Quiet as it's kept, not all Black people are down with the Black Lives Matter movement. One reason is some are questioning why the Black life that matters only seem to be the Black lives taken by the police, but not the Black lives taken by other Blacks.
Case in point:
Peggy Hubbard, an Illinois mother, has a message for the #BlackLivesMatter movement and she took to Facebook to voice her concerns.
In a video posted to her Facebook page, Hubbard said she believes that the outrage shown toward the Aug. 19 St. Louis police shooting and subsequent protest over 18-year-old Mansur Ball-Bey, whom she calls a "thug," was misdirected. She compares the community's concern over Ball-Bey's shooting with the lack of outrage about the fatal shooting of 9-year-old Jamyla Bolden Aug. 18. Jamyla was shot in the chest while she sat inside her Ferguson, Mo., home finishing her homework. Jamyla was killed by a stray bullet believed to have been fired during a drive-by shooting.
"Last night, who do you think they protested for? The thug, the criminal, because they’re howling, 'Police brutality,'" Hubbard asked during her rant posted Aug. 20 and which has been viewed some 4 million times. "Are you kidding me? Police brutality? How about black brutality? A little girl is dead. You say black lives matter? Her life mattered. Her dreams mattered. Her future mattered. Her promises mattered. It mattered."
You’re hollering this ‘black lives matter’ bullshit. It don’t matter. You’re killing each other. White people don’t care … You’re shooting at the police. They drop your ass. ‘Oh, he died due to police brutality.’ 327 homicides later y’all want to holler police brutality? Black people, you’re a fucking joke. You’re tearing up communities over thugs and criminals.
Hubbard served in the Navy, according to her Facebook page, and is a straight shooter who currently lives in Illinois, but is originally from St. Louis. In the video, she notes that a single mother raised her and that she currently has a son in prison whom she turned into the police:
Let me tell you something. I got a kid locked up. Oh yeah, I put him there. I turned his ass in. Yes I did because I'm a strong black woman. I am a black mother. I told my children that if you fuck up, if you go to jail, I am not getting you out. You will stay there. You will do the time. I'm not putting nothing on your books, I am not coming to visit you. I ain't sending you magazines. I'm not doing shit for you because I did everything I could for you out here and yet you chose to go in there. Fuck you…..
If you don’t care about me and your father working and putting in time and effort to raise you and be there for you. And we took note of everything you were interested in. And yet your stupid ass ends up in there. Then you belong in there. Don't drop the soap. That is what I told my son.
Peggy Hubbard is getting both praised and roasted on social media. Over the weekend, close to 7 million people watched Hubbard ripping the Black Lives Matter movement in an emotional video posted to her Facebook page. 71,000 people liked the post. 16,000 people left comments.
She's also a trending topic on Twitter:
Personally, I'm all for broadening the discussion of which BlackLivesMatter and which ones don't. I'm not all-in for how Hubbard framed the debate, but it's a healthy thing to finally be able to have one.
A Black Mother versus #BlackLivesMatter

- #PeggyHubbard video was filled with 3% truth 97% Self Hate. When racists say they got black friends, Peggy Hubbard is that black friend.
- #AllLivesMatter finally found a Black person to repeat the Black on Black crime argument. #PeggyHubbard is about to get paid.
- Why black folks so mad that #PeggyHubbard spitting knowledge. Her points are VERY valid.
- If #PeggyHubbard keeps this up she can get a nice trip to the GOP convention. Being a model Negro has its perks.
- she is so on point it's scary. Never seen such an epic schooling. (#PeggyHubbard )
- I agree with #PeggyHubbard, #BlackLivesMatter needs to go beyond police brutality! All forms need to be addressed!
Personally, I'm all for broadening the discussion of which BlackLivesMatter and which ones don't. I'm not all-in for how Hubbard framed the debate, but it's a healthy thing to finally be able to have one.
