Fox and Friends: Bishop Wellington Boone
This article discusses the recent interview by Bishop Wellington Boone on “Fox and Friends”. Boone is a Black pastor who recently came out with a book in which he describes how the violence in African-American communities across the united states is a result of gang activity not because of discrimination by the police. Boone argues that the real way to deal with this violence is to look to God.
“I am in far more danger from people of my own race than from any White police.”
“instilling a sense of faith and family within black communities would help alleviate the violence.”

This article criticizes the methods of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement calling them immature and strident. It explains how the movement is intentionally leaderless so that it can be chaotic and extreme. It explains how many ‘Black Lives Matter’ protesters use evocative language and signs to try to spur on the police.
“It’s time for BLM to learn from the history of the civil-rights movement”
"BLM’s lack of structure has allowed these professional agitators to take over protests by acting like march marshals"
National Post
This article discusses the stopping of the 2016 Toronto Pride Parade by ‘Black Lives Matter’ members to protest the inclusion of police floats and stands at the event. It criticizes this protest saying that there is nothing anti-black or politically incorrect about pride. It also criticizes the response of the Pride organizers who allowed this protest instead of having the protesters forcibly removed.
“The BLM movement does nothing but judge by the colour of skin, and in their view, individual character is meaningless: to be white is to be racist and to be black is to be a victim.”
“Nobody in Pride is anti-black. Black LGBT participants have never been unsafe or excluded from a parade, and never would be.”
