Take a look at pictures of BLM protests and what do you see? Mostly young white hooligans causing problems, not black protesters.

Let's look at the defund the police movement. What is the black community asking for?

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Black Americans a bit more likely than most other groups to see police locally
  • Still, most (81%) want police to spend same amount of or more time in their area
  • Big racial gaps seen in views of police fairness, perceived bias
Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence

It is the young white hooligans that are calling for defunding the police and tuning black communities into lawless waste lands. The black communities are calling for reforms for the police and rightly so. White families suffer just as much as black families at the hands of trigger happy poorly trained police. How many have seen this story?

Or look at this story

It's not blacks that are destroying their communities, but these young white hooligans.

Most of what I've said is anecdotal so I'll close with one set of hard facts.
"Black Americans account for 17% of those who say they attended a protest focused on race or racial equality in the last month....."
Recent protest attendees are more racially and ethnically diverse, younger than Americans overall

The BLM website explains it all.

The media narrative is that blacks support the policy demands of BLM. Celebrities such as LeBron James and other athletes make it appear that their policy objectives have wide support in the black community. In fact they do not.

Polling clearly shows that blacks don't support defunding the police. They want more police in their neighborhoods, likely with some different tactics. That's a far cry from defunding police, which seems to have support only from the loudest voices in the black community and white liberals.

I saw polling out the other day that indicates that young blacks, particularly men, do not believe the Democrats have their best interests in heart. While they favor the Democrats, they have a much more positive view of the Republicans compared to older blacks. The GOP trails among young blacks by less than 10 points while it trails older blacks by 60 points. That suggests to me that there is a significant number of young blacks who don't buy into the liberal narrative about racism in the Republican Party and in doing so are questioning whether the Democrats have been good for their communities. While not per se a rejection of BLM, it shows that BLM's agenda has shaky support at best.

As for all the white people at these protests, it's clear they're radical revolutionaries who see an opportunity. They're just using blacks to push a radical socialist agenda.

For some reason, the media often likes to find a balck person or a few black people in the crowd and place them in the forefront of any picture of protesters. If one takes only a cursory glance, one will not notice that the black person or the few black people in the forefront are surrounded by almost exclusively white faces.

In truth, we see both. The Black Lives people are steadily becoming black separatists, so I suppose it follows that it's becoming easier for onlookers to notice that the two races are separated, even in a riot.

Let's look at the defund the police movement. What is the black community asking for?
...for an end to police protection for the citizenry, unless it's a case of the black community needing help when victimized by crime.

It is the young white hooligans that are calling for defunding the police and tuning black communities into lawless waste lands.
It's not just the white hooligans. However, it does appear that many blacks, and particularly black businessmen and women, are also being victimized by BLM.

But for some reason they do not speak out about it very much or else the media don't find that to be of enough interest to warrant reporting it.

It's not blacks that are destroying their communities, but these young white hooligans.
BLM does definitely seem to have made common cause with (the almost totally white) Antifa, however. That was a big mistake on their part. Still, it is not too surprising, considering that both organizations are Marxist in origin.

"BLM" is not the problem, the problem is that 155 years after the Civil War followed by another century of "Jim Crow," "Black" Americans are continuing to struggle politically, economically and socially because the nation has never complerely come to terms of treating them as equals in their own country!

Given that America's "visible" minorities are projected to become the new majority by 2050, one would assume that after 400 years in power, even at this late date it would probably be in the best interests of the future "White" American minority to recognize and finally solve these grievances, not ignore and further add to them!

Their grievances?
They keep claiming "systemic racism", even though they occupy offices of every level of business and government, including the Supreme Court and 8 years of the presidency. They even get to start organizations that are racist and exclusive while claiming they don't have the freedom to even be "equal". Black entertainment Television, Black news channel, Ebony Magazine, Bounce TV, etc. Even a "Black National Anthem". Sure, try doing "white" versions of those things and see what happens. That's not seeking equality. It's seeking favoritism--and then still claiming unfairness when they get it. And have you noticed that nearly every TV commercial has black people in them, and yet they still claim to be under-represented? A quick Google search shows that blacks make up 13.4% of the US population. It would seem that they're being over-represented, and yet they still claim "systematic racism".

Instead of grievances, how about the black community start appreciating what they have instead of listening to those who tell them to demand more than their fair share?

LeBron and other athletes have even bigger issues,
Hawley accuses LeBron, Nike, NBA of profiting off slave labor in China
They are being exposed as hypocrites.
The NBA's position on China has been nothing short of evil. They banned criticism of China among their employees. Meanwhile, they're sending coaches over to a basketball academy in China that treats players like slaves and abuses them. No criticism of that is allowed. They played pre-season games within miles of slave labor concentration camps, all without comment.

Have you looked at what Pres. Obama said the problem was?

But if we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that what too many fathers also are is missing — missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.

You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled — doubled — since we were children. We know the statistics — that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.

Text of Obama's fatherhood speech

The black family survived slavery and the Jim Crow era, but not the Democrat's Great Society.
Black America Before LBJ: How the Welfare State Inadvertently Helped Ruin Black Communities

You fail to understand the ramifications of 2050 and what it means to the black community. Yes, we will be in in the minority in our own country. But do you realize that blacks will be outnumbered 2:1 by Hispanics and what that means? Blacks will also be out voted 2:1 by Hispanics. Hispanic interests are not the same as black interest. For example Hispanics played no part in slavery or in the Jim Crow Laws of the Democratic South. They would not support reparations of any kind for blacks.

Let's look at the relationship between the black and the Hispanic community. Prison in a microcosm of our society. "The riot involved 300 white and Mexican inmates fighting against 100 Africa-American prisoners and started around 9.45 a.m. in the unit which houses 1,250."
400 inmates fight at Arizona prison: Race-riot breaks out injuring 19 people | Daily Mail Online

The people that are terrorising the black community of Los Angeles are not fat white bubas in bedsheets.
More ‘Ethnic Cleansing' Violence Hits Los Angeles

I think this is an example of what blacks have to look forward to in the upcoming years.
"Others, however, read that success story and see little more than a Miami spin on that oldest of American problems: race relations. “Now Cubans are in power and blacks are still second-class citizens,” said Miami attorney H.T. Smith, a prominent activist in black causes. “And they have shown no intention of sharing that power.”
Black, Cuban Racial Chasm Splits Miami

Let's look at those Jim Crow Laws and the lynching that occured in the South. Those laws were written by Democrats. In those horrific pictures of the lynching of blacks they are surrounded by white people that brought their children to see it. Those white people are Democrats.

A little reminder of Black History. Who founded the Klan? Democrats. Who stood in the doorway at Ole Miss? A Democrat. Who controlled the dogs, clubs, and firehoses in Alabama? Democrats. Who ordered the wiretapping of Dr. King? A Democrat. Who filibustered the Civil Rights Act? Democrats. Who supports open borders so that blacks will be outnumbered and out voted 2:1 by Hispanics? Democrats. Who ordered the integration of Little Rock High school? A Republican.

I would like for you to think about these words from a black minister, Bishop E.W. Jackson
