What do you honestly think of Black Lives Matter?

Only bigots, racists and white extremists are intimidated by BLM.

 

~ BLM is a prime example of racism , bigotry and extremists. People in America have the right to feel any way they wish. That is a freedom in the USA.

 

Marxists who want the destruction of Western Democracy, they are incredibly divisive and will lead to an awful lot of hurt for black people. Also, they are anti-semitic and support Hamas. They have clear links with Islam, much like Malcolm X and the Black Panther movement in the 50s.

It's funny because there are **** loads of black slaves in Muslim majority countries.

 

There was no poll option that reflects my view, so I abstained.

BLM is mostly non-black, and saving black lives or improving their situation is but a tiny part of their larger purpose.

When one objectively investigates who benefits from division, one will discover who the enemy truly is.

 

But African Americans are 13% of the population, that makes sense.

 

Yes, just one and even that was using a recommended technique by his department which may not even have killed Floyd, his excited delirium triggered by his drug abuse may have been responsible.

 

BLM is a sham - another example of where Democrats and liberals prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.

If Black lives -really- mattered, we'd see as much attention and effort paid to inner-city black on black violence as we we do the occasional police shooting of a black man.

 

The term usually used is systemic racism and the only way to end it is to end the system.

What do you propose to replace the system?

 

Thank yous now go back to sleep.

 

I'm not intimidated by them. Local and state governments and companies are intimidated by them. I consider it abhorrent.

 

Democrat Mayors, Governors and police chiefs are bigots, racists, and white extremists?
Who knew?

 

BLM is now guilty of systemic racism.

 

They would do well to exercise the looters, vandals and disingenuous communist revolutionaries from their ranks. To be fair, this is incredibly difficult because agent provacateuring is such a simple and effective tactic to hijack and/or demonize any movement.

 

I didn't find an appropriate response. I think they are marxist revolutionaries who are coopting the AA community to protest for them. I also assert that they are being financed and supported by liberal media and both national and international funds. I didn't see a radio button for that.

 

Bingo. This is exactly what they are terrified of happening. Funny how all of these rich elites rarely offer money out of their own over stuffed pockets to help these groups. Trump who they have labeled a racist has given to may black scholarship funds and charities. They don't want to fix the problem they need it to keep people distracted. It just saddens me how well it works and how many Americans allow their political views to be based on emotional appeals.

 

I think BLM is built on a necessary and righteous idea. But like my vote choice, I believe they go too far sometimes. However, I think they tend to get blamed for anything bad that happens in an area they are operating in, and absolutely if said perpetrator is black.

For example, they have valid points about the way minorities are treated in this country, but I hop off the train when they start talking about things like defunding the police. Way to mess up something good with a whole bunch of stupid.

 

There is another option; repeal and outlaw any legislation that favors or penalizes one race over another. Then the system will have been purged of systemic racism.

 

~ BLM is a prime example of racism , bigotry and extremists. People in America have the right to feel any way they wish. That is a freedom in the USA.

~ Do we have legislation that favors one race over another ? All I can think of is Affirmative Action hiring mandates .

 

The only federal systemic racism that readily comes to mind is Affirmative Action. And it's a significant example. There is little difference between being denied access because you are black, and being denied access because you are not.

Though there are, or have been, many programs designed to benefit black owned businesses, for instance, there are student diversity quotas, etc.. I'm sure if one were to objectively pour through the law, particularly state and local law, he would find numerous examples. They are all examples of "systemic racism"

There are also numerous examples of targeted policing, stop and frisk, etc, at the state and local level that target one race over others, either specifically or de facto. These are also examples of "systemic racism", though strictly speaking it is only "systemic racism" if a race is specified in the policy, law or ordinance. For instance, if individual police officers decide on their own that a "crack down on loud car stereo" police initiative would be most fruitful by patrolling black neighborhoods, and they change their normal patrol area to be able to target black folks, then that is a personnel issue, not "systemic racism".

 

That is like saying only witches and heretics were intimidated by the Spanish Inquisition.

 

Exactly where is there "systemic racism"? I don't see any signs "No blacks allowed", Blacks to the back of the bus, or any of the other systemic types of things.
I see INDIVIDUALS that are racist, but there will always be racists until our species ceases to exist.

 

BLM is a cover for what the founders of the "organization" freely admit to being. Trained Marxists. As such, they have one and only one objective, and it's NOT the benefit of the black community. It is the destruction of America as we know it to be replaced by a socialist hell hole like all other socialist hell holes are.
Hell even Leo Terrell, a long time civil rights attorney has come out not only against the "BLM" but the Democrats as well. He has realized that for decades the Democrats have continually used the black community with continual promises of better times, only to trash those promises by promising..... NEXT TIME we'll keep those promises and lift you up.
It's a shame how many have made a career of promising the black community what they know they will never deliver on, only to promise it again next election cycle. What's even worse is how many decades the black community has fallen for the never kept promises.

 

You can blame the agit-prop spinners in the hyperliberal "news" media for giving all these anarchists a platform from which to spew their venom. The whole damned, radical Leftist mob makes heroes and martyrs out of law-breakers! How does anybody with a mind glorify people like that as saints and paragons? And how do they manage to get anyone else to believe this crap?!

Trump said he was going to declare ANTIFA an official "terrorist organization" soon... does anyone know exactly when THAT is supposed to happen, and, will "panthers", "BLM" and the rest of the other anarchist mobs going to be included, too?

 

Incredibly naive opinion you have.

 

You seem to know all about them. Smollett is one person.
