Rudy Giuliani Says Black Lives Matter Is Inherently Racist, Come Again?

Giuliani 2

Master statistician, Donald Trump supporter, noted bundle of racist forehead wrinkles that spreads out till infinity and former Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani has came up with some startling revelations about black people + #BlackLivesMatter. Apparently 99% of black people will die from being killed by other black people. The other one percent? Perhaps cigarette smoke. Because of this, Giuliani contends, black people shouldn't worry about police murdering you for walking down the street, white supremacy, patriarchy, inequality, institutional racism, or anything really. Just other black people. Oh, and also, #BlackLivesMatter protesters and sympathizers are inherently racist.

Here is the actual quote, "I'd also say be very careful of those (black) kids in the neighborhood, don't get involved with them because son, there's a 99 percent chance they're going to kill you not the police."

I am not your son Giuliani, but as Nicki Minaj might say, it is you who is my step son. And here I was thinking I'd die of a heart attack, cancer, maybe hypertension, or a stroke. Nope, I have a nine out of ten chance of being murdered by a thirteen-year-old black boy. This is obviously not true, by any means, not even remotely close, if you couldn't sense the sarcasm in my tone.

Giuliani also says, "If I were a black father (he is most definitely fucking not, which will be fully illustrated by the upcoming remarks and nearly all the remarks he utters) and I was concerned about the safety of my child, really concerned about it and not in a politically activist sense, I would say be very respectful to the police. Most of them are good, some can be very bad and just be very careful..." Blah, blah, I'm racist, he continues. Giuliani proceeds to say a host of other racist things and will probably continue to do so forever and ever.

A few facts. Black-on-black crime, is a thing, I suppose. But so is white-on-white crime. But that's conveniently never a part of the narrative. The reason? Just taking a wild guess here: The U.S. is very segregated. Because when crimes are committed, the victim, will most likely be the race of the perpetrator. Plus, whites shoot and kill police officers at a higher rate than blacks do and that's according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The data which was recently up until May says that whites killed police officers 71% of the time.

But hey, facts, shmacts. Amirite?

Giuliani, making an appearance on Fox News early on Monday continued his unabashed and delusional racism saying, “I believe I saved a lot more black lives than Black Lives Matter.” Yes Giuliani, locking up black and brown people at ridiculous rates for broken window policies and being at the helm of a police state helped black people very much. Just ask any black person! As a young black person who lives in New York City, thank you Giuliani, from the bottom of my (according to you, murderous) heart. Giuliani also rallies against black musicians, artists and rappers saying, "They sing rap songs about killing police officers and they talk about killing police officers and they yell it out at their rallies."

If you can stomach it, and haven't had your daily dose of racism yet, watch Giuliani make the comments on the CBS program Face Of The Nation below and pray he isn't Trump's VP pick... not that it really makes a difference.
