What are your thoughts on the Black Lives Matter organization? Do they really care about black lives? Are they reasonable? Mainly about power?


Would I riot in the streets and burn down a store if a family member was killed and the perpetrator didn't even go to trial? Absolutely.
Would I be morally right in this endeavor? Nope.
I'm all about police reform because I believe power needs to be put in check, and I believe the only laws that are actually real are the ones the police themselves obey.
So I was all about them when it was peaceful protests in favor of police reform.
But when they started singling out and targeting officers, and when "ACAB" became super common, I started losing interest. Like, if you are punching someone because they say you are violent, you're not really making your case.
Most of the police reforms I would want would also revolve around the idea that they are human. You don't train someone in riot control, have them see action daily, and then send them to de-escalate a tense situation. These need to be separate specialists, and "defunding the police" isn't exactly going to get you that. It's more about shifting funds away from military gear and more towards more specialists.
So like, I can certainly relate to their anger and frustration, and argue many of their points. But I can't align myself with the movement as a whole.
They are not revolutionary. Although they are correct that Black Lives do in fact matter. Which is completely opposite to the dumb fk hick redneck BS artist hoochie hillbilly morons I grew up with. So I tolerate them even if their founding leadership went corrupt. I know plenty of honest black people who support them, and I respect my friends, so I support it too where they are involved. But on any given day, you can hook me up with the legacy of Fred Hampton, Bobby Seale and Huey Newton. And if you don't like that, though noogies sweetheart.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/PLn45wQ2BeoThey're a racist terroristic organization that are out to kill white people and destroy everything white people built. I would never support to hem and I'm a very blonde blue eyed white girl that's married to and has kids with a very dark sexy black man but I am very proud of being white and very proud of being blonde hair and blue eyes. Just because I'm married to and have kids with a black man doesn't mean I hate or am ashamed of being white and being proud of being white doesn't make me me racist.
Racist terrorist organization... you're a special kind of stupid.
@blissinanarchy1 huh strong point bro
@blissinanarchy1 Actually she is correct and by your ignorant statement you proved that you are the one that is "a special kind of stupid."
@HighValue it’s a troll you idiot.
@HighValue It's funny how people get so offended at hearing the truth especially black women. Black women are always sooo jealous of us and get so mad and jealous when they see us beautiful blonde hair blue eyed white girls with dark sexy black men and our black kids.
@ChefPapiChulo So anyone that spend the truth that you don't like to hear is a troll? I guess you're going to say I'm racist too. I'm the furthest thing from racist. I wouldn't be married to and have kids with a black man if I was racist. Being married to and having kids with a black man doesn't mean I hate it am ashamed of being white either like so many black women love to claim. I'm very proud of being white and very proud of my blonde hair and blue eyes. Being proud of being whyte and speaking the facts about race and about BLM doesn't make one racist and being married to and having kids with a black man doesn't mean a white girl hates or is ashamed of being white.
I don't know if you’re a bot cause you keep repeating your shit or if you’re troll or I don't know what. But fucking LOL
I meant to say "So anyone that speak the truth that you don't like to hear is a troll?" in my first sentence. Speak came out as spend.
Black Lives Matter is a way for blacks to get their voice hear about situations they are going through. I don’t think it needs to be a violate as people are making it. It can be a peaceful.
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. taught black people to protest with peace.

They openly declared repeatedly "we're trained Marxists".
If they want racial justice... when 3% of the population commit almost 50% of the violent crime in the country then what is their purpose?
No bail/bond.
Release of criminals.
More free money.
Democrat power.
And take advantage of the donations while...
Doing nothing to protect black victims of black crime.
They're a militant and propaganda wing of the DNC.
Their supporters, active and tacit, are for the overthrow of the US government... whether they're aware of it or not, that's what their goal is.
Much like many other leftist organizations, they rely on thing that they claim don't actually exist. BLM in particular rely on the fact that the vast majority of people in western countries aren't racists but they rely on their sympathy to bring across the idea that the west is teeming with racists.
They then use this rhetoric to get the state to pass legislation to take action against things that aren't happening, at least not at a large scale, leading to things like affirmative action where some skin colors can get into colleges or workplaces easier than others without any evidence that that individual in question actually needs it.
Obviously there are people who say that's racist but groups like this will just say muh systemic/historical oppression and "you don't think black lives matter, do you?" until you shut up.
So you think systametic racism doesn't exist?
It can and affirmative action is a textbook example.
All I am saying is that those who think using a collectivist approach can solve an individualistic issue (yes, even if such misfortune happens more to one group than the other) is not only wrong but immoral because it enables people to judge by race/sex/whatever instead of character or merit.
I mean look at the core issue they have. Unarmed black men being shot by police. They present no legit data to back up their claims. They do make claims but they as far as I've seen haven't seen them putting out peer reviewed studies and things like that one could possibly use as evidence. So when you go to places that actually have real data, none of blms claims are shown. More unarmed whites are shot. When you look at proportions of police interactions more unarmed whites are shot as well. So to me they appear to be nonsensical in terms of their purpose. Then add on top their methods leave much to be desired coming out against legislation for more police accountability but supporting riots that result in injury death and property damage... even if they had a coherent message id still not be supportive of them.
