I saw that coming a mile away. As soon as Biden got elected, the movement came to a screeching halt."Black Lives Matter!" True only for politicians during election cycle.
Well the media came to a screeching halt and any actor will tell you how quickly they become irrelevant without publicity,.I saw that coming a mile away. As soon as Biden got elected, the movement came to a screeching halt.
Yep...I called it over two years ago. The politicians capitalised on the movement because it was politically convenient. But after the 2020 election, support for BLM, both the movement and the organization, was dropped like a cheap prom date.I saw that coming a mile away. As soon as Biden got elected, the movement came to a screeching halt.
He was stoned out of his mind. Again, whole situation would have been avoided if he had made better life decisions. Like not doing drugs.Interesting what came out of refusing a car ride... for him and the world.
Racism has been asserted so much it no longer has any credibility. When everything is racism it hurts the cause where it actually exists
I'm sure someone will say that society gave him no choice but to self medicate.Again, whole situation would have been avoided if he had made better life decisions. Like not doing drugs.
Once upon a time in a land real real close, the concept was to eliminate the concept of race and see all as humans and judge them by character. But I guess it wasn't useful in promoting causes related to self interest and now race is back in the picture as a useful tool, at the hands of those who once wanted to break free of the distinction. A different generation that cancels history and as a result are easily led. It's too bad.True...because "racism" is now anything the left doesn't like. So it isn't "everything".
It sure got me thinking hard about how much society has failed black Americans. And the problem isn't "systemic racism" or some nameless/faceless white supremacist trying to keep the black man down.
Unless you are a BLM organiser, you ain't getting a dime. Even as a black man, I have seen zero BLM dollars put toward improving the lives of my family or my community.
Multiple violent crimes and robberies, drug use, resisting arrest, counterfeit money. Cops didn't arrest George Floyd for no reason. Not defending what the police officer did. Just noting that it was completely preventable had George made better life decisions.

That's what I thought. It would be foolish of someone going out in the rain without an umbrella to blame the rain if they get wet.
So what are your thoughts of the BLM organisation?
So other than merely getting people to "think" and "ask questions," could you please tell me how the movement improved my life? I am asking because I have seen nothing but more racial tension and division as a result.
"Black Lives Matter!" True only for politicians during election cycle.
True...because "racism" is now anything the left doesn't like. So it isn't "everything".
It's the first thing asserted when you disagree with a liberal. It's been run in the ground
The problem is entirely cultural. A predominantly fatherless culture that is unwilling to accept any responsibility for their poor decisions and are deceived to think that they are incapable of success without support from others.That's my point. Money seems not to be an issue (although money is needed to solve quite a few problems).
No...you don't see. Just like you didn't see when I saidI see...so how does that justify kneeling on someone's neck for almost nine minutes?
Not defending what the police officer did.
