Social Justice Black Lives Matter Discussion Thread

I think it's ridiculous that a bunch of white sjw's think they know what's best for the black community and should speak on their behalf. In reality, they're just holding them back because they aren't allowed to address real problems in the black community without being labeled a racist or nazi. A lot of intelligent black people think these people are idiots, and don't even support BLM.
 
The Black Lives Matter Movement is the Enemy of African Americans
By LESLIE TAHA

TACOMA, WA — June 20, 2020 — The first thing that I have to say is that I am an African American man living in the Minneapolis area. I have to state this now; otherwise I would probably be called a racist.

Most people think that Black Lives Matter is a grass-roots, black created, black run organization dedicated to fighting racism. It most certainly is not. The Black Lives Matter movement is the creation of a group of a few very wealthy individuals, non-profit corporations, and the corporate media (incidentally, 90% of the U.S. media is controlled by only six corporations)

https://www.businessinsider.com/these-6-corporations-control-90-of-the-media-in-america-2012-6

On the official Black Lives Matter website, BlackLivesMatter.com https://blacklivesmatter.com/ it states that Black Lives Matter is a global network foundation that is active in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. A global network!

Who funds Black Lives Matter? It’s funded by billionaires George Soros (Open Society Foundation), Rob McKay (Taco Bell heir), the Ford Foundation, the Borealis Philanthropy, the Democracy Alliance, and many others. Not exactly what I would call a black run grass-roots organization. If these facts alone don’t cause you to rethink the whole Black Lives Matter thing, then you just aren’t paying attention. (Check out the links below)

http://bmafunders.org/who-is-funding-black-lives-matter/

Black Lives Matter began in 2013 when the media suddenly started focusing a tremendous amount of attention on what they portrayed as the rise of unjustified, racially motivated killings of African American men by white police officers. That’s the way that the media portrayed it, but the facts say otherwise.

Are police shootings of African American men on the rise? No they are not. In fact they are on the decline. According to the Juvenile and Criminal Justice Report, the rate of police killings of African Americans has fallen by 70% over the last 40-50 years. http://www.cjcj.org/news/8113

Are white racist police the biggest murderers of African Americans? No, far from it. The Black Lives Matter / media cabal is demonizing the police and portraying them as our number one foe, – the enemy, but the facts once again say otherwise.

According to the FBI Uniform Crime Report, 2,925 African Americans were murdered in 2018. 89% of them (2,600) were murdered by other African Americans.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u....018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls. That same year 209 African Americans (7%) were killed by the police (justified or otherwise).

So let’s do the math here. 2,600 African Americans killed by other African Americans and 209 killed by the police (justified or otherwise). So who is killing African Americans? Other African Americans. But who does the media put all of their focus on? The “white racist” police.

So here is the big question, seeing that these are the clear facts why is the media twisting the truth? Why are they pushing the false narrative that racism is rampant, (didn’t we just have an African American president for eight years)? Why are they spreading this lie that racially motivated police shootings are up. Why are they spreading this lie world-wide causing racial divisions, protest, rioting, looting, burning, destruction and death? This global cabal has a secret agenda and African Americans are just being used as pawns in their world-wide game.

This media produced false narrative reached its pinnacle with the death of George Floyd. The media has practically deified him. He’s in nationwide TV commercials, online ads, public service announcements, he’s on billboards (we are talking millions of dollars in advertising. Who’s paying for this?). His image is graffitied on buildings, businesses and walls from coast to coast, he’s on national magazine covers, and this list goes on and on. Hundreds attended his memorial service and funeral which included Al Sharpton (surprise!), The Governor of Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis, and many big name celebrities.

So who is this George Floyd? Is he some great civil rights leader like Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela? No, – he was a violent career criminal with a long criminal record.

George Floyd was released from prison in Houston Texas in 2014 following an arrest for aggravated robbery. He had been in jail at least five other times. His arrest record included theft, drug possession, and criminal trespass. He was also the leader of a home invasion ring. They entered a woman’s home and Floyd threatened to kill her by pointing a gun at her stomach while they ransacked the place looking for drugs and money. (Check out the link to his criminal record)

https://greatgameindia.com/george-floyd-criminal/

Nice guy huh. And this is the one that the Black Lives Matter / media cabal is using as their international poster boy. A violent career criminal. Well at least you can’t say that they don’t have a sense of humor.

On May 20th 2020 Floyd was arrested again for trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill at a Minneapolis grocery store. This was the event that supposedly set off this insane world-wide media storm. As we know, Floyd died while in police custody and the four officers involved were all immediately fired and charged with murder and aiding and abetting murder. This was done before any investigation has been done, and before the cause of death was even established.