All in all i think they have no redeeming value and in fact are a negative influence to the country as a whole and black people specifically.
I love the argument that more white people are shot and killed. There are more white people, period. I'll exaggerate the percentage to make it clear. If there are 20 white people, and 10 get killed, 50% died. If there are 10 black people, and 9 get killed, 90% died. So yes, more white people were killed total, but a higher percentage of the smaller population is getting killed.
@blissinanarchy1 Most people that don't comply are black. Maybe that's a good reason
@blissinanarchy1 You just said it yourself numb nuts, there's more whites that are killed by cops. Most of those whites are innocent. Black people tend to resist arrest more than any other race
@Chthou95 I never denied more white people get killed, I think there was a miscommunication. But a higher percentage of black police encounters end fatally in comparison to white encounters. Not sure where you get your information about whites resist less. Maybe suburban whites, but SOME redneck whites are vicious and will let shots off just as fast as SOME black people in impoverished areas.
@blissinanarchy1 I wonder why a lot of them end fatally. Could it be that cops that just want to kill black people or they just don't comply and again usually try & resist resist? Whites don't resist as much. And if they are killed, it's because the officer did poorly and killed an innocent person. And the media only shows you blacks being killed but doesn't show other race complying and being killed
@blissinanarchy1 both total and proportional when compared to overall police interactions. Just making random numbers here but it would be like 5 whites are killed out of 10,000 white stops and 3 blacks are killed out of 10,000 black people stopped. So its just not true blacks are being killed more proportionally or in total. So... what even is blms purpose? It makes no sense.
BLM is a racist violent criminal group that has leaders which support communism and use the group to make money. It has nothing to do with Black lives mattering, but it has everything to do with hating White people, hating Asians, hating the USA, supporting and participating in violent crimes, robbery, theft, and arson.
As with any organization you're going to have a wide range of personalities so it's important to make sure everyone that is a part of the organization are identifiable and accountable when it comes to representing the group. Its a lot of work to build up but so easy to take down
I like this, there don't seem to be too many others out there realizing not everyone who claims to be BLM does so in the way the organization wants.
If they never denounce violence, they might as well just promote it.
@maverick2022 There isn't any organized leadership so itd be hard.
Those hood rats are so lucky that the couple did not come out blasting I don't know about you but if someone is pointing a gun at me I'm Duck and Cover and make a run for it not stick around and try to antagonize the gun owner
They used to have that they are a Marxist organization on their website.
I’m, Let’s see here. I see them more as a non-profit that uses “useful idiots” to not only gain more influence and power, but to focus on the most important color of all: Green.
I am not supportive of the organization as it is just a front for violence and communism (this is provable by looking up their goals). That said, of course I care about the lives of black people. I care about the lives of all humans and I don't want to see anyone unfairly judged by an immutable characteristic. One of my idols is MLK Jr and I agree we should just people by the content of their character above any other characteristic.
No. You have a bunch of people using the BLM name wrongfully while commiting these acts which leads to misconceptions. That isn't real BLM
Interesting that MLK was also a member of a communist group. Communism has been steadily infiltrating the black community since the 1950s. "Real BLM" or not doesn't matter, since they don't denounce violence they obviously support it. Many of the black protest groups have actually made vague statements suggesting they actually do support violence. So the argument that it's not official is irrelevant.
@blissinanarchy1 you can go to their website and see their demands; they aren't good
@maverick2022 if I am not mistaken, before he was murdered MLK denounced communism
No they dont.
A co-founder of blm bought 4 homes worth several millions. Those home are not in predominantly black areas.
If she cared she would have spent that money to improve the community she claims to care about so much.
Absolute bastards. All of them
Only some low IQ people, mostly young women in my country would support that. Prett much 90%+ of the public is against it. Croatian football team refused to kneel in their support (even though they kneeled in their clubs). Most of Croats either don't care, since there's no black people here, or they dislike BLM. I openly hate it from the core.
They are a communist racist terrorist organization. They were released on the public to riot, burn, beat up and kill citizens in an effort to sway the elections to insure their socialist agenda. They are designed to instill fear in free speech so that the tyrants that control them can attempt to strip your most basic God given rights. They all will hang.
"They will hang", while referring to a black group. Yep, you're a nazi
@blissinanarchy1 You think Black people are immune to capital punishment for acts of treason? Yeah good luck with that deference strategy shit stack. Don’t worry ANTIFA cock suckers like you will swing right beside them. It will be very diverse and inclusive… The modern law of land warfare 330 doesn’t give a shit about your racist views or your safe spaces. You can call people with prominent Jewish last names Nazis all day long out of antisemitism, but you’ll still swing and no one will lose a wink of sleep over it.
Antifa 😂 all that inference because I called you out for saying black people will swing. Keep talking tough over the internet big guy. Promise you wouldn't in real life. Keyboard warrior
@blissinanarchy1 The law is clear commie. You being an antisemite won't save you in court. Black people swing just as easily as you will. You're just as fucked as Trudeau.
