Finally, some clarification from the CNN oracle, Don Lemon, on why the “Black Lives Matter” movement has been mum on all the tragic deaths of young children of color over the Fourth of July weekend around the nation. In a revealing conversation with Actor Terry Crews, Lemon made it clear that not all black lives lost to violence are part of BLM’s mission statement, just those taken by police.
At least six children were killed in shootings across the country over 4th of July weekend, police say.
The children, ages 6 to 14, were all shot and killed while doing everyday things — riding in mom’s car, walking in a mall, and playing in a yard with their cousins.
A 7-year-old girl in Chicago, an 8-year-old girl in Atlanta, and a 6-year-old boy in Philadelphia were among those killed in a spate of shootings over the holiday weekend. Dozens of people were wounded in cities around the U.S.
