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

[DrX]

Something for nikkas to tell their kids "mommy and daddy were activists" when they get older. Like the Jena 6 shyt

just like 1960s civil rights gen....they wasn't doing nothing but begging for jobs and the chance to have sex with white people and we seen that in the 70s disco culture was all about IR hookups

if old nikkas were legit why wasn't they preaching economics. only dr Claude, X and the NOI was preaching shyt in the day. everybody else was on this equality bullshyt

The BLM has a lot of flaws... Yet at least, they're doing something. Same nikkas talking shyt, is the same nikkas not doing shyt, but hitting their phone screen, complaining on a forum.

It's sad these kids are starting from scratch, and it says alot about the older generation in the blk community.
If the following generation have to fight the same battles y'all did, then that means, y'all aint did shyt.
BLM is far from perfect, yet instead of tearing them down, why not suggest ways they can improve?

True. I aim to engage people in these conversations not to tear people down, but to build people up. I would hate to see something that has the possibility to truly change lives turn into a failure. I just don't want this generation to make the same mistakes the previous one did. I'm trying to put people onto game. Cause at this current point BLM is playing checkers with people playing chess.

There isn't really an end goal to it since anyone can co-op the BLM as their own. Some can do righteous shyt in its name, others can use it for their own political gain; completely open to whoever uses the tag's interpretation.

 

[FSP]

people just wanna get mad about something

 

[DrX]

its true, the OG civil rights movement was just a faux movement meant to pacify BP.... they were marching for "equality" aka jobs, the ability to be consumers, being about to get with whites

thats all it was, if it was really as great as the liberals told us it was, why are we going through the same shyt?

 

[Westcoastnative]

There's no end goal.

It's a leaderless, powerless, and an unorganized group.

 

[Unknown Poster]

It's just something cool to post. The vast majority of the clowns doing it, are in no way doing tangible things to make black lives matter

I don't want to seem condescending but when you have white people retweeting and reposting blacklivesmatter stuff and go back to doing nothing, it lets me know it's exactly that.

It seems to me like black people have a problem with everything. First the problem was that there isn't enough action, that the youth is lost, and too passive and too quiet. Even though we are still dealing with the bad hands that we've gotten from the previous generation. As if that's not bad enough, when so much of the black youth, show passion, commitment, and dedication to the cause, you guys now have a problem with it because it isn't EXACTLY what you want. You guys bash it, and belittle their efforts because it isn't perfectly aligned to what you think is ideal.

It's pitiful at this point. Call it what you'd like. The fact is, BLM has gotten more black people on the same page than any other movement since The Black Panthers. That's a fact.

You people are never going to be satisfied, and you are never going to understand that self accountability is the only way we can move forward. Instead of saluting the efforts of BLM, you all want to complain, and nitpick it's shortcomings, dissecting its flaws and making them out to be bigger than they are.

Black people are done for. There is no solution.

The nerve of some of you people. The fukking nerve.

As if standing around doing nothing for 30 years has done anything. Black people have made minimal progress. And the first movement of the social media era that directly brings attention to a black issue arrives, and you all want to bash it. Cowards.

This is why I refuse to be pro black anymore. Black people don't want action. You all want imaginary, la la land solutions that will NEVER happen.

Its an international activist campaign that was started by black people that campaigns against violence faced by black people. Things like: police brutality, racial profiling and racial inequality as it relates to the criminal justice system. On The Coli, though, its a movement that people regularly shyt on while they sit on their ass and do nothing.

How is it international though? Black people in America have their own problems that need to be attended to. Sure racial inequality is global, but why does it not address directly the problems attributed to white supremacy that creates global racial inequality?

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

@SJUGrad13 you seem either very involved with the movement or just very knowledgeable about them

I have an open mind
What should I know about them and what they are asking for and achieving that I h
Just don t know about ?

