Social Justice Black Lives Matter Discussion Thread

In a statement to WW, the company says its response "was not a reaction to complaints or tweets from outside parties, it was made because Otter Pops does not align with any political group or organization."

"Otter Pops supports the rights and freedoms granted to Americans," the company writes. "Our core mission is to serve children and families."

Why can't companies, and most American's who choose to do so, simply abstain from the 'pick a side' requirement being thrust upon anyone and everyone today? A big part of how America got along forever was they didn't talk politics or religion. Now, we aren't allowed to respect the fact that someone may have a differing opinion. Tolerance, yeah, that's mostly gone.

i got this forwarded to me at work, and a lot of business's and stores are shutting down today and been barricading their storefronts.

That's frightening. In Seattle protesters went to the police chief's house. People need to take these lunatics seriously and not buy into the "peaceful protest" narrative that the left likes to paint. Lock n load.

It's so shitty here in Louisville now. I mean i understand protesting and such, but here lately they have been out busting up stores, flipping cars, and making it fucking difficult to drive to work because i have to avoid certain streets that i have to drive on headed to work.
When they say that these protest will not be peaceful I get a sour feeling in my stomach.
 
So, BLM 'peaceful' protesting is allowed by the mayors...unless it gets too close to home.

"Pillage and Burn all you want, just not near in my backyard" says those elected to protect and lead the general public.
I absolutely love that. The "not in my backyard" phenomena.
 
I swear I thought you were going to say Portland. You know, where the two youths were shot after the cops left.

No, I was talking about this...


People make a big deal about law abiding patriots with guns but shit like this seems to be brushed under the rug.
 

Whites co-opting BLM for their own purposes will beat you up for not conforming to the groupthink.

While I think BLM's foundational premise is flawed, I still believe the Antifa crowd is co-opting the opportunity and causing more of the violence and destruction. Just my opinion.

No, it's subconsciously racist white people co-opting the movement because they want the feel-goods, the praise on social media, the followers, the psychological validation of fitting in and being part of the in-crowd.

I'll stand by the assertion white people cannot be allies of the BLM movement. They stand nothing to gain from it, and are co-opting it for their own inferior political/psychological purposes.

I've written in depth about this and cannot share all my thoughts here as they would be deeply offensive to some, but I take a deep psychological look at white protesters for BLM, their psychological motivations, and analyze their relative ignorance on BLM issues and why they are posturing the way they are about a movement they are co-opting for selfish ends.

While I'll agree there is a portion of the white American population who are virtue signalling, like you say for 'the feel-goods', I don't think they'll get off their ass to do anything more than what a flick of their finger on their phone can accomplish.

The violence in these cities, the rioting, occurs where a group seek to protest as BLM and quickly the situation escalates. BLM has had peaceful protests prior to these last few weeks. Antifa hasn't had an opening to cause outright mayhem in the goal of destroying America until now and aren't going to miss the window. That said, BLM leaders have stated they are wanting to destroy America as well, so....

They're trying to escape modern Egypt, but aren't actually slaves so there's a narrative conflict in this historical repetition.

So, instead of escaping or emigrating to Africa (some African nations in light of BLM protests and Floyd's death called for them to immigrate to certain African nations; locals there were expressing they would be more than happy to have them), they are attempting to destroy America as a means of destroying the narrative.

They cannot escape Egypt if they are not slaves. What happens when you are imprisoned? Essentially, enslaved. They are destroying and rebelling against freedom by destroying America to restore the narrative (slaves of Egypt escaping from Pharaoh) so the historical repetition can come to fruition.

Why else are so many people getting arrested/imprisoned? They hate how cops treat them but then put themselves into situations of protesting/rioting/arson/looting where they are arrested?

I DO NOT buy this is "all ANTIFA". This is the Trump narrative (lies). Black people have said "This is what happens when you keep killing unarmed black people" referring to the arson in WI. They are clearly stating they do not see justice the same way and do not intend to practice it in an American fashion and do not want American assumption of innocence until proven guilty, American justice through the court system. What they want is mob rule, and cry wolf when there is a bigger mob with badder weapons ready to beat them down for it.
 
