As a black person, please let me assure you that most of us feel about the BLM like you feel about the KKK.

Please stop giving them attention

I don't mean to put you down, but are you sure that this opinion is widespread? It just seems like there's widespread support for them, and this opinion is an exception. :(

If you look at photos of BLM protests, not only most protestors are women, a majority of them are fat white women. Its not just black people in BLM. Its basically a movement that lets people who never accomplish anything in their life do something they think is important. Its never about empowering Black people

Any idiot would see that they are making it worse for Black people

[–]Greatmambojambo 37ポイント38ポイント  (12子コメント)

Patronizing racism.

Common with liberals.

Shoving black people into a box, expecting them to think and act in a certain way. If we don't we're labelled by the very same people as "Uncle toms", "whitewashed" and whatnot. Fuck them.

I (black guy here) notice that a lot of BLM protesters are multi-ethnic college age people from higher socio-economic backgrounds. I'm not sure it's a matter that they haven't accomplished anything, they really haven't had time to accomplish anything. I think they just need something to believe in or fight for in a society where there's not really that much injustice going on, relative to what's going on in the rest of the world. Combine that with a University culture that promotes the internalization of historic political and economic phenomena and you have a recipe for misdirected rage

[–]shamus4mwcrewNJ 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

They want a civil rights movement when there is no reason to have one. They basically want a story to tell how they fought injustices just like in the 50's and 60's. Now don't get me wrong there is still plenty of fucked up shit going on but they more like the idea of marching against it than actually being against it. They do it more to prove that they're good people because they fought for something.

[–]nyguyen 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

No reason to have a "civil rights movement". Yeah let's just totally ignore that the Prison-Industrial Complex has gotten so bad and so racialized that Rand "fucking Ultraconservative" Paul had to call it out in the middle of the GOP debate. People have a right to be angry and frustrated. Police brutality in minority communities is a thing and racialized targeting of Blacks in the War on Drugs is a thing. The longer conservatives, nationalists, and libertarians (or w/e you're calling yourselves post-Trump Revolution) ignore it, the more Black people will simply not vote for you. The Democratic Party at least pays lip service to these issues and as patronizing and delusional as White Leftists can be, they are the only ones who seem to "get it".

[–]Touchedmokey 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're mistaking virtue signaling for activism when you refer to Democratic attempts to fix the solution. Obama had eight years campaigning on this platform and all that occurred is the divide growing. Race relations are terrible right now, and the actions of BLM are only making it worse.

Trump wants to push MJ decriminalization/state-led legalization to address the issue of overincarceration. Unprovoked police brutality is a pretty rare occurence, and with how the MSM media wants to push a corrupt cop viewpoint, you're gonna see these outliers on all major newschannels for weeks.

The reality? Recitivism rates in black communities mean the same cops arrest the same people several times. These regions of higher arrest require additional police presence. Underpolicing leads to higher instances of theft and assault/murder and is very dangerous for the patrolling PO. Higer incarceration rates are a vicious circle that only one party has the ability to break: black people.

We can sympathize and we can try and make it as easy to pull themselves out of squalor, but at the end of the day they have to make the decision to accept help. Glorifying thug life, eschewing education and engendering hatred in authority are things that actively work against these black communities and make it a pit that they cannot pull themselves out of, and no amount of government aid can fix that

I think this is a HUGE impetus behind the SJW/BLM/Sanders4Prez activism and rioting we're seeing recently. The Boomers have had control over the media for so long and really emblazoned their own youth in the '60s and '70s with this idolised golden sheen- hippies, marching against the Vietnam War, SDS campus protests, the Weathermen, Yippies, diggers, Lennon's 'bed-in', moratoriums, taking acid and breaking down cultural conventions, Woodstock, the Chicago Eight, UC Berkley, protesting against Reagan in the People's Park... all this stuff has been drilled into us as this MAGICAL time where they CHANGED the world, man! You should have been there! Not that you'd remember it with all the MESCALINE you'd've been on, ha! ha! ha!

So we've had that jammed down our throats for a few decades, and then on top of it we have a generation growing up who've also been through an education system where cultural-marxist values are saturated throughout the curriculum- endless white guilt, 'your history's foundations are ALL racist', 'capitalism is responsible for all the world's ills', 'the West is shite and underdeveloped Third World countries are wondrous fairylands'. They have all these warped values hurled at them, and have been wrapped in cotton wool (school races where "everyone's a winner!") so when they enter the Real World it's a big slap in the face. They feel lost and useless and everything is hard, but they have this ready-made ideology built into their mental-structure which helps them make sense of it- it's the System's fault, with all its patriarchal norms and systemic racism and cultural appropriation! And all that rioting and protesting in the '60s looked like a blast, much more fun than WORKING or STUDYING; God what a magical time, let's bring it back...

[–]Bdazz 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

This, exactly. People love to feel like they belong to a club - especially an underdog club - and they also love drama. Just look at any social media platform. BLM is just the loudest club right now. Anyone older than thirty has seen it all before, but it's still new and exciting to younger generations.

