    "Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King urged demonstrators to "tear" down Jesus Christ statues and murals because he said they are "a form of white supremacy" on Twitter"


    And all for nothing. :D

    <<Mod snip>> Shaun is worth more than most and won't sit down when he is challenged about BLM funds:
    Rather than simply refuting the critics, King soon turned to legal threats that were notable to other activists because of whom King singled out: young, black and, in at least two cases, queer writers and activists.

    “If you have posted publicly that I have ever spent or stolen a single penny I’ve raised for families in this movement, I am opening a legal case against you,” King tweeted Wednesday.

    This thread is about BLM, not Antifa


  • Registered Users Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    It's difficult to know where Antifa end and and BLM starts sometimes. They interact with and support each other.
    If local mods like I can start a thread about Antifa but the last one got locked.

    Who is this below, Antifa or BLM, or just general bike rioters in NYC?

    Why don't they let the "homeless" live in their homes, or their paretns?

    If it's anything like the experience of the occupation in Dublin when Glen Hansard and Christy Guevara turned up for, or the anarchist squats in Grangegorman and Parnell Street it won't be long before the brats are calling for the pigs to save themselves from the rapists, muggers and junkies they thought they were going to save :)

    And you're racist if you don't vote for this.


    It's funny because she herself would end up on the register as she called a black person "coon" and made threats to a black man.
    But I assume it's one rule for her and another for others.

    did any of the BLM protesters in kanosha who set on fire buildings with people (including children) in them, face any charges?
    The media described the events as "mainly peaceful" by the way, the same media who plastered yesterdays front pages with the images of Capitol city riot

    We need more people speaking up about this nonsense

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p093kxcw
    Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor has explained his decision not to take a knee before games and strongly criticised the Black Lives Matter campaign.

    "My support for what is that we're trying to achieve is absolute, but I do not support Black Live Matter as an institution or organisation," he told BBC Radio Nottingham

    "I would request anyone looks into Black Lives Matter to look into what that organisation does and what they stand for because it's scandalous that the world and the world's media has got behind Black Lives Matter.

    "Not the message; of course black lives matter. [But] standing behind Black Lives Matter and all the institutions that have done that - the BBC, Sky, all of them saying Black Lives Matter - it's not a good idea because of what the organisation stands for.

    "The message overall is 100% important, don't get me wrong on that... In terms of black lives actually mattering and black people being killed by police more frequently, that's not a good thing.

    "Black lives do matter, but you'll never hear me say Black Lives Matter again in reference to that company."

    The 30-year-old Taylor, who is mixed race, also questioned whether society is becoming too politically correct.

    "You have some people saying you can't say black," he said. "You can't say mixed race because it's now dual heritage. No, no. I'm mixed race. My mum is white and my dad is black.

    "He's black, not 'coloured'. My mum is white not, I don't know, 'beige'. The problem is the words we use and which words we can use.

    "We get told you can't say certain words so often. I don't want to be called dual heritage.

    "Are we going the same way as people choosing their pronouns? Saying I don't want to be called he or him, I want to be it or they or them.

    "Are we maybe missing the point? I wouldn't disagree. Maybe we're a bit too politically correct where people are hanging on you making a mistake.

    "If you say a word in an interview you are waiting for someone to be offended. That's the issue. Everyone wants you to be offended, especially us in the public eye, or you writing these pieces, people want to be able to say, 'Oh I'm outraged now.'

    "I can now say what I want to say. No you can't, just get on with it."

    Chanelle Helm is cofounder and core organizer of Black Lives Matter Louisville.
    Here are her 10 demands of white people.

    https://www.leoweekly.com/2017/08/white-people/
    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.

    BLM fun fact

    Thousand Currents that sponsors BLM has had a convicted terrorist on the board.
    The person, Susan Rosenberg, was convicted for several domestic bombings.

    One of the places bombed - United States Capitol Building.

    What's True
    Susan Rosenberg has served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement. She was an active member of revolutionary left-wing movements whose illegal activities included bombing U.S. government buildings and committing armed robberies.

    What's Undetermined
    In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

    So, bombing U.S. government buildings doesn't fit the universally-agreed definition of terrorism. I knew they were woke, but holy sht.

    One is calling for fair treatment of all people at the hands of the group hired specifically to 'protect and serve', the other is trying to overturn a legitimate election.

    So I'm not sure how you can think these 2 things are comparable.

    The problem with that statement is that a number of BLM leaders in various jurisdictions have been making racist anti white statements and have made their hatred for white people clear for all to see as well as encouraging violent conduct.

    Neither side can claim the moral high ground, so the original statement has merit.

    Glazers Out!

    Yet the group calls itself "Black Lives Matter" and not "Reform the Police" :confused:
