Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell slammed Black Lives Matter and claimed that CNN’s Don Lemon “exposed” the group as a movement that doesn’t care about crime in urban areas.
“I want to thank Terry Crews,” Terrell told Fox News’s Sean Hannity this week in reference to an interview that actor Terry Crews gave to Lemon on Monday, which at times appeared contentious. “Black Lives was exposed last night by Don Lemon. … Don Lemon admitted it: They don’t care about crime at all in the cities [like] Chicago or any of these big cities. They don’t care about a police officer being shot and killed.”
“Don Lemon said on TV that Black Lives only cares if a police officer is involved in a shooting,” Terrell continued. “Watch the video: Black Lives is only concerned about a few individuals, and they don’t care about black lives or that 7-year-old girl in Chicago or that 6-year-old in New York. More importantly, Black Lives’s … ultimate goal is to tear down the American institution.”
Terrell joins Crews and other prominent black figures such as Marcellus Wiley, Jason Whitlock, Niger Innis, and Carol Swain in criticizing Black Lives Matter for its proponents’ behavior and messaging.
The president of Greater New York Black Lives Matter, Hawk Newsome, said last month that his movement’s goal is to “burn down this system” if “the country doesn’t give us what we want,” and the co-founder of Black Lives Matter admitted in an interview that the movement consists of “trained Marxists.”
