About BLM

I alluded to this on another thread but I think it deserves to be a topic.

Yesterday, Thing challenged me to 'actually listen' to BLM during the course of a debate. Granted, I'm not an authority on the group and my knowledge is comprised of them talking over Bernie's podium; the time they confronted Hillary, and even Hillary, asked them to come up with something coherent and she would sit down and discuss it with them. Bill Clinton [our first self-identified black president lol] had to back them up at one point.

That was pretty much the extent of my knowledge on BLM. My take on BLM is they are racialist rabble rousers---and probably not representative of mainstream blacks.

But I thought maybe Thing was right: perhaps I had some preconceived notions about the group that I should disabuse myself of.

Then last night I was watching the Kelly File and lovely Kelly had a panel on race relations. It was about 20 or 30 individuals with different opinions on the matter. It was actually worth watching. At any rate, there was at least one BLM *member* there. I assume that since she got invited to speak that she wasn't some fringe spokeswoman for BLM; but rather, someone who could speak for the BLM in at least a semi-official capacity.

She advocates abolishing police.

I was like 'really lol?' I don't even know what to say about that. Who does she think she's going to call if she ever needs a cop? She's from Chicago and they have some pretty nasty gangs in Chicago. Who, or what, will keep them from turning Chicago into Mogadishu?

Rather than having my mind changed my initial suspicions were confirmed: These people are loons, their ideas are dangerous and they should be marginalized, and not listened to, because they are part of the problem and not the solution.
 
Yup. You correct. You don't know much about BLM. Why don't you try going to their website. Find out what they actually stand for. They are about as radicalized as the chamber of commerce.
 
"Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression."

Who agrees that blacks are being systematically and intentionally targeted for demise?

Do you agree with the BLM representative that cops should be abolished?

Hell no but I seriously doubt she spoke for the entire movement. I representative of the leadership of my local chamber of commerce once told me only people who owned substantial property should vote. Do you agree with him and do you think he represent all members of the CoC?

Go to black lives matters web site. Read it.

sounds a bit hyperbolic but not to far off. Imagine being black and having to deal with vast numbers of people like you and ILA who have a knee jerk reaction to anyone who voices opposition to being mistreated.

This is what I mean about freedom and liberty just being words to many conservatives. You're all for it until someone actually practices them. Members of BLM are practicing their constitutional rights to free speech and to peacibly assemble for redress of grievances. That's as American as Apple Pie yet it illicit a knee jerk hostility from you. Why?

Somebody beat me to black genocide. No, these people are way over the top. They can exercise their free speech all they want but I think it's time reasonable people exercised theirs in marginalizing these radicals.

meh...they are for descrimination in many areas. I guess that depends what they mean by demise?

So how much of their website did you have to read to find one thing to condemn them to hell?

Should only people with property vote? Are you willing to condemn the CoC with the same degree of hostility or are you a hypocrit?

thats what they are pushing. Which leads to cops being less effective at stopping actual crime in their neighborhood. Yet liberals cant seem to figure this out :)

Wtf, some blacks are swallowing this bile; no wonder cops are being killed.
 
I mean you probably had to read through reams of agreeable stuff to cherry pick one thing. You've made up your mind beforehand and are playing the hypocrit.

I was involved in a local protest when a local kid with serious mental health issues were shot by the police when it wasn't necessary. A white kid. When the locals in this pearly white suburb protested the police actions in front of the police station the cops just came out and started beating heads. Fortunately someone with a cam Cordero recorded it and gave it to the local news station who aired it. The next day there was a much larger protest in which I participated. According to your logic we were radicals or do we get a pass for being white?
