BLM Manifesto Discussion

Danzy

They ask for some reasonable things and then throw in as much insane requests as they can.

Just so they can not achieve them and can keep going.

Getting what they want is the worst thing that could happen to them.

Latest demands from seattles protesters, some seem abit dare i say racist. Dont know how they will retrial offenders since they want to abolish the court system, not the sharpest tools in the box it must be said.

Given the historical moment, we’ll begin with our demands pertaining to the Justice System.
1. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.

2. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely. No guns, no batons, no riot shields, no chemical weapons, especially against those exercising their First Amendment right as Americans to protest.

7. We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community.

13. We demand the abolition of imprisonment, generally speaking, but especially the abolition of both youth prisons and privately-owned, for-profit prisons.

We also have economic demands that must be addressed.
3. We demand free college for the people of the state of Washington, due to the overwhelming effect that education has on economic success, and the correlated overwhelming impact of poverty on people of color, as a form of reparations for the treatment of Black people in this state and country.

Related to economic demands, we also have demands pertaining to what we would formally call “Health and Human Services.”
1. We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients.

Is that not essentially "we demand to be free to commit as many crimes as we want, without the fear of repercussions"

The gangs would take over the area, then WWIII would break out between them as they fight for control and territory. It would be a nightmare for the public.

But anyone that speaks up against it is instantly labelled a racist.

Just as anyone who calls out Israel's heavy handed tactics against Palestinians is an anti-semite.

That is not a "Manifesto" for "Black Lives Matter"

It's a Manifesto for The "Movement for Black Lives" ("M4BL")- which seems to be an organisation that is independent of BLM

Id say its very much in the territory of the People's Front of Judea

It used to be racism to treat people differently because of the colour of their skin.
Now it's racist not too.

Leftists, is there anything they can't do?

Yup. Guess the OP didn't read properly the topic of his outrage. Title and the content totally disconnected.

THat's a good one. No police, and take away pensions from good cops won't cause an outrage

2. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely. No guns, no batons, no riot shields, no chemical weapons, especially against those exercising their First Amendment right as Americans to protest. So if a citizen with a gun wants to kill a policeman, they've no defense. The no guns is fine in a gunless society, not in the US

7. We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community. Guess they're not paying the taxes for those retrials

13. We demand the abolition of imprisonment, generally speaking, but especially the abolition of both youth prisons and privately-owned, for-profit prisons. For profit is grand, not youth

We also have economic demands that must be addressed.

Do black people have different bodies that means a white doctor can't operate on them. If i'm going into surgery, I want the best doctor possible no matter the race, not one who only got there cos they're a minority

Basically, the above demands are mostly crap

We've established there is no BLM "manifesto"

Their current activities and racism are being discussed elsewhere in the forum (in a number of threads), and this thread simply causes confusion between different organisations and what their objectives are