Sorry if I sound cynical.

[–]chosen_fewTX 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Its a lot of people that just missed the gay rights movement. That was an actual movement with a clear need and a clear goal that really did transform American society. BLM and its goals are more nebulous. "It" is unfair and "problems" need to get solved but what exactly that is depends on who youre talking to.

Theres a lot of anger and idealism which isnt unique to this new generation but it is unfocused.

They're just the loudest in the room. That's all.

Edit: you know, like the crazy redneck racist at trump rallies shouting "ship those monkeys back" will get all the media attention but isn't representative at all. My comparison with the KKK isn't that far off by the way. KKK is about white supremacy and enslaving all black people, BLM is about black supremacy and killing all white people. Do you really think a majority of us can get behind such a message?

Fuck both of them.

You can't throw out over 100 years of violent history because the KKK doesn't have widespread support. Its easy for some people to make that claim but understand this is an organization that has been the cause of misery for generations, so don't be upset if people demonstrate extreme hatred for them even now. BLM is nowhere near as bad as those guys. The worst they've done is have rowdy demonstrations and yelling at white people, mainly cops. You simply cannot compare those two organizations.

[–]MEGA_MAGA_MAN 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I did not compare blm to kkk but they are not a threat and if people still act like they matter they are idiots

[–]MistarGstar 29ポイント30ポイント  (27子コメント)

Actually the KKK is not about enslaving black people. They want nothing to do with blacks. I'm not defending their group, just saying you should get your facts straight.

[–]BCSinReversePA 25ポイント26ポイント  (23子コメント)

Does it really matter? KKK is a completely shit organization just like the BLM movement.

[–]shagsterzTX 48ポイント49ポイント  (11子コメント)

iDK why they are still even mentioned. 26yr old white guy here, I've never seen a KKK person in real life and I'm from the south. BLM is still relevant though I have no idea how. Their kicking and screaming at colleges all around.

[–]Ducman69 35ポイント36ポイント  (7子コメント)

That's the big difference. KKK is irrelevant because their numbers are unbelievably tiny. I'm fairly confident that the KKK has fewer members than there are otherkin that identify as a dolphin in the United States, and is disavowed by all. BLM however is a mainstream movement that receives widespread support from the establishment pushing the race-baiting division, and even if they don't represent the "silent-majority" of blacks, their numbers are significant and relevant.

So while BLM may be a racist hate group like others, you can't really say its the same irrelevancy as the KKK right now.

[–]ThisIsJustARobotOH 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

The interesting thing about blm is that the majority of supporters are probably white. At least a significant portion

[–]NiekischAUS 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not just tiny, but splintered. The KKK isn't one single organisation with a united leadership and central headquarters; it's lots of independent little chapters spread across the US (and other parts of the world), most of whom have a pretty tiny, locally-based memberships. They all usually operate off their own bat and while there's communication and coordination between some of them, there's also lots of divisions. 'Traditionalist' Klansmen tend to be very pro-Constitution and have a radical Christian aspect to their racial beliefs; they might dislike a lot of aspects of the US federal government as it currently exists but they don't want to destroy it, just return it to its 'roots'. 'Modernist' Klansmen tend to be more hardcore- they embrace some fascist/National Socialist symbols and ideals (traditionalists reject them entirely as un-American), tend to be more 'radical' and anti-government, might reject mainstream Christianity for Christian Identity or WCotC, and are much more willing to work with neo-fascist and neo-Nazi groups. The modern 'Klan' really poses very little threat - which isn't to say their harmless (of course not) - but whenever I see a fuss being kicked up because someone saw a swastika in a university toilet and believes it's evidence there's an underground "Klan chapter" runnning round I tend to roll my eyes. There's fuck all Klan members around, they're isolated, and they expend a hell of a lot of energy arguing with each other and with other White Nationalist groups.

BLM is from my understanding a little the same organisationally in that it's a big broad group with lots of little cells acting independently; anyone can set up and call themselves BLM. However, BLM does have official chapters which are all connected, and it does have an official central leadership. To me BLM seem a lot more united than the Klan (there's usually a lot of ideological consistency behind their arguments, even if they're stupid- anti-systemic-racism, anti-police-violence, intersectionality); they're not torn by divisions and suspicion and they don't squabble with each other over petty shit like symbolism. At the moment they're a much larger group than the Klan, a much louder group, and there's a certain dangerous element to them in that their actions seem to get a free pass from a big section of the media.

So tl;dr I agree with you, BLM are a racist hate group and they're not irrelevant. The Klan might have a dark history, but they're a joke now. BLM definitely aren't.

[–]twwwy 10ポイント11ポイント  (7子コメント)

But trying to equivocate KKK and BLM is a BS argument.

KKK is basically a universally bashed, hated, sidelined and even criminalized organization whose members are basically deranged skinheads, deranged methed-up leather bikers and, like a dozen other people. They have no public sympathy or acceptance, and they mean jack shit.