Nowhere in anyone's mind can the logic be that looters and arsonists may be gun toting criminals that cannot be trusted - and nowhere can anyone connect their behavior with the perpetuating myth that black people cannot be trusted. When you see the media narrative (painted correctly as per interviews from black people who have claimed "this is what happens when..."), the assumption is that these people do this.

When you see enough footage of angry Iranians burning US flags and shouting Death to America, Death to Israel/Jews, the assumption is that these people do this.

The difference is Iranians are not abashed, ashamed or embarrassed to be painted in this light (at least, most of them are not). Black Americans have a dichotomy where they want to be treated equally but do not have to behave equally.

Behavior largely dictates how I react to someone else, this is a common behavioral psychological tactic in how we relate to each other.

The fact is that life does not matter, and we are not equal. It has nothing to do with race; we all weren't born equal. Some of us had greater abilities/genes from birth (as seen from an "able/disabled" view). So what? I don't care. I'm not here to purport my life is worthwhile. How would I know? How can I know any life has meaning?

No one wants to address philosophically why any life has meaning. In short, it does not. Equality is a moral relativist failure that cannot be implemented since our culture does not value equality (alleged by BLM/protesters, not me). People do not want to address the glaring contradiction; that peaceful protesters are not the same as violent protesters.

This subconsciously is interpreted in the minds of people, including President Trump, is that white people are not the same as black people. And the more the narrative of "angry violent black protesters" versus "white resistance" Is painted, the more racism will become apparent.

Join the protest movement - we need more racists today! Or, perhaps you can peacefully live your life and defy stereotypes being shoved down your throats with group-think. Whatever. I don't care, your lives are meaningless and fake to me anyways. Not because of the color of your skin, however... and I'm sure many people will come here to call me racist.

Some black people on the news have asked for the riots/protesting to stop, namely because they understand this glaring contradiction and how terrible all media outlets are painting the situation. For every burned building there must be 10,000 hours of media footage/reporting on it, and this is literally being brainwashed into the minds of Americans.

People on the fence, and possibly leaning towards Trump, will continue to receive the "BLACK PEOPLE ARE VIOLENT AND COMING TO BURN DOWN YOUR SMALL TOWN!" message from these clips. I cringe every time another black person is killed, mostly because of the ensuing violence/arson/looting and how this will only help Trump get re-elected.

I claimed around Floyd's death EXACTLY what Trump would be saying NOW, months later, essentially turning to anti-black racism instead of anti-Latino. Namely because "dirty rapist Mexicans" got overplayed, and so did "fake news". So it became "radical leftist protesters/ANTIFA" and "hoax". The signifiers change, the signified does not. The racist narrative won in 2016, and it has the power to win again in 2020.

The Democrats are going to lose by pushing on race issues. They need to push on economic/pandemic/health issues and can easily win. I even speculated Trump could easily be encouraging/pressuring/paying for racist cops to take out vendettas against black citizens (either at random, or due to previous issues like Floyd and the cop who killed him) because this racial division will certainly get his white base supporting him again.

Trump is not sweating bullets over Floyd/Blake murders. He's probably smiling about it.

I DO NOT buy this is "all ANTIFA". This is the Trump narrative (lies). Black people have said "This is what happens when you keep killing unarmed black people" referring to the arson in WI. They are clearly stating they do not see justice the same way and do not intend to practice it in an American fashion and do not want American assumption of innocence until proven guilty, American justice through the court system. What they want is mob rule, and cry wolf when there is a bigger mob with badder weapons ready to beat them down for it.
Can you imagine the backlash if Trump blamed black people for the protest violence, instead of ANTIFA? Of course he has to call it "ANTIFA" and blame that organization.

