Could somebody please honestly tell me what the end goal of #BLACKLIVESMATTER is?

[Unknown Poster]

I honestly am asking this with no trolling or BS involved.

Cause everytime I see this mentioned on here or on twitter or on tumblr, it always revolved around protesting against police brutality, marching, hashtag movements and not too much else.

I never see them discussing creating job opportunities to employ black men and women, anything regarding group economics, or anything regarding legislation or anything political that could change the lives of black men and women and children in America drastically.

And honestly everyone I talk to in real life that supports BLM has such a juvenile and elementary view of race relations that it legit pisses me off to talk to them so I just don't anymore.

BLM is a like you said, juvenile reaction to the bombardment of black killings by the hands of white law enforcement of which the killer is pretty much given a slap on the wrist or walks away unscathed. It's basically saying "Please accept us as one of you and stop hurting our people.. please!"

nothing, its just a SM trend and young kids wanting attention....first off even if they were serious (which they aren't) they would have to understand white supremacy and have life experience to demand the proper things

basically theyre lost and dont have older ppl to guide them, because the older ppl are lost themselves

It really seems like it.

Before it was about fighting against police brutality and injustice, then it started being about supporting black LGBT causes, then it turned into some BS about championing the rights of POCs and the people that I see on tumblr that are involved with it are championing too many causes at once. I don't even know what they're doing anymore.

Let me break this down as simply as I can. The police system in America is very unequal and unfair. Police get treated like they're above the law; and Caucasian Americans get easier and lighter sentences, for similar offenses in comparison to black people. The basis for black lives matter is that the Justice system should be administered equally across all racial lines. It has recently expanded to include stopping police brutality ( which exist) and Stop and Frisk laws ( Which still exist in big American cities). Black lives matter only deals with American Justice issues.

It seems white people attack them is because they cannot understand them. They don't understand why the justice system needs fixing ( it benefits them), why police are being scrutinized ( They treat white people better) and why people are trying to change court systems ( it's bias towards them in sentencing practices).

Some of their methods maybe flawed and unorganized; however they have proven to be effective. Ex: Stop and frisk leaves NYC, Police are now under heavy scrutiny, there's now major topics about reducing federal drug offenses.

In the end, Black lives matter represents a group of people ; black people predominately, who are tired of the BS. Here's a famous phrase that can sum the feelings black people have about the Justice system and police harassment. " IM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICKCAND TIRED" -Fannie Lou Hamer ( 1964 speech to US congress)

It's truly unfortunate that not only do we not know the end goal, but apparently they don't either.


The years coming to an end. shyt is still the same.
I hope for 2016 they are able to create a platform and list of demands.
Stop letting their high level of visibility go to waste.
It's not enough to just secure a meeting with *insert candidate or public figure here* if they can only scold and not articulate realistic expectations and demands.

also its about acceptance and equality even tho history has proven time and time again equality simply doesn't exist.

but black people refuse to make adjustments, we just keep touching the hot stove lol.....every other group woke ASAP ever they burned their hand and found a system to surive....not us, we just embrace anything that involve self destruction

and yeah yeah yeah i know, the system is made to make us destroy ourselves but god damn, its been happening for so long, why don't it dawn on nikkas that maybe something is wrong with this picture, why am I was a bottom feeder?
