BLM is racist. Stop pretending it isn't.

BLM is racist.  Stop pretending it isn't. | BLM movement isn't racist you say? So if a white criminal dies at the hands of a black cop and white people gather, to demand justice, chanting "white lives matter".... All of that will just go over fine, no one will be called racist? Didn't think so.  Stop pretending BLM isn't a racist group. | image tagged in smug gentleman,blm,racists | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

The “IF” is the main factor here. Anything else is conjecture.

It's because what the phrase "white lives matter" stands for it's not saying that white lives matter it's a dog whistle used by far right groups in order to make it sound like they aren't a far-right extremist.

BLM is a dog whistle for people who really mean black lives are superior in order to make it sound like they aren't a far left black supremist.

See how easy that is?

The problem with that is that it was never about other peoples lives not mattering on the other white lives matter is saying specifically that only white lives matter. Obviously there are some exceptions but in that case they are probably just ignorant of what their saying.

I'm sorry but when open neo-nazis are saying white lives matter to a movement that is mostly about agents of the state (police) being able to kill whoever they want whenever they want it's kindof hard to believe this isn't an alt-right thing.

Clarification: that police killing people is bad.

Cops killing people of any color without provocation is bad. No one would argue against that. Agreed.

I would also say judging an entire group of people for using the same common phrase as some fringe, lunatic supremacist group who they’ve probably never even heard of is also bad. Agreed?

As long as you also apply that to BLM I agree.

The problem with WLM is that it was made specifically to counter BLM and say that white lives are the only one that matters. It's not what the actual statement is it's the meaning behind it. I don't think that everyone that says "white lives matter" if a nazi.

Name a single time in America's history where black people were treated better than now.

Hell, there's even the single actual systemic racist policy, affirmative action, that BENEFITS them.

And yeah, when one group that comprises 13% of the population commits around 50% of all violent crime, there's going to be police interactions. Here's a real wild idea. Even if you think being stopped/arrested is unfair, DON'T RESIST ARREST. It is not your right. Deal with it after.

The best indication this is all bs is that after bodycams were introduced, all of a sudden black activists were calling for them to be abolished. Gee, wonder why?

Here's another idea. Instead of kneeling to increase awareness of police injustice, how about the NFL kneel to increase awareness of all their teammate's wives and girlfriends that get punched out by them?

I can't name a single time in American history where black people were treated better than they are now. There has been progress for sure, but we aren't done yet.

Affirmative action can be used by any race. If a white person wanted to go to a college that was predominantly black, had the grades, and needed the assistance, they that is what it is there for. Granted it is there to address the glaring inequality and lack of representation of African Americans at colleges, but that doesn't change the fact that it can be used by any race for any school where one race is not represented.

Don't resist arrest - George Floyd may have resisted, but he sure wasn't resisting when he died. Philando Castile did absolutely nothing wrong, we could go on...but what's the point.

I nearly got whiplash how quickly the anti-mask "you must not comply with an unjust law" crowd said "just do as your told and deal with it in courts". I guess I always thought "from my cold dead hands" wasn't referring to litigation. I know people who for years have railed against no knock warrants and said "if someone kicks in my door they are leaving in a body bag" - Breonna Taylor happens and suddenly we are doing the same thing - she should have handled it in court.

Black activists calling for body cams to be abolished? I doubt that. Bodycams protect both parties, provided the police turn them on and don't burry the recording. A quick search and I didn't see anyone asking for that.

NFL -> Ad Hominem Fallacy - you are attacking the person instead of the message.

Aren't done? Oh, right! It's not about equality anymore, it's now equity. A guaranteed result. LOL They can cram that commie crap.

All the top schools exclude whites and Asians in favor of lesser qualified minorities. I'd love any evidence any predominant black school accepted a white candidate over a black one with better grades. And it's not just schools. Now there's diversity hiring quotas at major corporations. Hiring one over another solely based on the color of one's skin. Sounds like the definition of racism to me.

Had he not resisted, would he have been restrained? No. Castile is the one example where he actually did nothing wrong that was protested. So, no, you can't go 'on'.

You can argue strawmen all you like. Taylor had an outstanding warrant, the cops KNOCKED, and the bf shot at the cops. Perhaps she shouldn't have been involved in drugs and driving dead bodies around in trunks?

Okay, google doesn't bring something up so it never happened. Unfortunately, I remember when it happened in real time. Tho to be fair, there are a ton of blm 'leaders' everywhere and they obviously don't agree on everything. But I do remember the cry for bodycams and then the pushback months later when the cameras failed to push the victimization narrative these activists were hoping for.

Oh, I see. Black lives matter but the National Felon League should get a pass on it's players beating women?

I'll reply to this utter trash.
Affirmative Action. I was in college with a black young man in my quad on campus. He and I had similar educational backgrounds, similar likes in Art and Sports. He got a full ride scholarship from a "black only" scholarship. My family was poorer and I merely got a few grants. I'm white as can be.

Castiles killer was acquitted... That's called the Justice System. It acquits people who aren't guilty. Here is an article from a leftist paper.

https://apnews.com/article/north-america-shootings-pa-state-wire-us-news-race-and-ethnicity-3efa22e639a24bee9b06e7ee8830b0d9

Taylor data... I'm not shaming a dead girl and no one else is either. She did that herself, with her poor choices, to be with a known criminal where things can turn south at any given minute. Drug dealers have to worry about other drug dealers and other criminals - more so than they have to worry about cops. Just look at all of the gang on gang murders yearly - vs police shootings. Where we might have 10-20 police shootings - there are hundreds upon hundreds of gang on gang murders. She chose to roll in that life and paid the price for it.

If a child came up to me and said a teacher was touching them - I would investigate the situation. If a good amount of the black kids suddenly started saying the teacher was touching them daily and were being systematically targeted for sexual touchings and that the school made it happen, regardless of how many black students were going to school daily and never being touched.... Yes, I would question that because the idea of it seems pretty far fetched.

In comparison to BLM... we have more black millionaires, more black CEOs, more black Mayor's, Congressmen, judges, jurors, Managers, trainers, investors, more black only assistance programs, and the only black president and vice president to be elected by a white majority populace.... Things that would NEVER NEVER ever happen in a systematically racist country. Black Lives Matter? Yes and the evidence is shown in the examples above. We don't need riots and protests and stolen products and destroyed businesses to understand that.

I can’t reply to your example. But correcting an imbalance will look like favoritism to someone who doesn’t see the imbalance.

If a gang had killed Taylor, then sure. She dated a drug dealer. Not a great choice but she wasn’t more. Everything else I’d just bias. You don’t want to address that cops lied for the warrant and that the only logical reason for them to fire is if they didn’t know it was the cops.

I think we have different meanings of systemic racism. It isn’t impossible to succeed as a blank person under systemic racism, it’s just harder. Chauvin wasn’t systemic racism- the da saying they probably wouldn’t file charges was. Same with Taylor. Just because systemic racism doesn’t fit the mold you think it should doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Because only racists talk about race? That’s a fun catch 22, but nobody is falling for it.
