Marine's Unfiltered On-Air Remarks on Race: 'It Hurts Me as a Black Man…to Tell the Truth About My Own People\

The black Marine Corps veteran who excoriated the Black Lives Matter movement in a video message over the weekend reiterated on Wednesday that he believes the movement is racist and protesters only acknowledge "when a white officer kills a black person."

"If a black person goes to kill another black person, they're going to deny it until the day they die," Michael Whaley told Fox News' Megyn Kelly. "They're not going to admit the truth. And some people don't like to admit the truth because they don't like that. It hurts me, as a black man, to have to tell the truth about my own people, but I did it because I care about my people."

"There's too much killing that's going on. And the Black Lives Matter movement only protests when a white officer kills a black person," the former Marine added.

Whaley referred to 9-year-old Jamyla Bolden, who was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri, last month while she just sitting on her mom's bed doing her homework. The man charged with her killing, 21-year-old De’Eris Brown, is black.

Whaley also referenced "all the crime" that goes on every day in Chicago.

"This violence that's going on has to be stopped. This racism that's going on has to be stopped, because black people and white people, we're not enemies," Whaley said.