BLM, on the other hand, is the 'civil rights movement' of today, the equivalent of the MLK Movement of today, they brand themselves as such, they get coverage as such, and they are celebrated by both black people, and mainstream press/people as such.

One of their figurehead 'gods', Deray is a candidate for the Mayor of Baltimore, they have public backing and universal acclaim. The posts like the one in the OP are celebrated and encouraged.

It is a completely different ballgame, and it DOES matter.

[–]nyguyen -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

He had a much more nuanced view of the subject.

Urban riots must now be recognized as durable social phenomena. They may be deplored, but they are there and should be understood. Urban riots are a special form of violence. They are not insurrections. The rioters are not seeking to seize territory or to attain control of institutions. They are mainly intended to shock the white community. They are a distorted form of social protest. The looting which is their principal feature serves many functions. It enables the most enraged and deprived Negro to take hold of consumer goods with the ease the white man does by using his purse. Often the Negro does not even want what he takes; he wants the experience of taking. But most of all, alienated from society and knowing that this society cherishes property above people, he is shocking it by abusing property rights. There are thus elements of emotional catharsis in the violent act. This may explain why most cities in which riots have occurred have not had a repetition, even though the causative conditions remain. It is also noteworthy that the amount of physical harm done to white people other than police is infinitesimal and in Detroit whites and Negroes looted in unity. A profound judgment of today's riots was expressed by Victor Hugo a century ago. He said, 'If a soul is left in the darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.' The policymakers of the white society have caused the darkness; they create discrimination; they structured slums; and they perpetuate unemployment, ignorance and poverty. It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society. When we ask Negroes to abide by the law, let us also demand that the white man abide by law in the ghettos. Day-in and day-out he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meager allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; and he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions for civic services. The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; Negroes live in them but do not make them any more than a prisoner makes a prison. Let us say boldly that if the violations of law by the white man in the slums over the years were calculated and compared with the law-breaking of a few days of riots, the hardened criminal would be the white man. These are often difficult things to say but I have come to see more and more that it is necessary to utter the truth in order to deal with the great problems that we face in our society.

They still live in germany. I (legally) immigrated from there some time back. But yes western values worked out pretty well for us, thanks.

In unrelated news: you can't imagine how terrified they are of the masses of radical muslims "immigrating" to germany right now. The social housing project where I spent the first 7 years of my life (Märkisch Viertel - Berlin) is basically ruled under sharia law by now. My parents no longer live there, my father worked like an animal to get us out of there but it shows a shocking trend...

There's nothing wrong with letting people into your country, be they muslim, christian, hindu, jewish or whatever. But they have to accept and embrace the existing standards and values. And that's what's going wrong over there right now. They let millions (!) of people into the country that oppose everything germany stands for.

And Obama has just succesfully shoved the first few thousand of these animals down our throats. We can't let this happen.

[–]AstronautJonze 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't even think they started right. BLM sprouted from a misconception that black people are being targeted by the police epidemically. Statistically this is not true, the media just decided to run with a few choice instances and create a narrative out of them. Are there injustices that have occurred? Sure, but not to the extent that the media has portrayed. And they deliberately leave out information (such as resisting or assaulting the arresting officer) that doesn't fit within the narrative of "police are racist and are killing black people in droves".

BLM is and always has been a group that wallows in false victimization and a distorted view of "white supremacy".

[–]nyguyen -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Statistically it is true. Very true. Its a proven fact and the longer white people deny it, the more agitated race relations are going to become. This is analogous to white people who ran around in the 50s saying "BUT SEGREGATION ISN'T EVEN THAT BAD"

Its absolutely not true. BLM is widely supported in the Black community. When you see images of dead black kids being shot by trigger happy cops, don't be surprised when African-Americans organize into a disruptive social and political force.

I believe the argument which the BLM put forward is a legitimate one; Black people do face discrimination in the US, and are the victims of more brutal policing, and all that.

BUT, their vehicle is the one which is wrong, and them colluding to the idiots and the idiotic mindset as illustrated by this tweet is why I have little to no respect for them. Not the underlying cause, which I do believe is a legitimate one. But fuck that group.

You will not bring about ANY change by perpetuating REAL violence, shouting at and shutting down or trying to shut down others' rallies/etc., and inciting violence and perpetuating ignorance like the one above.

Anyone who is intelligent enough to look at numbers will realize that the whole "black people are discriminated" is nothing more than well crafted bullshit by the left to pander to uneducated black people.

I just always have to ask the "over policing" crowd how else we are supposed to respond when 12% (really like 6% when you figure it's almost entirely men) of people are committing half of the homicides.

I understand that additional policing is going to have at least some upward pressure on the realized crime rate since more people will get caught doing illegal shit than they will in the suburbs and I sincerely sympathize with that, it's bullshit that I can walk around in a white neighborhood in my town blowing plumes of marijuana smoke and two blocks over people are essentially being stop and frisked. That said it's just insane to think that every community should be policed equally when we have a limited number of cops trying to stop some pretty horrible shit from happening.