Before I start I'm not connected or affiliated with BLM; however I've been following the news/ Stories and their objectives. I already said earlier that they're a social movement in which their main objective is to change Judical laws in America, to make it equally fair. The court systems time and time again; have shown that they do not work equally along racial lines hence the quote " Black lives matter". It has to matter in reference to the Judical system. This is what their main issues are. You said something earlier about them not being effective. I completely and respectively disagree. Over the following year the following has happened.

1) Body cameras have become a requirement for police officers in American cities ( San Franscio leads the way, Portland Oregon, Seattle, NYC has increased their body camera surveillance systems; and Ferguson as well)

2) Stop and Frisk has been changed in the city that made it popular in the beginning ( NYC). Cops are still mad about this.

3) President Obama has stopped sending military style equipment to American police officers. Police in Los Angeles talked about their jobs maybe more difficult without military equipment.

4) Police are under the most scrutiny ever. This is fact, no longer do the police in most American cities have clout, to bully people and get away with it. This was known as the "Ferguson effect". Quoted by Jack Brennan!

5) The black lives matter protest strategy has led to other black people protesting events on their own. ( 1950 concerned students of Missouri). The Missouri protesters has said that they used black lives matter as a blueprint. The "1950 concerned student protest" trickled down to all of the campuses protest that you see now. I'll try to draw this out. ( Black lives matter)---> ( Missouri student protest)----> ( Campus protest led nationwide). Now you start to add gains in education and Law, there's been more progress then you may believe.

You asked why this happened? I explained it a little bit; however I could try to fill in the the fires that started this movement.

The first was trayvon Martin. Seeing George Zimmerman escape trial was so demoralizing.

Then you add the death of Eric Gardner ( Police gets off)

Death of Mike Brown ( Police gets off)

Tamir Rice ( 12 years old and it takes a year to even go to trial)

Death of Akai Gurley ( Cop gets off)

Death of Ezeli ford ( cop gets off)

All of these happened within 2 years of each other. And black people got frustrated. Hope I helped.

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)

This is most concise, accurate way I've seen it explained thus far.

your were never pro black to begin with, wheres your business at nikka?

 

[EndDomination]

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.

The group is focused on the murder of Black people at the hands of the police. They focus on online movements, protests, legislation, and political pressure.
There are hundreds of other organizations focused on the rest of that stuff. They're working with numerous politicians and legislatures alongside hardcore protests.
Don't listen to the c00ns on this site, 99% of them are sitting on the couch in their cum-stained sweatpants complaining about BLM while not contributing anything to the improvement of Black people as a whole.
The end goal is the prevention of killing by police, greater oversight, and a higher conviction rate for police officers who are killing our people.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

oh really, so what is their goal, and what is marching for the 400th time going to do? well besides getting us nothing for the 401 time?

Your lack of history knowledge and current affairs is really disturbing; but if I must explain again here we go.

Your statement " What is their goal", had already been answered. But let me explain

The American Justice system is unequal and unfair, in sentencing and policing. All "black lives matter" wants the Justice system to administer justice equally along racial lines. Hence the quote " Black lives matter". It has to "Matter" when it comes to policing, it has to " Matter" when it comes to sentencing, It had to " Matter" when it comes to drug laws and penalties. Again this is common knowledge to anybody who does basic research.

Your statement " what is marching for the 400th time going to do" ; doesn't give history the respect it deserves.

Protesting by Dr Martin Luther King and militants minds of protest by Malcolm X gave to the following.

1) Passage of the Civil rights act
2) Right to go any school of our choosing
3) fair housing act

4) What about the FDR racial protest. That led to African Americans getting middle class jobs in government work. Woodrow Wilson undercut this; but at least it was something

5) what about now?
A) Increase of Body cameras
B) Obama calls off militarization of police force
C) stop and frisk removal in certain cities ( NYC BEING THE BIGGEST)
D) what about the trickle down affect to college campuses ( which has led to diversity initivites amongst Ivy League schools. BTW Protesting allowed those black students to be at those Ivy League schools in the first place.

Stop trying to minimize historical success; as a person who doubled major in Finance and HISTORY. It's very offensive.
