So how is that BLM thing going?

[Ana the Ist]

any thing greater than zero is to many...or are you suggesting that there is a reasonable number for how many black people can be murdered?

Clearly there is....a couple thousand get murdered yearly and Black Lives Matter doesn't care about them.

So what's the number?

 

[Ana the Ist]

It says:

I read it...

What you're not looking at is how these young people actually interact with one another when they are not being "facilitated" by their elders.

Gen Z engages in activism regularly.

They don't protest this stuff though....they advocate for it.

 

[SilverBear]

Yup.




Well actually most of those incidents weren't murder.

so it's not murder if the person killed is black?

Did BLM show up to protest for him?

Do you even know who Trayvon Martin was?

What stereotype? That's a fact.

so you know what stereotype you used there, thanks for admitting that

Imagine addressing what I actually wrote.

I did address what you wrote.

Unless that job position is Supreme Court Justice...in which case, only a black woman can get the job.

Imagine addressing what I actually wrote.

People who work for a living.

Like Patrisse Cullors?

No, I'm judging by actions.

actions you are engaging in yourself

Why would I be?

just noting that you took our own advice

Her net worth is 2 million....she bought 3 million in houses. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out.

One of the Los Angeles properties cost $510,000 when Khan-Cullors purchased it in 2016. A second Los Angeles home ran her $590,000 in 2018, the Post reported. A suburban Atlanta property was purchased for $415,000 in 2020.

Yeah...and the families of other dead black people BLM profited off of.

evidence of profits?

Are they all racists too???

Can you actually name any black people they helped?

Sure, all I had to do was contact my local chapter and ask. Not that I expect you to bother doing he same.

BLM silent when confronted with data showing massive 2020 spike in Black murder victims

why were they being asked?

 

[SilverBear]

Her words, not mine.

do you?

...

and according to the FBI report Fox is talking about the states with the biggest increase in such homicides were: Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming Idaho and Iowa, these 5 states accounting for more than 40% of the spike. Meanwhile black homicide rates in New York, New Jersy, Massachusetts, California and Arizona all decreased in 2020. So we are back to my question

@SilverBear: to answer your question, though, BLM (the international organization) would have been asked that question for two reasons.

one, to point out that BLM's (again, the international organization) lack of interest in protesting black-on-black killings, because it does not suit their agenda, as the BLM founder have the aim of promoting Critical Theory (CT) and do not consider black-on-black crime relevant to that agenda of reforming western society based on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).

two, the Ferguson effect and defunding of police forces.

Ferguson effect - Wikipedia

the ideology of BLM (the organization) has always guided it and that ideology thinks that black-on-black crime can only go away once the existing system gets overthrown based on CT. to that ends, it has worked towards establishing CT with the deaths of George Floyd and others used as leverage for that purpose.

protesting black-on-black death would go off-brand for BLM (the organization).

do I think that the three leaders of the BLM organization personally cared and felt rage at the death of Floyd and others? yes, I do. but they have (and had) an objective and mourning black-on-black crime did not figure into it.

Citation?

Seriously? You can barely miss it in the news.

“It is such a trip to hear the term ‘990,’” Cullors said during an event Friday, according to the Washington Examiner. She was referring to IRS Form 990, which charities are required to file every year to disclose their financial activities.

“I’m like, ugh. It’s, like, triggering,” she added, saying that she “actually did not know” what the form was before “all this happened.”

BLM co-founder: Financial disclosures ‘triggering’ and ‘unsafe’

This lady should not be running a non-profit due to incompetence, not because of race.

 

[Ana the Ist]

As regards the report, you obviously have an opinion on whether it's racist or not. So you do know - and appear to find it not racist. Someone who does find it racist is simply rejecting your interpretation. Not agreeing on the matter doesn't mean you have different definitions or one person doesn't know what it means - it simply means that you disagree on the context in which the remark was made.

Context?

If you can't identify a racist statement without context you don't know what racism is.

 

[Ana the Ist]

so it's not murder if the person killed is black?

It's not murder if it's not legally murder.

Do you even know who Trayvon Martin was?

Yeah.

so you know what stereotype you used there, thanks for admitting that

I didn't mention any stereotypes....I stated a fact.

I did address what you wrote.



Imagine addressing what I actually wrote.

Why? You don't seem to know what the thread is about....you definitely have trouble reading my posts.

Like Patrisse Cullors?

I already said that running a full time scam basically is a job.

actions you are engaging in yourself

I don't run scams.

just noting that you took our own advice

Which advice?

One of the Los Angeles properties cost $510,000 when Khan-Cullors purchased it in 2016. A second Los Angeles home ran her $590,000 in 2018, the Post reported. A suburban Atlanta property was purchased for $415,000 in 2020.

Thanks for proving my point. If you had chosen an article from this year... you'd know she also bought the one that was 1.4 million.

Not bad for only having a net worth of 2 million. Where do you suppose the extra money came from?

evidence of profits?

Roughly 80-90 million unaccounted for.

Sure, all I had to do was contact my local chapter and ask. Not that I expect you to bother doing he same.

Don't have a local chapter...

Who did they help? Name and location please.

 

[Ria23]

@SilverBear: how would a local chapter know anything? other than the gossip that they might have heard of that they probably wouldn't share with snoopy outsiders.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

To be blunt, within the culture deliberately having children by different fathers is method of developing multiple income streams. It has become part of the culture.

And that culture is not race dependent, My upstairs tenant who is black just kicked the white mother of his last two children out due to her unwillingness to do anything for them beyond being their mother. Unfortunately she has five now and he has six, but he has actually made an effort and paid significant child support. Ultimately, everything I have seen says that I will continue to support him in that he is attempting to rise out of the culture.
Interestingly I have to say, that his mother and I have become friends. While the Baby momma culture exists, it is not appreciated by the older generation and so hopefully will not continue.

A racist precinct?

Yup

 

[Ana the Ist]

Yup

And which precinct is that specifically?

That's all you can do. You can't actually delete a post.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

evidence of profits?

That is the problem. There is no evidence. No paper trail. Nothing that tells anyone where all the BLM donation money went or how it was spent. All I know is that I have not seen a dime.

Sounds like a deflection to me. Regardless of the statistics, why is BLM silent on black on black killings? Sure, they pop their heads out everytime a white cop shoots a black man. That is how they make money. But nothing more. Honestly, how much has BLM actually improved black lives? Seriously, I am asking you to think critically and show some level of independent thought. Where is BLM now? I would argue that the organisers are sitting high on the hog while the useful paws are angrily awaiting the next opportunity to go screaming in the streets.
