Do you believe Black Lives Matter has improved race relations?

[Anonymous]

I personally think it’s only set us back and has caused more much long term damage that will ironically harm black people much more in the long run.

Yes

No.

Also notice I purposely put “YES” as option number one. You know why I did that? To be fair. People tend to select the first option when they are borderline (pollster trick). But I did it to be fair despite firmly believing the correct answer is option 2.

No liberal white people made it worst to push their political agenda and use black people as a shield to push Communism.

If they really cared don't you think joe biden would have done something for them already.

Other than make a fake ass holiday a thing. That nobody knew about til last year

BLM isn't even about race as much as it's about communism. People think they are supporting civil rights, but really they are supporting "trained marxists" who want to "destroy the nuclear family". People need to stop blindly following groups without doing their research.

No they made up much worse but that was their goal all along.

Between obama and blm race relations in America are back to where they were in 1800, I no longer give a cobblers damn about black people, black poverty, racism, inequality, none of it, fuck em, they can sink or swim on their own.

Only a retard would think they've done nothing but cause damage and destruction to society.

[Asker]

I guess there are lots of “retards” out there then.

But go ahead and keep supporting the “movement”. BLM cofounder Patrisse Cullors would really like to by another million dollar home. Such an excellent leader especially since she’s a self described trained Marxist and socialist all the while raking in millions.

[MCheetah]

This is a typo. I's supposed to say "Only a retard would think that; as they've done nothing but cause damage and destruction to society." I hate trying to use this site on mobile.

To be clear, I DON'T support BLM. I hate them, in fact.

[Asker]

Oh no worries man lol. All good.

Right when BLM started I knew it would eventually implode. It’s already starting to happen.

[MCheetah]

Yeah, most "political movements" in the modern day start off with "good intentions" before eventually being hijacked by the extremists. That's why groupthink and cult-like behavior is dangerous; because some people can't separate ideas from ideologies, and need some kind of identity to make up for their lack of being interesting, talented, intelligent, or likeable.

[Asker]

Exactly. The reality is they have their own shortcomings (either by circumstance or just shitty personal decisions) but they are too stupid and selfish to be self accountable. It makes them feel better if they got someone else to blame.

[goaded]

I think it's brought the conversation out into the open more, which is a good thing, long-term.

[Asker]

Yes a conversation that is really thinly veiled communism.

[goaded]

Yes, not hating people because of the colour of their skin is exactly the same as communism.

[Asker]

Virtually nobody in the United States albeit a remote bunker of 12 white supremacists in a bunker in remote Idaho wants Jim Crowe again. That movement has been dying and has been continuing towards extinction for the last 3 decades (as it should).

And don’t tell me the Derek Chauvin case was an example of white racism. Do I think it was right for Chauvin to be charged and put away? Yes. But there was zero evidence that crime was racially motivated by hate. None. That was NOT brought up during his trial. And yes the left virtually universally assumed it was solely about race.

Democrats are bringing racism back on purpose because it’s a perfect smoke screen for what they really want: power and communism. The co-founder of BLM Patrisse Cullors openly stated back in 2015 that “we are trained Marxists”. The organization has made over 90 million dollars and fucking Cullors bought a $1.3 million dollar house with it.

I’m not falling for this bullshit and unless you want communism you shouldn’t either.

[Snakeyes7]

I think race relations got worse since BLM spawned.

[OddBeMe]

Based on right wing posts, they’ve raised conversations about race. Which is good.

[Asker]

Right ring people “started” conversations on race?

[OddBeMe]

No, BLM.

[Anonymous]

No, but that's not the point of it. They've rocked the boat - rightly or wrongly.