The main officer involved, Derrick Chauvin was immediately tried, convicted, and hung. Not by a jury, but by the media. The media has so thoroughly convicted him that it is considered blasphemy of the highest order to even hint that he should be considered, “innocent until proven guilty”. The media has proclaimed it murder. Case closed!

Well once again I hate to spoil the show by introducing more facts into this media circus of lies, but here it goes.

According to the official Hennepin County Medical Examiner (not the private “examiner” paid for by the Floyd family legal team), George Floyd did not die from traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. The report stated that he died from a heart attack and the heart attack was a result of several factors. He had the narcotic Fentanyl in his system (which is 50 times more potent than heroin and the same drug that killed Prince), and he also had methamphetamines in his system. He also suffered from severe arteriosclerotic heart disease, and hypertension. All of that combined with his struggle with the police as they tried to subdue him is what caused him to go into cardiopulmonary arrest. Not just the fact that officer Chauvin had his knee on his neck. George Floyd received emergency medical care in the field, but he could not be resuscitated. Does that sound like murder to you? Read the report for yourself.

https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hen...-safety/documents/Autopsy_2020-3700_Floyd.pdf

Also the knee on the neck (neck restraint) maneuver was not something that the Minneapolis police reserved for use only on black people. They have used it over 200 times since 2015 on anyone they needed to subdue of all colors, white, black, brown, or whatever, and no one has ever died from it. So why are the Black Lives Matter Network / media cabal screaming at the top of their lungs that this was racism? A racially motivated murder!

The Black Lives Matter Network / media cabal is not what it makes itself out to be. It is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They pretend to be the liberal friends of African Americans, but in reality they are their mortal enemies. The policies that they so aggressively push cause nothing but more damage to the African American community.

Under the guise of eliminating racism they push a policy to “Defund the Police”. This is right on the front of the Black Lives Matter website.

Under the guise of eliminating racism they push a policy that they call, “Stop The Mass Incarcerations”. This is a policy that promotes the release of prison inmates before their time is up and putting them back on the street.

Under the guise of eliminating racism they push for the decriminalization of drugs offenses, and the immediate pardon of all drug offenses with reparations paid to those convicted of drug offenses.

So sum this up. In the African American community where there is the highest crime rate and the biggest problems with drug abuse, they push to release the inmates from prison and put them back on the streets, let drug use and drug dealing run wild, and then take away the police. What do you think the outcome of these policies will produce? More crime and drug abuse in the African American community. High crime and drug areas minus police equals hell, – easy math. Policies that promote more crime and drug abuse in the black community are what I call anti-black policies. These guys make the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) look like angels by comparison.

The “liberal” media cabal (news, TV, movies, music, publications) who now are pretending to care so much about racism and black people have for decades pushed ideas that are very damaging to the African American community. They have promoted criminal sensibilities, thug life, promiscuity, and immorality to the African American community by way of their promotion of the worst aspects of rap / hip-hop culture. They’ve been actively promoting the very things that feed our problems. Like feeding poison to a sick man.

Here is a very timely quote from Malcolm X: “The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems.”

What we are seeing happening in the world right now under the guise of “eliminating racism”, – the destabilization of society, the protest, rioting, looting, burning, and killing are not spontaneous, grass-roots events. It’s all thoroughly coordinated by those at the top of the Black Lives Matter / medial cabal. They are indeed the enemy of African Americans, but they are actually the enemy of us all. African Americans are just being used as cannon fodder in their game of global domination.

 
White Conservatives love when they find a black person that shares their views. It's not a new phenomenon. I remember back when W was President they used to trot around those gay Republicans like show horses.

That's pretty racist to assume that the reason I posted that was because the author was black. :unsure:
 
Some unpopular facts about BLM:

-BLM is not entirely non-profit. They have different chapters all operating fairly independently and many of them DO NOT have nonprofit 501(c)(3) status. They cannot account for hundreds of millions of dollars they have raked in since 2013. That money isn't going to schools nor is it going to help black communities in any meaningful way imo. For anyone interested, there are I think 4 chapters listed on the IRS website as charity organizations all considered small ( <$50k) and some haven't filed taxes since 2016 and are probably just on there to give them some sliver of credibility.

