Black Lives Matter Movement: Good or Bad for Society?

You refer to these "records" yet provide zero specifics. I say your proof does not exist and the reality is I am correct. It will continue to not exist until it is actually provided.

 

Have you been trying to find information under rocks?! You cannot tell me here, that you do not know what's going on. I am certain you are propagating BS here. And the conscientious stupidity I'm picking up in your rhetoric tells me that discussing this with you, is futile and a waste of time.

Goodbye.

 

And there you have it folks, duck, dodge and run away. Those who support BLM know it is based on lies and only like to repeat the rhetoric. When asked to actually provide proof they run away because BLM is a hate group based on lies.

 

BLM is about as influential as Occupy Wall Street.

BLM is about as influential as Occupy Wall Street.

 

Since I've read some of your posts on other topics and disagreed with your rationale, frequently, I'm thrilled that it's not your job to "educate" me, lol.

 

And if YOU think either has not been highly influential in the public/national debate, you are wrong.

 

Both have a small passionate base of protesters. Both have plenty of trouble makers. Both have accomplished nothing, basically just riling themselves up while the rest of the world looks at them with a fair amount of disdain. BLM is a little different however, because politicians ( democrats), will give it some attention prior to election because they figure it will help to drive African American voter turnout.

 

Well , I see it much different they act like a pack of bullies with the agenda me, me, me ! The view is very narrow only concentrating on violent black criminals behaving badly where white law enforcement is involved .
They totally fail to address black on black crime , and the countless murders in their community . I guess being PC means you should disregard all the facts and cherry pick whatever moves your agenda forward and promote hatred and finger pointing .

I am well aware that you value perception over facts its why you disagree with me so often.

BLM is more important in my view, because what African Americans are suffering is longstanding and direct. As long as there is abject, systemic injustice against people of color, some form of 'protest' (even movements) will come about. The Occupy Movement will continue to morph politically, and I'm happy about that also.

To this day, I'm still not certain exactly what the Tea Party wants to accomplish. At first I thought it was good... but now what I see in it is mostly extremists, who refuse to compromise on some of the most important things in Congress. They've obviously influenced our government... but what are they actually 'for'?

 

I wouldn't call myself a tea party supporter per se, and am not sure there is one unified message coming from them other than perhaps fiscal responsibility and smaller government. With that being said, the tea party is widely credited with creating the wave that created huge gains for Republicans to take over the house in 2010. That is actually quite impactful.

To try and make a comparison between a movement that changed the balance of power in the house of representatives, to BLM and Occupy Wall Street, is utterly preposterous. You can sit there and imagine that they will morph into something consequential if you so choose, but up until this point they have been entirely irrelevant in the political landscape. If they end up doing something consequential ( which I personally do not believe will happen), then you can start to talk about the importance of their movements. Until that time it is wishful thinking on your part. The Tea Party at this time can actually trumpet tangible results, while BLM and Occupy Wall Street can only peddle hope that they morph into something even remotely consequential.

 

Yeah, there is a lot that can be speculated about with any movement. I'll bail out of this discussion on BLM (for now) by just saying that EACH "movement" is important, because those are one form of 'expression', as it relates to the will of the people. People need know they have 'some' way of being heard. And while various protest movements can be rough/unruly... they do allow significant portions of the American people to highlight things that matter deeply to them.

 

Have to say bad.

It is a misguided movement. It is devisive and though most dont realize it, they are pushing segregation.

I believe the vast majority of the followers want equality. The leadership ... probably have their sights set higher.

 

I have not had time to check out your links, but if it's true....good for George.

 

Then there's law and order and lawlessness and disorder.
