Mike Huckabee believes that “all lives matter” ― and now the former governor of Arkansas has taken the misguided response to the Black Lives Matter movement even further astray, declaring that “male lives matter.”

In a July 9 interview with Fox News, Huckabee ― a 2016 presidential hopeful with a history of making racist and misogynistic remarks ― said: “More white people have been shot by police officers this past year than minorities.” Huckabee was referring to the conversation surrounding recent deaths of two black men Alton Sterling and Philando Castile who were both killed by cops last week.

The two men were killed within 48 hours of each other and their deaths prompted Black Lives Matter protests around the country. During what began as a peaceful protest in Dallas, Texas on July 9, five police officers were killed when a sniper shooter attacked.

In an interview on Fox News on Sunday, Huckabee referred to data collected by the Washington Post that shows out of the 990 people shot by police in 2015, 948 were men. Of those men, 494 were white and 258 were black. “If we have a shooting, we end up assuming that it had to be racial,” Huckabee lamented. “Leaders have a responsibility to keep things in perspective.”

Methinks Huck doesn't do math very well.

Closer to 1/4 than 1/2.

But hey, they're just numbers.

3. In every town in America in a Right Wing Fundie Church.

There is a really creepy guy whose hateful rhetoric makes you sick the more you listen to him. Over the years there have been many names for such lurking monsters. The best example of this self righteous evil in our time is Mike Huckabee.

Apologies to Cruz as Boner said "Cruz is the devil in the flesh.

4. Well, it's true.

The vast majority of incarcerated people are men.

The vast majority of executed people are men.

The vast majority of arrested or shot-by-cops people are men.

6. Its not white people killing most black people, so I'm not sure what your point is.

8. most whites are killed by other whites. the point is a black person killed by whites and especially

Cops is less likely to get justice.

Blacks are targeted more also .

7. Stinkabee finally comes out and says what he really things - ONLY white males matter.

9. Only the lives of rich, white, Christian, heterosexual men matter to him.

He could not care less about anyone else.
