    A thread surrounding Black Lives Matter, It's gone far beyond Black lives mattering at this stage. Since we had a thread that spoke down to us telling us what BLM was this is a thread highlighting what they really are.


    They're Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands



    See examples from the video and the sh*te they're coming out with:

    0.26 - "Give black people their rite or we will burn this country to ashes

    1:50 - "We want to control our communities, our schools, our economics, we want access we want equity. I do not believe in equality . We do not fight for equality. Equality is a myth. We planning on advocating for a new resistance for black people in this country."

    3:34 - "If we don't get justice, this world will never see peace!"

    5:27 "**** peace! We on some Malcom **** now!"

    What they seem to want is an ethnostate provided as reparations.

    Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal, 33, faces two counts of felony arson for her role in setting ablaze two Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) vehicles on May 30. FBI identified and have captured “Floyd Arsonist”, by tracking her custom made Etsy T-Shirt. She’s Facing 80-Years in Federal Prison

    The Etsy fashionista blend didnt blend in with a peaceful protest, I don't think she got the memo.

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    In case anyone is interested the slogan was “Keep the Immigrants Deport the Racists."

    Where does she think ‘the racists’ should be deported to? And does she get to decide who is ‘racist’?

    It is racist.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure

    “In 2015, 77% of Black babies were born to unmarried mothers.”

    “Glick's research found that single parent families are twice as prevalent in African-American families as they are in other races, and this gap continues to widen.”

    Down to democratic policies of the 70s/80s apparently..

    This is a subject that fits well with the attitude of society these days. The message is that if you're not 100% on board with #blacklivesmatter then you're clearly a horrible racist.

    I think BLM is a sh*tty organisation who thrive on race baiting. If they're genuinely worried about black lives, why don't they show up to protest when thousands upon thousands of young black men are killing each other every year?

    Instead they only pop up when there is a high profile murder of a black person by a white person. They organise mass protests, which are often accompanied by mass riots and looting.


    Why don't they push for real things that are tangible and realistic, like police reform or policy changes at a governmental level?

    Instead they squeal about defunding the police entirely, leaving the streets rife for rampant criminality. I have yet to hear any substantial suggestions from the BLM organisation with regards to reform or public policy.

    Why don't they try to support families in black communities?

    Instead they ignore the fact that a huge majority of black kids are growing up in single parent homes where the one parent (usually mother) has to work her ass off and just doesn't have time to dedicate to helping with education, ensuring that they're steering clear of gangs etc. Meanwhile BLM openly strive against the concept of the traditional family unit.

    Listen to Denzel Washington's views on the challenges facing black kids today. (Interview starts at 20 seconds)



    The lack of father figures is a massive issue facing these kids and BLM not only don't care, they boast about opposing the traditional western family structure.

    What is BLM's issue with the nuclear family?

    Many on that side of the fence are anti men, some believe its inherrintly homophobic for nuclear families to be normalised and some just want to excuse / perpetuate the already massive problem in the african american community of fathers being present at all.

    You might be as good as to outline what the "concept of the traditional family unit" means, just so we're all clear as to what we're refefrring to. In addition you might give a link or two to where BLM show they're against it.

    The BLM rubbish in America is hogwash. It has everything to do with rioters, looters, black people with a massive chip on their shoulders looking for excuses to blame white people for the fact they did nothing with their own lives and liberals/democrats to use the ''movement'' as a protest against Donald Trump. George Floyd's (a criminals) death only gave them an excuse.

    Quote:
    White people, here are 10 requests from a Black Lives Matter leader

    1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

    2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

    3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

    4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

    5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

    6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

    7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the **** they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

    8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

    9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

    10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

    as a side note...you have the likes of the premier league sending players out to endorse this ideology by wearing back lives matter on their shirts. its disgraceful.

    Or evidence showing they are ignorant of the issue of fatherless families - which is an utterly baffling suggestion in several respects, not the least of which being that many people who align with the movement grew up in a fatherless home.

    You’re completely wrong, but that’s okay.

    Mod: This thread started with a particular bent, and has only gotten worse as it's progressed. Post something more than a blanket statement decrying a particular movement, and I'll be more inclined to let the thread run. As it stands, thread closed.
