Have any of y'all gone to the Black Lives Matter website?

[End Cruelty]

Really it's a whole bunch of nothing; an organization, if you want to call them that, with no primary agenda, no foundation, just nothing but ignorance. They say black lives matter; but they represent other ethnic groups and personal sexuall preference groups. There is no agenda behind it, but to cause confusion. You ask them what are you marching and protesting for and what is your agenda, they all have something different to say, there all confused. Which is the plan.

There are people missusing money in that group and they took a trip to Isreal with the money they raised from the killing of Michael Brown. They interrupt gatherings with ignorance and scream black lives matter.

The civil rights movement had an agenda and everybody was on one a chord and knew what the agenda was and what was being fought for.

This whole scheme is just to cause confusion and make black folks look like idiots; they do not represent me and they do not represent the majority of other blacks I know

I respect almost everything you're saying but you are romanticizing the original civil rights movement. Not everyone was on one accord, breh. BLM does seem awfully catchall tho.

BLM is playing checkers still.

They're playing checkers, but 90% of black people aint playing the game at all. Which our problem breh. Im not criticizing BLM, for anyone. Because at least their doing something, or trying to.

Spoiler: some of the principles

-We are committed to acknowledging, respecting and celebrating difference(s) and commonalities.

-We are committed to fostering a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking or, rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual unless s/he or they disclose otherwise.

-We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially “our” children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable.

-We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a necessary prerequisite for wanting the same for others.

These are just a few

Queer-affirming network?

Disrupting nuclear families?

Need not qualify our position?

What that's basically saying is: Ride for the gay community, continue to promote single parent households that already plague the black community, and provide no solid basis to the 'movement' besides chanting and begging.

What a joke.

Only an idiot would fall for their okie doke. You can sum up everything they have to say with "we are against traditional black family structure" and "I want white people to like me".

This shyt is against black individualism and self-determinism. I don't give a shyt about what whites people think.

But anyone against the black family is against me.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

It means they don't care and are also advocating that we don't assume people are straight (as opposed to assume people are gay). At least, that's how I interpreted it.

This.

They don't want to alienate the hipster white people...most of whom are all about gay rights and shyt.

capitalism is about money ....if u don't got none, nobody ain't giving u shyt....nikkas think human rights are for free and in the US and clearly they aren't, u have to buy your human rights....that's what every group do, they cant fukk with u if u have a strong community and u can buy politicians and police departments off ... we don't have any protection, were just a bunch of individuals and being a non white individual don't work in america,

The family thing is certainly worth further speculation.

However, the need to not qualify your position is fighting fire with fire imo. White supremacy as a system justifies pride (for an activist) that doesn't require explanation. It's overall about solidarity. I do believe it will be fruitless without political and economic action tho

This is beyond capitalism. The funds are a tool. But breh...freedom is free of the need to be free. Anyone that doesn't accept that is truly lost in my book. How can you sit here and accept a world where you must buy your rights?! That is backwards. You dont buy rights. You're born with them and if they are threatened you move or kill for them. It's that simple, no matter who you are.

blm is joke = fraud = don't believe = systematically controlled by people that are not Black

 

[Ol’Otis]

Economic empowerment is nothing without solidarity and a focus on ingenuity. If you aren't part of the movement the start your own financially driven activist group (if you haven't already). I didn't ask what they should be doing. I asked if you agree with it. Groups that spread awareness are not the answer but they are necessary in some cases. If you feel inspired by what they haven't done, have they not fulfilled their purpose as advocates for black lives?

That's why it's called group economics
It's chess not checkers


Oh and my bad naw I don't agree with it
But the 3 lesbians who founded the group are nowhere to be found

 

[Ol’Otis]

Why should they be focused on economic empowerment when that's not their stated goal

Cause money talks
Has been anything been able to get done in this country without a certain group having their finances in order

I'm not romanticizing the civil rights movement; that's an opinion you have. Yeah they were on one a chord; the people that participated all knew what they were fighting for. Everybody did not agree with it, but they got what they wanted; accomplished by being together and having an agenda.

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

Some horse shyt "movement" without an actual agenda to benefit black people.

Meanwhile you allow gays and whoever else to piggyback onto it...

nothing there but illusions

breh you're living in a false existence...in america everything is for sale, including your basic human rights, your health care, food, land, water and probably air in the future

no money , no community = u working min wage, getting shot by the police, u being disrespected

Muslims get it, they know america don't fukk with them, the first thing they do is buy as much shyt as they can and put everybody on....meanwhile nikkas want to be an individual and wonder why they can't prosper.
