In an interview on NBC, filmaker Spike Lee claimed that Americans don’t care about the massive amounts of gun violence because its “not Sandy Hook.”
While Spike Lee attempts to spin Americans’ lack of interest in Chicago by insinuating that no one cares because those who are dying aren’t innocent, young, white, schoolchildren, he’s totally ignoring those who are ignoring the violence in Chicago.
While most of America is pointing toward Chicago as proof that gun-free zones don’t work, those who are outright ignoring the city is none other than Black Lives Matter.
The reason for this is obvious. When it comes to Black Lives Matter, black lives only matter when they are killed by white Americans. Because such a huge percentage of Chicago’s murders are black on black crime, Black Lives Matter doesn’t seem to care.

wrong, why should we it is GUN free, you must be dreaming about gun violence, cant happen there.
I am so sick of people playing the race card in every situation that arises. Spike Lee is wrong, Americans do care about gun violance, but the truth of the matter is that guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Chicago has one of the highest murder rates in the country. Why do you think that is? It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with communities who do not pull together to make change happen; i.e., better education, better home lives and parental guidence, better care of homes and landscaping, forming PEACEFUL coalitions that work as teams to better their communities. Activists should spend their time actually working to these ends instead of spending all their time blaming other people and marching, marching, marching. Marching does not solve the problems at hand. Actual hands on work, work, work solves them.
Race has nothing to do with it, I do not care because you are Democrats !
They never showed ANY bodies from Sandy Hook, ( if there really were any) and just a handful of ‘parents’. HTH do we know their race?
What he is trying to say is whites
do not care about gun violence in
Chicago, Blacks are the number
one killer of blacks, and as usual
instead of taking responsibility for
their own actions they try to blame
the white race. they can try to blame
whites, but the fact is, they are
killing each other off. The whites
are sick and tired of being
blamed for the actions of blacks
who are killing each other.
Not true. We care. Ordinary Americans who try to help are called racists because we give the issue attention. Can’t have it both ways. Stay out of your business or help…
Why don’t you ask Obama why he doesn’t address Chicago’s violence?
Spike has never been known for his great intellect, but, apparently, he is deaf & blind too. Americans are disgusted and outraged by the violence in Chicago. Spike’s heroes, on the other hand, BHO, Jesse Jackson, Sharpie Sharpton, and other assorted race hustlers couldn’t care less.
Just consider the source…..idiot….
why don’t blacks like Spike Lee care about blacks, either. Black lives don’t matter if they are killed by other blacks.
