My thread today is about BlackLivesMatter. Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of that organization, admitted during an interview that they are trained organizers and Marxists. I bet that any of BlackLivesMatter ever read the "Communist Manifesto" or "Das Capital" for Karl Marx. They won't even recognize his face if they asked to identify him while showing pictures for ten different people. What is a trained Marxist supposed to mean? Trained Marxist mean learning anarchy methods and how to control the masses. This is what Rosa Luxembourg attempted to do in Germany after WW1. She wasn't from Germany. She was a citizen of Poland. The attempt did fail. However, the German army had a different opinion. It was able successfully to take control of the situation and restore peace. Legislators ignored BlackLivesMatter calls to defund the police departments. BlackLivesMatter claimed that defunding doesn't mean abolishing the police. Now they come out from their metaphor terminology, and straight in the face requesting to abolish police departments nationwide. BlackLivesMatter screams such demands in their rallies. Radical Muslim Brotherhood member and congresswoman Ilhan Omar called in a BlackLivesMatter rally to abolish the Minneapolis police department all for good. She described the police as cancer. Only fools and criminals believe in such demands, and replace police officers with social workers. They would like American cities to be like the Wild West, everybody running with a gun and doing whatever they want. Democrats abolish all call for social distancing because of Coronavirus to facilitate their call for Anti-Trump rallies. Nobody cares about masks, gloves or safety measures. All these BlackLivesMatter and Antifa supporters would refuse to go back to work or send their kids to school because it is not safe. However, they will answer the call to join rallies immediately. And they didn't stop there. Hypocrite Pro-Democrats media criticize Donald Trump rallies as a reason for CoronaVirus cases to spike in the town of Tulsa_Oklahoma and other future locations. Meanwhile, they post videos and pictures of their rallies showing their large numbers, shoulder to shoulder crowds. BlackLivesMatter rallies are immune from Coronavirus, is it? BlackLivesMatter won't stand in a public debate because they have no reason or logic. The principle of their movement is racist to its core. They are aided by terrorist Antifa looting and burning stores, public and private buildings, which are using BLM rallies as a cover for their actions. It should be AllLivesMatter, not BlackLivesMatter. Blacks killing more Blacks in America than cops killing Blacks. Police called to a homicide crime scene because Black Americans killing each other is very common. It stops making the headline news anymore. The truth gets BlackLiveMatter upset, Blacks killing Blacks. White cops killing Black Americans, a racist cop. White cop killing White American, a bad cop. Black cop killing Black American, another bad cop. Everybody saw the horrifying images of Kelly Thomas' death in 2011. He was beaten to death by police that his face became difficult to recognize. Nobody cared because Barack Obama was a president with his magic word, hope. And the victim was a homeless White man diagnosed with schizophrenia who lived on the streets of Fullerton, California. A few days before George Floyd's death, a police officer in Jackson-Mississippi choked to death a young black individual. No BlackLivesMatter rally or protest, and barely the incident made it to the news. All these BlackLivesMatter and Antifa are hypocrite groups and possible terrorists. The governor of Minnesota, the state where the city of Minneapolis is a Democratic. I think Ilhan Omar should criticize him, not Donald Trump for their dysfunctional police force. She could get busy and call Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic governor of New York for the same issue. She could obtain a long list of the worst Democratic states and city police departments and question them or call them to congress. I didn't mention numbers because it is easy to manipulate. However, The Washington Post shows 404 victims of police shootings compared to 250 black_Americans in 2019. End
I think all this has been intentionally stirred up, a little analogous to Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution. They're feeding the more volatile fringes of society outrage (a lot of it manufactured outrage), and some of these fringes are going to go off and take things a little bit in a direction of their own, because they are unstable. This whole thing is a congregate of extreme social-Left Progressives, and Black activists. The two groups are not exactly the same and do not have exactly the same end desires, but there has been an alliance of initiatives and meshing together of ideology.
64% Worry About Cop Shortage and Public Safety; Blacks Worry Most. Hundreds ‘ambush’ Tampa police responding to report of shots fired, 2 officers injured, chief says.
