I'm gonna start my own movement it'll be called "No Lives Matter"

[quote]Use every media outlet you possibly can to portray everything about this movement in the most negative way you can, so that to support it is equivocated with insanity, savagery, and ignorance.[/quote] (https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1559800/211180060/0/0) BLM is founded on false premises. The media can spin riots any way they please, but a closer look at BLM's foundation shows that the movement [i]is[/i] ignorant.

The problem with BLM is not only the way they are portrayed in the media, it's also the way they portray themselves on their own media. They make lots of claims and many are simply stupid and blame everything on "state violence" Some examples from http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/ [quote]How Black poverty and genocide is state violence.[/quote] Genocide? Really? The only "genocide" I can see is what they are doing to themselves. (13% of the population commit 38% of murders and 98% are "Black on Black") [quote]How 2.8 million Black people are locked in cages in this country is state violence.[/quote] So Black criminals shouldn't be punished? [quote]How Black women bearing the burden of a relentless assault on our children and our families is state violence.[/quote] Ok, what?? [quote]How Black queer and trans folks bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us, and that is state violence.[/quote] Ok I'm done! [quote]How Black girls are used as negotiating chips during times of conflict and war.[/quote] Wait what? Hold up. The only time I can think this has happened is when Boko Harem, a Black Islamic terrorist group kidnapped some Black school girls in Nigeria, to use as leverage against a Black leadership.

Black lives matter is the most retarded movement. If you want to protest injustice, go to the city hall, get the proper permits to close a road, hold a parade and explain why you think injustice exists, and set up charities to make a difference. Don't go rioting and looting. You're losing all credibility by doing that. When a cop shoots a black guy it can't be the cops fault every time. Also why don't they focus on the issues that are in their community? Like the absurdly high homicide rates between blacks, for example. Why don't they focus on instilling the morals and values of MLKJ? Why not exercise non violence and civil disobedience like Rosa Parks? If there is systemic racism as they claim, then why not point to the laws that supposedly target them so we can fight it together?

Us Hispanics literally give no shi.ts whatsoever.

The mainstream media does everything it can to portray BLM in a positive light. They can't [i]not[/i] report on the riots, as much as BLM would want them not to (you know, the way they barely report on all of the recent wikileaks). However, their narrative has always been that cops and white people are bad. Social media is what has been shaping people's minds in a different way because that's where you actually see things like the recently released body cams and cell phone videos that the mainstream media would never show. You're completely off-base here, unless you're trolling. If so, then well done. Otherwise, continue following the mainstream media's narrative in that it's white people's fault that a black guy got shot by another black guy while protesting and rioting over a black cop shooting a black guy. -blam!-ing white people, right?

Too many big words :/

Yes because there is major police violence towards blacks, so much we need to get rid of a police force, or at least "rebuild" it. Oh wait, what? The proportions don't add up when you have 2x the amount of whites being killed by cops even though blacks commit over 50% of crimes? But I don't see white people rioting and protesting. Black lives Matter has the WRONG motives and is going about it the COMPLETE wrong way. All this is, is a giant race baiting movement to accomplish a political agenda, but what wasn't counted on was the backlash from average americans. Race relations were amazing before BLM. I wish it weren't this bad right now, but BLM is to blame. Who else led to the rise of the black Panthers? And the rioters? And the much higher police death toll this year? The only group I see at the root, BLM. You can see this, right?

Lolol, you think the media is against BLM.

BLM is a bully organization of frustrated spoiled millennials and people looking for an anger outlet. It's a borderline terrorist organization that often spews hateful rhetoric and inspires murder on police officers. I have absolutely no love for BLM. They're an awful organization. I have no time, and no patience for a group of individuals who want to blame all of the problems that they think they may or may not be facing on some "boogeyman" called "white supremacy," or "systematic racism." Because they think it's much easier to blame something else for your problems, instead of maybe, [url=http://http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-black-americans-commit-crime/19439]the fact that blacks in this country commit an insanely high amount of crime.[/url]

Are you trying to say blms not full of s***? To hell with the news, the media, the internet have you just talked to anyone claiming to be part of blm?

Everyone in the argument is wrong on some level, and so there isn't really a good side to choose. That being said, I think that of the two sides, the anti-BLM people seem more reasonable. They aren't burning down buildings and inciting race riots. I just wish that the protesters weren't violent. Look at people like MLK jr. He never threw a punch or asked his followers to. He made changes through diplomacy and speech, not with bricks and weapons. If these new wave people were like that, I'd support them. But they aren't.

If Martin Luther King, Jr. could how black people are behaving now, he'd die of an aneurysm.

Great post. As a veteran psychologist who has noticed some of these trends too(by the way I'm brown but not brown enough that people call me black, they call me white, a lot of my friends are brown, or pink, or olive brown, and even grey brown, but I have no actual albino friends) I would like to agree. The media, by [i]hyping up[/i] all the riots, all the shootings, is completely overshadowing that there is a real problem where a disproportional number of "black" people are shot by police. The thing is that the media never delves deeper. They never bring up that they, the media, and I mean news, social media, television and movies, continuously portray young "black" men as violent and unable to be reasoned with. Then you have music that portrays all young "black" men as "thugs" and gangbangers which further propitiates the vision, role and stereotype that they desire for "black" men. But guess what? Not all black men are like that. A lot are just average guys doing extraordinary jobs like my friend Bradford that works with me to help children find homes, stay in their biological home, get therapy and get adopted. He's brown enough to be called "black" and he's not any of those things. And the unfortunate thing is that he [b]could[/b] be shot by a policeman by accident just because he reached for his registration from his glove compartment. As a society, we need to purge the media and Capitol Hill of these people that have the agenda of dividing us. They want us to fight amongst ourselves in order to distract us from them stealing from us or further enslaving us. All lives matter, black men, black cops, white culture vultures, Japanese business men, Russian ballerinas, white women, black women, everyone matters and the media is trying to force us to take sides in an issue that shouldn't have sides. We need to seriously take a look at why black men get shot by any color policeman. We need to take a serious look at why people are being manipulated to think that we shouldn't take a look. And most of all we need to take a look at the people running things and why they would incite riots and push for more violence, all the while creating a further divide and propitiating racism. We all are of one blood, let's stop spilling it for these puppet masters and start spilling their blood instead. The real purge 2016.

Isn't BLM that racist group in the USA that's like the opposite of KKK or whatever? I say if they don't like the way things are they can either [b]peacefully[/b] try to change whatever it is they are trying to change, or simply just go back to their ancestral countries where they will come to realize race isn't the problem. I'm so glad I don't live in the USA. They have so much violence and bullshit to deal with.
