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.
