Hawk Newsome BLM "If this country doesn't give us what we want we will burn down the system.."

This is getting pretty scary. He also doubles down on the statement made by Shaun King that white Jesus is a form of white supremacy which you can see in the video below.


president Hawk Newsome:

“If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.”

leader of Black Lives Matter's New York chapter on Wednesday said the movement was prepared to "burn down this system" if the U.S. does not work with participants to enact real change.

"If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it," said Hawk Newsome, chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, during an interview with Fox News. "I could be speaking figuratively, I could be speaking literally. It's a matter of interpretation."

Newsome went on to clarify that while "I don't condone nor do I condemn rioting," the measurable change that has occurred in recent weeks began in the wake of property destruction caused by rioters.

"This country is built upon violence," Newsome said, pointing to the American Revolution and modern American diplomacy as examples. "We go in and we blow up countries and we replace their leaders with leaders who we like. So for any American to accuse us of being violent, it's extremely hypocritical."

I don't allow this to anger me, and I pray for spiritual guidance for myself, family, and all of America. I am worried for the cities where these movements are taking place. What is this kind of behavior teaching the young generation of America? What are parents telling their children about this movement? I pray that America can come together and unite as one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Planned Parenthood stands with BLM. More black babies are aborted annually in NYC than born alive.

I have facts regarding police brutality which I'll post on another thread.

He needs prison time for sedition.

He's not wrong.

 

[Albion]

He's not wrong.

But his cover is definitely being blown.

 

[ZNP]

This is getting pretty scary.

He reminds me of Theudas in the book of Acts.

Jesus wasn't white.

With regard to the current uprising, I contend that the cry of "Black Lives Matter" is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of those in power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for African Americans. I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the treatment of African Americans by police has worsened over the last few years (e.g., abandoning consent decrees). It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that segments of our society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.

 

[Aldebaran]

He's not wrong.

He's certainly in agreement with those "protesters" who have been violent. He's just showing himself to be in their camp.

America was founded on violent protest. The whole country is in that camp.

 

[Sparagmos]

Our “founding fathers” committed sedition. That’s the problem here. We all support fighting back against an oppressive government. But we have different opinions on when and in what ways the government is being oppressive. I’ve been hearing for years that we have the right to own a gun because we may need to use it against our own government. The same people who talk about being ready to kill to protect their freedom are clutching their pearls over defaced statues.

Duration of the protest is turning to rebellion. If rebellion continues everyone in America will suffer. However if equality is not felt by the protest then the ability to protest will become no avail so the next step will be a militant movement.

Joining ties with other groups who want to topple the system. Therefore every American will be forced to choose a side. The horrid outcome is civil war will happen before the change protested for happens.

So the leaders will win and Americans will die. Which was the reason for the protest.

 

[FireDragon76]

He's not wrong.

He's not exactly taking a moral high ground, however. Basically his argument is more lex talonis.

 

[FireDragon76]

Jesus wasn't white.

That's debatable. The gene for white skin actually came from the middle east relatively recently.

I saw this myself. It is very concerning how anyone is buying this agenda. But they are.

As long as information like that is confined to sites such as CF, and never see the light of day in the mainstream media or the 6 o'clock news, no one will ever know about it besides us who are labeled as being on the fringe.

Youtube flags a video for dangerous and inappropriate content for saying "in this position white is always better". It is a video on a chess game discussing black and white pieces.

Well, we all know "white" is evil, whether it be white people, or white chess pieces. Makes me hate wintertime with all that evil white snow on the ground, with all its white privilege. Hey, maybe winter will be banned!

I agree.

Jesus wasn't white.

He was Jewish, correct?

While I can't think of any historian who would suggest that he looked like Barry Gibb (as many of the pop-culture, mainstream art would depict him as), but based on their consensus, he was a :

"Palestinian Jewish man living in Galilee"

If we just look at some other folks who fit that description...

Many would be considered "white guys" by most peoples' standards at first glance...or if they weren't wearing any religiously-identifying clothing, perhaps "light skinned Latino"

As an atheist, I don't have any skin in the game here, but I do know of the propensity of many folks to "create God in their own image" (when I believe the book says it's the other way around), so just about every culture with a large Christian contingent has their own version of "what Jesus looked like"

In any case, if anyone is trying to make a case for "race shouldn't play a factor", it would seem that bickering over "what color was Jesus" probably isn't a prologue to that message.

 

[Ana the Ist]

He's not wrong.

He doesn't seem aware that we also have a history of killing violent insurgents.
