You're judging the entire BLM movement by the words and actions of its worst members. This is how humans dehumanize and demonize other humans. You're also posting videos which make misleading and false claims. It's true that black people are arrested and incarcerated at higher rates than white people; but it's appalling to blame this on the black community.
This is the sort of thing that black people have to deal with:
"...no one I talked to who has done criminal defense work in Alabama was surprised by the allegations, and all had negative things to say about Dothan, Houston County, and District Attorney Doug Valeska in particular. (Valeska has been DA there for more than 20 years.) One prominent defense attorney in the state says the county is so rife with racism that he had advised black clients to take plea bargains even when they have corroborating witnesses, simply because white jurors there just tend to assume that black people are lying." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-...black-men/)
These videos also repeat the "racist and patently false narrative amplified by mainstream media that the majority of black fathers are scurrilous beings who are locked up and tuned out, low on education and high on weed..." http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/...her_s_day/
This is how you should view BLM. From George Chidi, a black man who marched in a peaceful protest on the night of the Dallas tragedy:
"If one truly believes police brutality against black people must end, the absolutely single worst thing one could do is commit a spree killing of several police officers at a police brutality protest. It is atavistic, anarchistic, sociopathic evil. We marched today, in peace. We protested like citizens. We sought healing, and justice. All of that was stolen from us today. I can't actually think of a better way to make every cop in America more likely to reach for their gun the next time they stop a black man who looks twitchy. This is a disaster -- for the honored dead, for their families, for the police in general, for black lives, and for the state of our democracy. We are beyond politics today."
A Gemma is forever.