The unstable part could easily be applied to the Democrat Party. It's also been said that the Democrats will care about black issues all the way to November 5. But your take does bear thinking about. Which issue will force their split-up?
How can you say they offer nothing when they haven't even had their convention yet? That kind of stretch does deserve a hearty giggle.
BLM is being played up so they dont have to talk about Corona or a phase 4 relief... Its pretty transparent imo
I heard BLM wants to be a political party now... Like no one saw that one coming. If they are successful goodbye democrats.
Democrats can't loose the black vote and the ultra left socialists and ever win an election again. It would be impossible.
This crap will not help their cause. Black Lives Matter leader states if US 'doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system' https://www.foxnews.com/media/black-lives-matter-leader-burn-down-system
Which are almost completely non existent. Legislatures make laws cops enforce them. If you don't like the law complain to the legislature not the cops.
BLM is the basic equivalent of the Tea Party - they will be popular for a short while and then America will move on to the next thing. Next.
Hmm... You got that from the OP huh? Here's a question, why does it always seem that it is the cops in the democratic cities that end up being the focal point of these dust ups? If, as you suggest, you are worried about your cities being police states, why was it your party that created it? And the more interesting question here is why, if you don't like this authoritarian model, do you still support those in your party who would force this on you?
Hmm. No. No they are not. They are the equivalent of the Brownshirts or the Bolsheviks of yesteryear.
Asinine assertion on your part. Brownshirts and Bolsheviks had the authority of state law behind them and were able to imprison millions of people. BLM has no authority outside protest.
LOL.. Actually, they didn't. Each group was the precursor that eventually became the state apparatus that suppressed those societies. They started somewhere first, and just as BLMs intends to induce fear into the communities so did they. These are the truths of history that you don't get to whitewash over.
Shooting at the moon again? Or just a feeble attempt at humor? The NY BLM leader understands being abusive, abuse, and that is probably the only thing he understands. His statement is: if US 'doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system' My position is that we abolish police support or protection for anyone who will not back our police or supports defunding their departments. We create a national database of these morons, and when they call for help- police, fire, ambulance, etc- nobody comes. Thus when the people demanding what they want come to burn our houses down and get a load of buckshot for their trouble- they get to take care of themselves.
That interview went a bit askew. I would have liked to hear more about Newsome's demands, rather than a discourse on white Jesus. "Martha MacCallum told Newsome. "What exactly is it that you hope to achieve through violence?"" It wasn't until the end of the interview that Newsome answered the question directly. "At the conclusion of the interview, Newsome told MacCallum, "I just want black liberation and black sovereignty, by any means necessary."" As kazenatuzu mentioned, there are a couple of progressive groups participating in these protests/riots, with somewhat disparate end-games. There are more than two, but that's a separate topic. The "core" goal of BLM leadership is a Marxist/Communist separation, segregation, and sovereignty for blacks (and a smaller sub-group wanting sovereignty only for American descendants of slaves). The most radical representatives want to be given a piece of land and some money (reparations) to get started, where they can divorce themselves from America and start their own sovereign country, based on a Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Maoist concepts and utopian vision. (I suggest they study Liberia, Africa where a group of thousands of freed American slaves were gifted land and money and then were left to their own devices.) There are several groups participating in the anarchy/destruction/rioting, so Newsome represents only one section of the entire pie. Most of the groups participating, however, are anarchist and neo-Marxist in nature. There doesn't appear to be any other cohesion, and groups are already infighting (even murdering each other), so I don't see them gaining much more traction. Destroying statues, burning down buildings and lootings gives them a temporary sense of pure power, but it completely loses the plot of wanting real police reform or equality for a supposedly "victimized" group. Media really needs to pin down the question and get more direct answers to "What do you want?" They'll get as many different answers as "leaders" they interview. I think the entire house of BLM cards would come crumbling down when most of America sees how very haphazard, poorly thought-out, and chaotic this movement is. It's turned into a total fiasco.
I think you are right but BLM takes on a leadership role with these morons so BLM really is the problem.
