Black lives are worthy to leftists to the extent that it gives them more power. The lives of black conservatives don't matter a tinkers damn to the left. Whether Ben Carson, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Mia Love, or my buddy Equiano. Far as the left is concerned they'll make just as good a lampshade me. The left didn't give a *expletive deleted*it about Michael Brown or Eric Garner, or any of the rest of them until they were dead. And they only cared as long as they could grave dance and use the occasion of their deaths to gain additional power.
