No jokes this time and no racism from me on this.
(Not that there was in my joke which you have to admit was a clever twist on their name.)
Black Lives Matter
Um...OK
Does the black on black violence that happens like with the Chicago street gangs matter to them?
What are they doing about that?
Where are the protests they organize happening with that?
If nothing, then they need to change their name.
There is a claim they scammed donors to rake in millions and just to spend it on mansions for living in luxury.
That is the right wing version of that.
What is the left wing take or is the right..um..right?
Burn Loot Murder
That is what they did during the summer 2020 riots in response to a video of a white cop killing a black.
Besides protesting and rioting, what good or what changes, if any, have ever come from any of their actions?
I think their intentions are good, yeah cops should not murder black helpless suspects in their custody, but I do not see them doing any good from their actions.
Buying mansions, ignoring other violence against blacks, inciting riots, not seeing them do anything does not help their cause.
Change my mind if you can.

BLM is a Socialist front group based on a fraud. WarrenPeace , Every black civil rights organization has been labeled a communist/socialist plot by the Right. You never need proof because you just know it in your heart. |

This is what I am asking for. Something from a non biased source which shows or explains these ideas I have about BLM. They justify their taking in millions to spend on a mansion but what does an independent journalist or other say about that which might support it? I agree with their point about how cops should not kill innocent blacks in custody. Are they shooting themselves in the foot with their actions or is what is behind their message getting out there? I am giving the BLM supporters of the board their chance to do some 'splaining. If I do not get that then I will have to go with the right wing narrative and my own observations. I would like to believe they have a good cause but how can I when I just see and feel negative stuff from them? |

BLM isn't everyone who supports them It is like saying EVERY Trump supporters enter the Capitol on January 6th. No. Some attended the speech & went home. So Black Lives Matter was started to address the issue that they felt blacks are not listened to. The rioting & looting wasn't specific to BLM, but was people who went not to protest, but to Loot & vandalize stuff. Sort of like "look, a parade! Let's follow everyone & break ino their cars while they're enjoying the parade!" Not there for the parade, but to cause damage/steal stuff. 5 finger discount mentality. |

Don't worry, cullors loves her new mansion in a neighborhood WITH POLICE AND FENCES.... Theirs is no point. BLM is no more or less corrupt or terrorists than the entire Right Wing/Christian Right/MAGA/Q/Trump 2024 movement. Far more BLM activists have been arrested and jailed than MAGA militias. Your answer for everything is a variation of same conspiracy theory from 1950’s John Birch Society or a Satan something. And you don’t discuss, you preach, fear-monger, shame, and threaten. There is no ration, just emotion. |

From an otherwise laudatory Wikipedia article: Thank you. So if that Wiki entry is honest, it does look like someone in BLM was being naughty with their funds. For now I am going to go with this unless someone else has something else to the contrary. Yeah, I checked out their website and it was really confusing or hard to follow where they have all these chapters that do this or that which are separate from BLM but yet not really separate from BLM. Huh? |

I am not going to buy those excuses since the proof I am looking for has to be factual based and not opinion. Since you brought it up though, MLK led a non violent movement where everyone was well behaved and because of that, he got the civil rights he wanted. BLM needs to take a page from that book instead of letting those who are protesting with them Burn Loot and Murder which tarnishes their reputation in the press. So to suggest there are a few bad apples and to try and separate them from the BLM basket does not work. In this case a few bad apples does spoil the bunch. |