Antisemite because I called you a nazi 😂😂😂. A. Nazi isn't a slur towards Jews. That would be a kike, which I didn't call.
B. Your jewish sounding last name? I'm assuming it's Fluster. Do you really think everybody knows that's jewish sounding?
C. Out of antisemitism. How am I supposed to know you're jewish, and because I confront you on racism you call me a racist because you're jewish. It's not because you're jewish. I couldnt give less of a fuck. I got Israeli cousins. It's because you're an asshole.
@blissinanarchy1 Keep back peddling, it will be entertaining to watch you do the bicycle while you swing from the gallows before you piss yourself.
When there are BLM marches in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore and other inner cities addressing the tens of thousands of Black people murdered by other Black people each year then they might actually have some credibility. At this point I think the "organization" if more about money.
I initially supported them, but then any group of protesters who blocks traffic, pulls people out of cars and threatens them will lose my support. Once gone, it isn't coming back, they can go F themselves now.
They are a political tool that’s it. They are run by people who now have multiple million dollars houseS, with an “s”. Enough said until the next election when they crank it up again.
They ride issues that are not thier's too carry, like the Floyd murder, which was not a racial issued at all, but a police brutality issue. They misrepresent themselves and what they're about and I don't like that.
I am not supportive of them at all! if they REALLY cared about black lives, they would be in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and other cities trying to stop the black on black Violence which kills 99 percent of all blacks in this country.
It is a fact that Black Lives Matter is simply a Marxist organization that is trying to divide this nation rather than heal its wounds.
Simply put, they are consortium of anti-God and anti America unemployed getting paid by some of Soros’ 40 million he has dedicated to bringing down America as well as governmental Unemployment.
ALL LIVES MATTER. STOP THIS POLITICAL CRAP. ENOUGH OF ALL THIS BLM CRAP EVERY LIFE MATTERS GOD MADE ALL OF US BOTTOM LINE THAT'S IT IT'S NOT JUST BLACK WHITE IT'S Asian MEXICAN INDIAN AND SO ON ENOUGH'S ENOUGH STOP WITH THIS SHIT
Black lives do matter but I don't think the actual organisation represents black people particularly well. I don't think the majority of African Americans are Marxists.
If we're going to get rid of racism, we need to get rid of organizations that emphasize one race over another.
They are a charity like any other charity. People are bitching about them like they are a Black government.
Sure they are…..
The majority seems to not like them
And for good reason.
Absolutely not!! If they did actually care about blacks, they wouldn't be shooting, killing, stealing from and burning down other blacks and their possessions.
Just a branch of ANTIFA sowing hate and discontent through their peaceful riots.
I mean... I already though they were garbage even before all that shit about leaders buying houses and the organization having no HQ or whatever and essentially stealing all the money donated to them.
Aren’t they being dropped from corporate donors because they refused to disclose where $60 million went?
They're trash and terrorists and I've almost always thought this about them.
It is a scam. If it was a conservative organization all the officers would be in jail but Biden's DOJ would think it was racist to prosecute them.
Is there an "organisation", as such? Isn't it more of a movement?
It’s an organization as well.
I’m referring to the organization, as everyone will agree that black lives do matter.
Well, why “A”
What’s your reasoning?
To me, their name is “black lives matter” yet, evidence suggests there’s a lot more to the story than just caring about the black lives in the US, specifically plagued by racial or systemic injustice.
About power, corruption, etc.
You know the old expression give a an inch and they take the whole yard stick look at Shannon Sharp on undisputed tv sports talk a big time militant guy
They ruined their credibility during summer of love peaceful protests.
After all of the destruction and now they are being investigated for where the money went.
They are creating instability and distractions while grabbing for money.
The leaders are moronic extremist. They have publicly called for violence and you can see where the organization puts their money. Here is a hint, it's not back into minority communities.
They are a racist hate group you may not be aware of their old name "Black Panthers"
What the fuck are they doing about Chicago? A thousand people were killed in Cook county last year, and over 80% of them were black.
Its like those "climate activists" who glue themselves on the middle of the highway to get on everyone's nerves and think they save the world with it
They are a scumbag Marxist organization that does nothing for black lives. Proven to be a money laundering scheme for the DNC.
Communist terrorist organization funded by Soros to overthrow government.
Am I included in the lives in question?
No?
Then they don't matter.
Yes you are. Black Lives Matter doesn't mean only black lives matter.
@blissinanarchy1 I'm aware the two ideas can exist simultaneously.
Nope. I dont support an organization that wants other people to care and help with their problems when they don't even try & help themsekves
They making millions so where is the money in black communities in blk pockets
Only morons and wannabes support them.
Mainly about power.
Terrorists and anarchists
A racist, proto-commie hate group.
I think it's a misinformed racist movement.
It's all about money for the top people
the whole organization is based on a false premise
I'm not into "identity" politics
Nothing but domestic terrorists
I’ve never supported it
They did the exact opposite of what Dr. King did
Who are “they”?
Black Lives Matter
You can point to BLM as well.
Who cares?
Not anymore
