On Black Lives Matter

How do you reduce the effectiveness of a movement or a thought without making it obvious that you're doing so? 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. Invite only 1 dimension of this movement to be seen, so it is easier to attack. Create the largest separation between supporters and opponents as you possibly can, so that compromise is not a valid option. I mean, shit, I want you to think about this for just a second. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly because that conclusion is apparently in agreement with your world view. Just give this a few minutes of thought. If you believe that the media is so powerful in influencing Hilary's popularity, if you believe that her position was only reached by manipulation of media, how the -blam!- are you not going to question the media's influence on situations like BLM? How? How are you going to tell me, that one opinion is a completely deceitful production of the media, but the other is a valid outlook on reality? Big Brother is watching, and you all look like fools to be spun by the "this is not propaganda" propaganda. The easiest way to control the ignorant and paranoid.

  • 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.
