Young political commentator C.J. Pearson is making quite a name for himself as the no-nonsense voice of tomorrow’s leaders. In a recent video on Western Journalism, Pearson explained why some black lives don’t matter to those who continually parrot the obnoxious media narrative.

In his latest video, adolescent political commentator C.J. Pearson took on the perceived hypocrisy of civil rights activists who chant ‘Black Lives Matter’ during protests but ignore the rampant black-on-black crime destroying their own community.

“If you’re a black man gunned down by another black man,” Pearson said, “no one will care. MSNBC won’t care, Al Sharpton won’t care, Jesse Jackson won’t care.”

He posited that the outrage over the deaths of black men by police is motivated more by self-interest on the part of the activists than the pursuit of justice. This hypothesis would explain the dearth of attention paid to intraracial crime.

“They don’t care because at that point you pose no benefit to them,” Pearson continued. “You’re useless because you don’t further their agenda – and we all know their agenda is to dismantle and destroy the police, isn’t it?”

Shifting focus to the aforementioned ‘Black Lives Matter’ mantra popularized through social media and by protesters in Ferguson, Mo., last year, Pearson posited that “if it was truly meant to demand equality and fight for equality, shouldn’t the hashtag be #AllLivesMatter?”

He suggested civil justice was never the true intention of those behind the recent protests and riots.

“It was meant to destroy and degrade the police,” he said.

Pearson is not the only commentator to share such a cynical view of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ rallying cry. Politico’s Rich Lowry recently penned an editorial called #SomeBlackLivesDontMatter in which he claimed“the people who use [the hashtag] as a shibboleth don’t care about black lives per se so much as scoring points against the police.”

“Now we’re facing the problem in Baltimore where arrests are down and the killings are up,” Pearson added. “How in the world can that be?”

He cited Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s perceived weakness in supporting her city’s police as a primary cause of the current crime wave.

“At the end of the day,” he concluded, “according to Baltimore, black lives don’t matter, because more black kids, little black babies, are being killed because of her inaction.”

This young man sees what appears to escape countless leftists; this “outrage” is simply a sham and an excuse to lash-out at police. If people were truly concerned about the mortality of young black men, the conversation would revolve around the epidemic of black-on-black crimes that plague our inner cities. Instead, the focus remains on bashing police and white people.
