"the movement."

RE: "the movement."
(November 16, 2016 at 4:55 pm)TaraJo Wrote: In general, it's more productive to talk about racial issues without bringing up the group Black Lives Matter.  Truth is, there's so much propoganda on both sides about that group that the conversations always devolve into bitch fests over what the group "really" is.  

Truth is, black people have been being killed by police (or "community watch volunteers") at an alarming rate.  And these aren't especially bad guys, either.  A lot of the ones killed never committed any crime or, at very least, not any crime worthy of being murdered.  Yeah, I mean, it was illegal for Eric Garner to sell tax-free cigarettes, but if tax evasion is a crime worthy of the death penalty, I'm terrified of the distopian world that we're currently in.

And it isn't anything new, either.  I mean, have you seen the race gap in prison populations?   I mean, black people are about 15% of the general population, but I think they're 40% of the prison population.  You don't get such skewed statistics unless something is seriously wrong.  Hell, have you seen comparisons on what happens when a white person and a black person both attempt to exercise their second amendment rights?  The result is are an ugly contrast:

But I also know there are radicals within the BLM movement.  They're the ones encouraging riots.  They're the ones encouraging killing police.  So it isn't fair to say that there aren't unreasonable, dangerous radicals within the movement, but it's equally unfair to claim that everyone within the movement or everyone who supports the movement supports violence or hate.  That would be kinda like judging all Christians by Westboro Baptist.
Well, that's the thing. I wasn't quoting some crazy right wing annalist. I quoted the BLM official website. It would seem the 'westbro baptists' or rather the radicals of the BLM movement are the the people still wanting to conform to America as it currently stands. The BLM site clearly outlines in a literal manifesto Demands the US government must make to appease the members of this movement.

Again BLM is not the BLM of Trevon Maritian or even Micheal Brown. It is morphed into a separatist group. again click on the link in the OP and read their words for yourself. If you want to call me racist for saying they want these things... then I just want you to know I am just relaying what their official website "Demands."
