Why Black Lives Matter movement is bullshit

But is that really what it's still about?

 

See the current movie "The Hateful Eight" before it leaves theaters. Director Quentin Tarantino is being boycotted by police departments because he used the word "murders" to describe police murders while he was at a demonstration against the New York City police.

Well you could volunteer to be on call. The main man to coax the knife wielding misguided soles out off the street. Just think of the good you could do, save the poor buggers life, save the cop from a frighting experience. Hell, show the world how it's done, a lesson in applied humanity. Probably make a wad in the process, guys like me would pay to watch.
But I have no suggestion what you do with the traffic held up for however long it takes to get your shinning example of compassion on the scene. Some dumb sob might get sick of the wait and just run his ass down with Detroit iron.

 

If people can use the rationale that we should not let in Syrian refugees because they fear one of them might be a terrorist, how can those same people not understand the fear that black people as a whole have of police because one of them might be a murderer?

 

Why would it be about anything different? People who want to bring up black on black crime are idiots because they are comparing apples to oranges. When a black person kills another black person where do they go? They go to prison or they are either killed by police. When the police officer kills an unarmed black man they get away scott free and nothing happens. That is a reason why people are protesting. It gets on my fucking nerves when people don't understand this simple distinction.

 

Susan G Komen stands for breast cancer awareness. Do you think they don't care about prostate cancer? Should we say all cancers matter? Those of you who say all lives matter are missing the point.

Again two words and a comma:

HELLO, Black lives matter TOO.

 

No. I get the initial intent and I agree with it, as previously stated. But ultimately, all lives matter. There have been large rallies that have been exclusionary of non-blacks. You will never convince me that behavior doesn't perpetuate the problem. You want t solve the problem, it's going to take a village.

 

I love straw man arguments.

 

If you think the BLM movement excludes white people you are sorely mistaken.

 

When did that occur?

 

So you went out to march with the BLM movement and were turned away?

 

There have been rallies that have been exclusionary. At least if I'm to believe some media reports. I don't believe everything I read, but the truth is always somewhere between the stories each side as to tell.

And then there's always those that choose to ruin it for everyone else, using a positive cause to further their own agenda.

 

Cool story. I didn't call the movement BS, for the record. As I have said, I'm all for the cause. But I believe all lives matter. But that somehow turns into a disagreement.

I understand the history of racism here in the U.S. I understand that plays into the mistreatment of all people of color, especially by law enforcement. And I understand there are still a ton of hillbilly racists living amongst us here today. But it goes both ways. And for those that think law enforcement simply oversteps its bounds simply out of racism or prejudice, if you think the end of racism ends police brutality or misjudgment, you're mistaken. Yes, racism is a big part of the problem. But there's a lot more to the problem than racism.

Sorry to those who feel I somehow called the movement BS by adding my perspective to a thread with such sentiments in the title. I was more offering support to the movement but also suggesting it's a much bigger issue, and something we should all discuss together.

 

Not me. My people came from outer space on a ship crafted from rocks and sticks.

Take that!

 

My kids (and wife) are far more attractive than that.

 

Ha! Yeah I read that DNA story. Now I want you to go to Scotland, there near the Skedaddle river and explain this to cousin Angus, the leader of the clan.
He would be interested in hearing your story. He enjoys a good laugh when he finds something funny. Of course you know, it was guys like him that prompted the building of
Hadrian's wall.