My exact prediction was that "they're rioters, protesters, looters, arsonists... you know the type" would be his wording. Blaming ANTIFA is much more chic and believable and less overtly racist, and I applaud him for disguising his true feelings on the matter (because it shows he was slightly smarter than I originally gave him credit for). I knew however, exactly how Trump would spin this into his advantage, and why he is encouraging the racial unrest and not trying to put out the flames.
 
Man Accused of Hate Crime Yelled “Black Lives Matter” Before Stabbing White Victim

Suspect demanded cops shoot him.

An African-American man yelled “black lives matter” before stabbing his white victim and now faces attempted 1st degree murder and hate crime charges, according to police in Aurora, Colorado.

The incident occurred on Tuesday night near East Alameda Avenue and South Sable Boulevard when 30-year-old Steve Sinclair approached 29-year-old Michael Conner and told him, “I’m going to kill you and your dog.”

Conner tried to run away and defend himself with a stick.

“An arrest affidavit says Sinclair used a knife to stab 29-year-old Michael Conner who was transported to the hospital for his injuries and a collapsed lung,” reports 9News.

“Conner, a white male, told police while at the hospital that Sinclair, a Black male, shouted “Black lives matter!” prior to stabbing him, according to the report.”

After police arrived, Sinclair continued yelling “black lives matter” while also telling officers “I stabbed him, I’m a psychopath,” before refusing to sit down and insisting that officers shoot him.

Sinclair is being held at Arapahoe County Jail and faces charges of first-degree murder and bias-motivated crime.

We have highlighted several other attacks in recent weeks that were apparently motivated by Black Lives Matter rhetoric.

Numerous vicious assaults have occurred at BLM protests, including in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Monday night when an elderly man was brutally assaulted after trying to protect his property from looters.

Another man in Portland was kicked in the head and knocked unconscious after trying to protect a person from being robbed.

Earlier this week, a gang of three men fired shots from their vehicle at a group of Trump supporters during a political rally in Charlotte.

Last week, a former city councilman who had a Trump/Pence sign in his yard was murdered in his home, although police claimed the killing was “random.”

 


his is the United States of America, and you got a right to hate who you want!
So let's start bustin' heads!

Black against white
Yellow versus red
The fighting won't stop until we're dead
Until we're all dead

Burning, looting
Riots destroy the masses
Nightfall brings death
City reduced to ashes

Don't call me your brother
'Cuz I ain't your fuckin' brother
We fell from different cunts
And your skin, your skin's an ugly colour

Race war, we're going to a race war
Hate war, we're going to a hate war
Prejudicial homicide!

Bloodshed, rampage
Torture is not subsiding
Chaos, bedlam
Violent ethnic uprising

Muslims against Christians
And the Arabs versus Jews
The Catholics and Protestants
No one wins: we all lose!

Race war, we're going to a race war
Hate war, we're going to a hate war
Everybody's gonna die!

Xenophobic tendencies instilled in us at birth
Are mislabelled racism, hostilities getting worse
Accept the fact my distant cousin, we cannot live in peace
Isolated environments, they may just be the key

Human beings suspicious, soon fear grows to hate
We'll have each other by the throat if forced to integrate
Mothers watch their children die at each other's hand
Cain and Abel set the course, ethnocentric command

Race war!
Hate war!

You can run, but you can't hide!

wow...you mean when the guy admitted to killing people and he attempted to turn himself in they...actually arrested him? I wonder why they arrested him, but Kenosha police let the white terrorist walk free?
 
ok let me break it down for you

black guy admits to killing people = arrested

white guy admits to killing people = thank you, would you like a bottle of water for your drive home?

The guy in the article I posted? Where did he admit to killing people? He just said he stabbed him. Article is confusing tho, at first it says attempted first degree murder and then it says he was being charged with first degree murder. I'll try to find another source.

Regardless, defending yourself from an angry mob that's trying to kill you doesn't make one a terrorist. Not sure why you don't get that.
