I always wonder why BLM is defined a "divisive," its as if there has been real; unity, reconciliation, compromise and tolerance to begin with. Trayvon Martin and Micheal Brown are the poster child for those who oppose BLM efforts. These two cases offer the most opportunity for conjecture and speculation while at the same time distracting us from the many, many , many other cut and dried cases of excessive and deadly force against unarmed Blacks who were not a threat at the time of their death at the hands of law enforcement.
Please show real stats for what you state from a vetted legit and fairly done accurate source
Blacks kills blacks at rates off the chart ..
Police shootings of minorities when placed in context are miniscule
Stop telling yourself untrue stories... stating them so many times they become your truth
When I worked the ghetto of sla my stops were 99 percent minorities.. causes of action the same
If you were white you were a lost tourist or a dope dealer scoring...and you would get pounced upon so quickly by radiocars you would think a police convention was happening
What I find funny about defenders of blm is that the thugs ARE laughing all the way to the bank... few of you would last one second around blm thugs... now that's real.
BLM would probably not exist if it weren't for one particular "white devil man". Soros gave them more than $30 million in seed money to start up that movement and has been financially backing them ever since.
There's good money in race baiting and shaking down whitey as Sharpton and Jackson have proved. BLM is just the next bunch with their hands out. If we had a normal economy these people would be hustling for jobs, instead they've found how lucrative stirring up racial hatred can be.
It's NOT to deny that there are injustices and wrong doings to Black people in many cases and it's not to deny that there's corrupt officials but Black Lives Don't Matter only works to incite a race war. Screw these people.
Ok new rules.
We will take your entire family tree, subject them to the brutal oppressive acts for the next 200 years. Ensure that all of their educational professors are of the opposite race. Make sure that you pray to a god of the opposite race. Make sure that you are policed by majority of the opposite race.
When it's over, we will still deprive you of education, funnel you into the hood, and marginalize you every time we get a chance. Some of your people will move on to become circus act entertainers and sports stars but not become political affiliates to help the communities. Some of your bourgeoisie compadres will not want to associate with the lower class. Your president, although from the very fine city of which you gun down your people on the dailee, will do absolutely nothing for you.
After 245 years, let's have this conversation again over some dirt sake.
The reason why you can't get it through your thick skull is that black people are part of a system that will take generations to reverse. You don't breed animals and expect them to change overnight. Why would expect humans to change overnight? What do black people own in order to provide and pass down to their future?
So yes, black folks do what they do and if they do the crime, they will do the time. But the question is, what system is in place that is creating all of this violence? Do blacks just up and say- "hey, I feel like killing another dude cause I need a quick fix"?
How could he have an open civil discussion with Black Lives Matter when all they do is shout and refuse to listen to reason?
How long does it take for a psychologist to treat a PTSD client? Overnight?
Blacks suffer from mental illnesses. I am black and will be the first to say it. We have issues. The need to want to spend $200-$500 on sneakers when you don't even have enough money to pay for rent is an epidemic across the black community. White kids that are not from the hood don't have to worry because their parents pay for them and they end up in good schools anyway- and straight into working class societies. White kids didn't get shot and jumped in the 80s for Jordans unless they were in the hood. What was jordan doing for the communities when kids were getting killed for his own sneaker brand?
Here's how I see it: I want to like blm - I agree that there are racist policies that should be stopped (the war on drugs for example). However, in the days and weeks after the Mike Brown shooting, I was skeptical of the "hands up don't shoot" story. I stupidly expressed my opinions to my fellow liberals only to be called a conservative, on the wrong side of history, etc. So to me, as a skeptical person who is in pursuit of the truth, my critical thinking has come in conflict with some of the specific narratives I'm supposed to believe in order to be on the side of blm. If blm wants to say I'm not on their side that's their problem, their loss. So for this reason, they don't have the support they would have if they acknowledged the evidence of reality even when it's inconvenient.
If the blm crowd in general had this attitude, they would have much more support. But no, they call Jonathan Capehart an "uncle tom." Again, it is their loss.
It's NOT to deny that there are injustices and wrong doings to Black people in many cases and it's not to deny that there's corrupt officials but Black Lives Don't Matter only works to incite a race war. Screw these people.
It's not just BLM. There's countless white nationalists/supremacists wanting a race war, and some are making threats on social media.

No one is surprised that thugs kill black people, on the other hand it is astonishing that you would compare police shooting to criminal activity. I now understand your logic, gang members do it, so lets give cops a pass when they do it.
In a year where police in America kill 1000 people, Europe records no police killing
Thats the bigger story that BLM will shine the light on is police killing in general as a method of law enforcement. I'm surprised that there is no White Lives Matter movement since most of those killed by police are white. The hatred of Black people in American has cause people to turn their backs on their own humanity.

I don't disagree with that but the problem with BLM is that they further add to that issue and the guise that they're trying to "liberate blacks from the oppressor" and they themselves become the racist they hate. BLM wants separation instead of integration and constantly feel they are owed something. To them Black lives only matter.

Doesn't mean Europe doesn't have a plethora of other injustices though.