-Despite the fact that they make an enormous amount of money, they insist on defunding police departments in historically high crime areas. The result of doing this will undoubtedly be more violent crime in these neighborhoods and more innocent people dying. (But their lives don't matter-as long as they're not killed by a cop.) Crime in Ferguson Missouri nearly doubled since BLM protests there. In 2014 it was 9.5 murders per 100k people. In 2017 it was 52.9 per 100k people. 5x higher in 3 years. Absolutely insane. And I guess Missouri officials in 2018 decided they needed to deal with the mess they made. And guess who suffers from all of this? Black people who live there.

-BLM wants to get rid of charter schools. Charter schools which have long been an excellent alternative to regular public schools and which many low income black parents prefer to send their children to because of the higher quality of education their children receive and the safer environment. BLM's flimsy argument regarding this is that it takes away funding from regular public schools which are notoriously bad in certain areas. Instead of using the hundreds of millions of dollars they receive to help fund these schools, they would rather just rob parents of their choice to send their children to better schools.

-They support the destruction of communities as a reasonable response, disregarding the impact that it has on other members of those communities who rely on those stores, those banks, those restaurants, etc which get destroyed.

-They fail to use their platform to promote the incredible importance of young black people educating themselves and finishing school. Which is arguably the NUMBER ONE problem holding black communities back. 40% of black males drop out of high school. You don't need to be a genius to understand the long-term effects this has. Kids who don't finish school end up on the street doing dumb things and the cycles of crime and poverty perpetuate themselves in these communities.

-They don't give proper statistics. They claim blacks are unfairly targeted by the police and a black man is 2.5x more likely to get shot while failing to mention that more whites are killed every year by the police and if you are looking at percentage of criminal population, despite being only 13% of the population (males being only 6%) blacks are responsible for nearly 50% of all violent crime in this country. Don't believe me? Go on the FBI website. So instead they focus on a tiny number of cases in order to support their claim and no one refutes it because to do so in this day and age is to be labelled a RACIST.

I DO NOT trust BLM. I believe they are profiting off of people's compassion and guilt and that they don't really care about anyone's life except those at the top of the racist hate group organization BLM who are getting paid from all of this.

Just to home in on one comment of yours about statistics:
When they say a black guy is 2.5x more likely to be shot by a cop, logic itself will not allow you to rebut that by saying that a greater number of white folks are shot by police, especially when you then follow your remark by recognizing that black people are only 13% of the total population. Lol.
The total number of white people shot by cops can absolutely be higher, but that lower number of blacks shot is applied to just 13% of the number of people.
Here’s a quick game: suppose there are 100 girls on temptation island. 60 of them are blonde, and 10 are redheads. 15 blondes end up having a sunburn and 8 redheads have a sunburn every season. Well, there are more blondes with a sunburn, right? Sure. But 8 out of 10 redheads have one! So can we safely say redheads are more likely to get a sunburn? Like, 80% of them do, while just 25% of the blondes do. Get it?

hell, man. Maybe there’s a comma in a funny place and I just misunderstood you, in which case I just wasted 2-3 minutes of your/my time. If so, sorry But that’s sure what it looked like you’re trying to argue
 
"A lot of intelligent black people think these people are idiots, and don't even support BLM." -You

Well it's true but it's not the reason I posted the article. :\

Either way did you have something you disagreed with in the article?
 
are you suggesting that, if i am white and see a black person get shot, it's not possible for me to not want to see other black people get shot?

alasdair

No i said if someone got shot YOU don't FEEL it.
And you don't
 
i think you're reading too much into what @Deru said, or you maybe misunderstand him. i don't think anybody here is trying to tell - or 'whitesplain' - racism to black people.

but you seem to be suggesting that a white person can't even see racism (against black people) and be opposed to it?

alasdair


What is it with you people not reading but suggesting i said....?

I write in English, not hard to tell what i meant
So not 1 black person, just a bunch of white knights.
Like I said before you all put words in natives mouths on what i should be offended by so on this topic i would rather talk to the people effected, not the sjw's
 
of course i don't feel it. and i don't see where i've said - or even implied otherwise.

but it doesn't mean i can't want it to stop happening...

alasdair

But it does mean you can't tell me how it feels which was my point.
I notice you get quite passive aggressive when someone doesn't agree with. A common trait it seems.
 
Less and less blacks at the blm protests.
More and more bratty little white kids.
They’re making me a racist, I hate those white bitches.
 
America’s fucked😂 hundreds of armed militia both black and white gathering for a showdown.
2 pacs mom would be pleased
2Pac was gay, and sort of nellie/hyper-effeminate, but the 'thug' image was just that.



This is Pac's mum.

This is Pac's step-aunt. Common should have gotten that large reward when visiting her in Cuba.
