The problem with BLM is that they have no good leadership and have no strategic end-game to what they're doing. Even though there is obviously a larger black-on-black crime problem in big cities, I'm fine with them addressing police brutality issues, but the way they're going about it makes no sense.
All of their major protests have led to major destruction of BLACK neighborhoods and businesses. Whenever they setup these kinds of rallies, they know it will bring out rioters but they don't speak against that or try to prevent it. They've blocked highways and stores, disrupting citizens' lives. Tactics like that cause them to lose any support they may have gotten.
It be one thing if they demonstrated in front of city hall or a police station, and had an endgame of talking to the police chief to voice their concerns and come up with solutions, but like I said, they have no leadership. Just being angry isn't going to solve anything, and in fact has turned off any potential supporters and fired up the opposition, which has led to increased poll numbers from conservatives who want nothing to do with them. I'm just a lay person and I can see how flawed their strategy is.
BLM is not some organic group that fights for the rights of Black people. They're not the civil rights movement of the 2010's. They're unwitting pawns doing to dirty, ground work of old, rich, White men like George Soros. They're funded by people/organizations that hate our country & our freedom.
People saying their problem is that they're not organized and have no central leadership are off -the-mark. That's part of what makes them so dangerous & why they should be named a terrorist organization (hopefully Trump will get that done). There's no accountability. They can organize to march in your neighborhood, smash shop windows, loot, delay interstate transit and injure dozens of police officers and there's no recourse. No one to sue. No assets to take. No leaders to jail. This is no accident of course, the finest legal minds at the White think tanks plot their every move for them.
They're a fringe group. Most Black people I know don't support them. Most Democrats I know don't support them. If they're a part of the 2018 mid-terms or 2020 presidential election, it will spell disaster for the D's.
Last I checked, no BLM protester committed an act of terror by ramming their car into a crowd of counter protesters.
The purpose of BLM has been explained more times than I care to remember, but most of you don't care, anyways. You see "black" anything and it's enough to set you off.
American's had a negative view of those protesting the Vietnam War also but they were right. Many American's had a negative view of those protesting "separate but equal" also.
A white nationalist terrorist killed a protester and injured dozens of others and you're complaining about reparations?
Yeah, speaking of not taking someone seriously.
I was responding to this thread topic which has nothing to do with white nationalists. I responded in the Charlottesville thread also. See how that works? I also responded to the redneck thread. Was I supposed to bring up the horror in Charlottesville there too?
I guess our feelings were supposed to be hurt or something? Americans had negative views of the civil rights movements and MLK too.
The liberal tactic is to compare BLm to the civil rights movement of the 60s. It's not working and most people see it is not the same thing
