Default Is this true about BLM?



It's only a 50 second video. Interesting. I also said i believe in equality for all, in all the BLM threads, but i was sceptical about the organisation as a whole, and some of the violence it promoted.

The guy in the video seems pissed. BLM earned Millions of $, where did the majority of it go?

Yeah they're pretty much just conmen, the only good thing about them is their name.

And that in itself is a minor stroke of genius, as you can't say you disagree with them without sounding like you're saying that black lives don't matter.

Default Washington Post journalist Jonathan Capehart

The DOJ report notes on page 44 that Johnson “made multiple statements to the media immediately following the incident that spawned the popular narrative that Wilson shot Brown execution-style as he held up his hands in surrender.” In one of those interviews, Johnson told MSNBC that Brown was shot in the back by Wilson. It was then that Johnson said Brown stopped, turned around with his hands up and said, “I don’t have a gun, stop shooting!” And, like that, “hands up, don’t shoot” became the mantra of a movement. But it was wrong, built on a lie.

Every org with money flowing through it has corruption. Take Steve Bannon, he fleeced trump supporters with a "build the wall" donation scam that he used for his own gain.

The BLM movement wasn't built off one incident either, it's the collection of murders that the police have been doing for years.

More of them should be called out for it. And really, are some hutlers exploiting the questionable actions of the police much worse than megacorps who exploit their lowest paid workers while destroying the environment?

But this thread is only about one of these examples.

I would agree with this.

No matter what kinda organisation you're thinking of, there will always be something dodgy going on.

BLM is 100% BS. Hands up, don't shoot? More like don't try to bumrush a cop after knocking off a convenience store. As an American I've only experienced racism from Native Americans who called me Eurotrash and threatened me and made it impossible to hang out with Native friends without being harassed, plus the usual anti-Semitism that comes from most people, including going to a party and having everyone make a big sand castle swastika. The real racism in this country and the world in general is absolutely ignored and it sickens me.

Those native Americans must have had a right mind **** when the African slaves started appearing.

I've been watching videos where black people are asking the same questions the guy is in the OP.

At it's core BLM is correct, the message it was sending was sound. But i can't help but think now that as soon as the money started rolling in, the founders and those around them motivation changed.

It was a lie from the beginning started by black supremacist self-professed trained marxists with ties to the Jew-hating Nation of Islam. They rampaged through cities causing enormous damage and death throughout 2020, no social distancing or lockdowns, yet the NYC mayor endorsed it and instead saved his ire for Jews trying to go to synagogue, funerals, school, etc. We used to believe you judge a person by the content of their character, but now it's all about skin color for the BLM crowd.

What's "the real racism" you spoke of in your previous post?
