so what is the point of the organization then? all it is, is a snappy name on twitter. Obama caught flack when he said that but he's right, not a full organizational like those I listed.
To pick up where those organizations fell off. What were your expectations of BLM?

For starters, how bout NOT using the deaths of Black men and women to gain notoriety and profit and then turn around and admonish black men and the black nuclear family while promoting an LBGT agenda. :unimpressed:
Who’s death did they gain profit off of? And how did they profit off of it?

It usually takes a few years for a social movement devoted to revolutionary change to sell out and corrupt itself, inevitably ending in futility and disgrace. This one happened in the blink of an eye.

The people who took it upon themselves to register the hash tag as some kind of legal organization and start collecting money. And paying themselves a salary.

These people are crooks from the gate. They only ever intended to enrich themselves.

The philosophical concept of Black Lives Matter is still as strong as ever. Its true. And I'm a Black motherfukcer who has to live in this sick ass world.

So its just splitting hairs to conflate

the human garbage who seeks to profit off of misery

[shady people who collect donations and pocket them. The "BLM" organization of whatever type]

with the ideal that ordinary individuals are fighting to achieve by protesting and speaking out

[the statement that we matter and we gonna show y'all we matter. Black Lives Matter]

Didn’t half of them off themselves?
I stopped checking a while ago but seemed a lot more drama than it’s worth?

Serious question.

What was all that marching and protesting supposed to stop from happening? Like it was supposed to stop whom from doing what exactly?

it brings attention to what they were marching for, what do you think MLK did when he had marches and sit-ins, to bring attention to jim crow and segregation. The difference is he went to washington to demand what he wanted.

We can talk all day long about starting our own movement, but who's gonna fund it? Who's gonna be the leader? Are we going to have infiltrators and agents among it? And are we gonna be on and stay on code?

Realistically, if black people joined all over the world and started our own movement it won't be too long til these cacs will find a way to dismantle it. Label it a "terrorist group" or call it "black supremacy".
