The left loves to use words and phrases to control the masses. It’s part of their whole politically correct Marxism agenda.
If you don’t “say” certain KEY words that they deem are appropriate, you’re somehow part of the problem.
That’s exactly what’s happening now with “Black Lives Matter.” If you don’t bow to the mob (literally) or utter the words “Black Lives Matter” you are a racist who hates black people.

It’s patently absurd, but this is just another form of “crowd control” that the left uses to gain a hold over society.
But try as they might – and they’re trying really hard – they can’t break VP Pence.
There’s a curious new phenomenon in which, if you don’t say that “black lives matter,” you’re part of the problem.
Philadelphia ABC affiliate sprang this question on Vice President Mike Pence during an interview Friday. The subtext, of course, was that if Pence didn’t say it, he didn’t believe black lives actually mattered.
Pence didn’t take the bait.
“Let me just say that what happened to George Floyd was a tragedy,” Pence told WPVI-TV in Philadelphia on the question of saying “black lives matter.”
“And in this nation, especially on Juneteenth, we celebrate the fact that from the founding of this nation we’ve cherished the ideal that all, all of us are created equal, and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. And so all lives matter in a very real sense.”
WPVI anchor Brian Taff continued to try to get those three words words out of him.
“Forgive me for pressing you on this, sir,” he said, “but I will note you did not say those words, ‘black lives matter,’ and there is an important distinction.”
“People are saying, of course all lives matter, but to say the words is an acknowledgment that black lives also matter at a time in this country when it appears that there’s a segment of our society that doesn’t agree,” Taff said. “So why will you not say those words?”
Pence was unruffled.
“Well, I don’t accept the fact, Brian, that there’s a segment of American society that disagrees, in the preciousness and importance of every human life,” Pence said. “It’s one of the reasons why, as we advance important reforms in law enforcement, as we look for ways to strengthen and improve public safety in our cities, we’re not going to stop there.
You can’t stump the Pence.
He gets it. He sees what the left is doing and he wants no part of it.
Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group. The founder has proudly declared she’s a “trained Marxist.” Why would anyone declare loyalty to a communist organization?
Good for him. Now, we just need to get the other GOP weaklings on board.
