The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world.

That's hilarious. Now I've seen everything.

It would be more appropriate to require the BLM to pay for all of the damages caused by their riots than to nominate them for the Nobel peace prize.

I hear it’s a mostly peaceful movement .

So who gets the million bucks in prize money?

 

[Sketcher]

Violent riots should disqualify anyone for such a prize.

I hope it doesn't win. It's too polarizing. My biggest problem with BLM is that it doesn't help itself by always standing up for individuals with significant criminal records. Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and Jacob Blake were far from squeaky clean.

I hope it does win..... would prove to a lot of people something about the award and why Obama got one.

 

[Hank77]

I don't see where BLM has done anything to bring about peace.

Why did Obama get one? I forget.

Why did Obama get one? I forget.

I forgot too.

A highly effective drone program, I think.

I thought the Nobel Peace Prize became a joke when Barack Obama got one for being President while black.

How totally WOK to disregard the facts and make a decision on based on race alone.

Seems like a no brainer. I know a lot of people have a problem with black lives matter. They say it's about the riots. But then they also had a problem about it when it was just black people kneeling, or black people saying "hands up don't shoot", in fact they had a problem when it was just people saying "black lives matter".
There's something about that phrase that makes people mad, which is very unfortunate and shows why such a movement is important.

Allow me to address some of those issues, people do not like to be played for fools, BLM has nothing to do with saving black lives, it is a very clever title for a group that is political and very anti police and very pro Marxist, the name is totally dishonest. This movement is responsible for millions of dollars in property damage, theft, and it is responsible for countless assaults and a few murders. The "hands up dont shoot" propaganda is a flat out lie, his hands were never up and he was shot for very justifiable reasons. This has all been investigated and proven but that does not stop the use of a lie to excite people to do violence and get free tennis shoes.

Some of those things are true, some are untrue and some are half true and you can make those kinds of points (both the true, untrue, and half true) about any movement from anytime from anywhere.
There's something about saying black lives matter in particular that brings out the "well actually" crowd.

It is their blatant dishonesty about what they are about.

Which items are not fully true? Lets not deal in generalities if you have an exception to what I posted be specific

Apparently, it's an award for people with no brains.

I guess when I think about the Nobel Peace Prize I think about peace on a larger scale than peace between American minority communities and the police.
