'Malley is doing so badly in the polls. He his the polar opposite of Donald Trump. While Trump is arrogant and brash, O'Malley is timid and afraid. O'Malley makes President Obama look like a Churchill or a Reagan instead of a Neville Chamberlin.
If O'Malley was elected president, can you imagine what kind of talks he would have with Vladimir Putin? Heck, we would be drinking vodka and eating Borscht within a month of his inauguration. Finally, why is he on a show named "This Week In Blackness"?
Can you imagine if a Trump or Walker was on a show named "This Week In Whiteness"?
