Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, gave an interview to Teen Vogue magazine. Excerpt from that interview...
Quote:
Teen Vogue: Many people — including black people — say "Black Lives Matter doesn't do enough to speak about intraracial violence." What do you say to that?
Cullors: Every community has crime and violence; it's a part of being human. This idea that black communities are more violent than others is just false. But black folks fight the hardest for our communities. Before governments do, before other people do, we're the first ones to show up. We are the first ones to fight for our lives.
And then there's this quote by Cullors:
Quote:
I have never felt the grips of patriarchy and its need to erase black women and our labor...so strongly until the creation of Black Lives Matter.
Poor cities, no matter what color the people there are, supposedly have higher numbers of violent crimes than more affluent cities, but not a higher percentage of violent crimes than poor rural areas that generally have more white people. So I understand that point of view.
We discussed something similar in my sociology class way back in 1992. That's all I remember, but it made sense.
Denial and delusion. And now they have 40 chapters across the globe.
It's going to get worse before it gets better folks.
Teen Vogue. lol. Rich Manhattan/ NYC/maybe LA phonies,
Just the fact that so many of these groups have funding from so many rich companies says alot about this "rebellion"
How many of these black lives matter leaders or funders want a housing project in their neighborhood or even live near the black poor and where is all this 100 million dollars going to? Certainly not to the neighborhood, the "hood" or most of the protesters?
People are getting very wealthy off black lives matter?
The Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.
That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.
This is an enormous amount of money?

No. It's not just the crime statistics. But poor people, black and Hispanic people are much quicker to throw adult tantrums that result in "peaceful protests" turning quickly into physical actions that result in riots of fisticuffs, rock throwing and damage to innocent people's cars and storefronts. It's not just a few criminals amongst them taking advantage of these situations and using them as cover for looting and pillaging. Basically, the poor feel that they have nothing, so it's okay to break someone else's possession. And it's why poor neighborhoods look so broken and rundown and with trash everywhere on the streets. They just don't care.
And it's why it's a bad idea to try to integrate poor families into richer ones with Section 8 programs. The chronically poor people's low values and morals just bring everyone around them down into the gutter with them.

I hadn't considered the psychological aspect. I know better, too. I'm from the South and we learned in that same Sociology class that a lot of poor blacks in the South live with a condition called 'Learned Helplessness' that has been passed down to them over the generations from when their ancestors were slaves.
There's also the aspect of blacks having a very macho culture (just like the Hispanics). In the black ghetto neighborhoods, it's so important to have "street cred". If one is not seen as being physically tough, then one is bullied and disrespected. It's very difficult to reason with people like this as their first instinct is not to listen, but instead shout someone down. Their method of defense is to go immediately on the offensive. And then, with all the talk about reparations, under the cover of any chaos or distractions, they feel justified in looting as part of the ongoing reparations package.

This has to contain some of the most offensive and false generalizations I have ever had the displeasure to read.
