Do black lives matter to President Obama?

Ken Burns’ production of “Jazz” (MPBN) covers the great history of jazz in America. Jazz is a genre dominated by black musicians. What I noticed was that many black musicians were hooked on heroin and other drugs. Many dropped dead as a result of drug overdoses.

I have heard Obama say that drugs were a victim-less crime. Obama has worked to see that drug dealers receive more lenient sentences.

Chicago is a battle zone. Many murders and shootings have been committed as a result of drug wars. Many of those drugs passed through the porous southern border. FBI director James Comey has complained about the lack of response from Washington.

President Obama and the liberal left praise Planned Parenthood. Margaret Sanger, a saint of the liberal left, once thought that it would be good if black populations were kept low by legalizing abortion in the United States. Blacks have the highest abortion rate in the U.S.

Black lives in America could improve if they had more respect and value for each other.

I am just an old white guy and I know that white people could stand to improve, too.
