So the newest political buzzword being thrown about by the left has reared its ugly head. I can't seem to open my newsfeed without every other story labeling someone as a white nationalist, white nationalist groups are growing larger, or how scary white nationalism is. So, why isn't there a uproar about black nationalism? How come the leftist media didn't report on BLM as the rise of black nationalism? Go to the BLM website and click the about us section. Literally the second sentence you'll read is,
[quote]We are working to (re)build the Black liberation movement.[/quote]
That's right the black liberation movement, a movement rooted in the principles of black nationalism. When the leaders of BLM meet with Obama, why isn't it reported as, "Obama meets with black nationalists"? When protests turn to riots, why isn't it reported as, "Black nationalist clash with police"? When people are attacked by protesters based on the color of their skin, why isn't it reported as, "Racist black nationalist attack innocent bystanders"? There seems to be a double standard.

You realize you didn't even defend white nationalism. You just started attacking black nationalism and are using it as a justification. Probably why people consider white nationalists racist. Not to mention that white nationalist is just a politically correct term for white supremacist and nazzi. If someone is proud of their racism, they shouldn't be offended when called a racist.

BLM, like the BPP is not a national organization and differs from area to area which is why everyone has different views on them.

Maybe when 14% of the populations stops committed 52% of the murders, I will take black nationalists and BLM seriously. For now they just make me chuckle and cringe.

I agree. As a japanese ultranationalist, it sadden me to know nothing.

It's a good trend. The left seems to be doubling down on the hyperbolic slander. Soon they will have alienated every sensible American. "We're right, you're a racist bigot," is a terrible political strategy.

1 RespuestaNews Flash: Media outlets are one-sided based on what will draw them the most views. That's how they generate their revenue. Somewhere within the company is a person who reviews all potential articles and stories, decides which ones are going to generate the most "clicks" on the site or viewers to their channel.. and that's what they run with. Business will always come first in the modern corporate world. Even in the formerly sacred world of the press. Real journalism has been crushed under the weight of social media and click-bait headlines. It gets even worse when we're now in a time where people are actually receiving and BELIEVING everything that comes across their "news feed". So.. getting worked up over "Well the media is saying this, but not that!!" is pretty damn silly, Burr. You're assuming that the modern media has any sense of credibility and respected journalism left in it. It doesn't.

4 RespuestasIf I were to say I'm proud of my heritage, that would be acceptable. If I were to say I'm proud of being black, that would be acceptable. If I were to say I'm proud of being latino, that would be acceptable. If I were to say I'm proud of being white, that would be RACIST! What the literal -blam!-.

It's just another label created by radical liberals. It sure beats the Hell out of being called a national socialist or communist, so get over it.

Everyone has an equal opportunity to be a dumb ass.

9 Respuestas[quote]There seems to be a double standard.[/quote] Oh, there is. It's Marxist Class Theory. They identity two social classes - the Whites and the Blacks. There's an oppressor class and an oppressed class, and it's their duty to free the oppressed class from its chains by any means necessary. The oppressor class is just scum.

27 RespuestasI just don't get how you claim black liberation equals black nationalism. I'm sure that some people fall into both categories, but they are not the same thing.
