A "Black Lives Matter" leader has issued a dire warning for the United States: the United States needs a new Constitution or else, he warns, "it will be the bullet" for the US.
Blake Simons, who wrote an article detailing his ideas, is the Deputy Comms Director of "Afrikan Black Coalition." The name of his piece is "A New Constitution or the Bullet."
Simons writes, "Our Black Lives Matter protests have stormed the country, yet cops continue to kill us daily, and the judicial system continues to justify our deaths with acquittals, non-indictments, and light sentences-all in the name of upholding the Constitution."
After months of protesting, Simons explains that he came "to realize that the Constitution is the root of virtually all our problems in America."
He continues, "The U.S. is a country that was founded on slavery, genocide, rape, and white male patriarchy. The colonizers that we condemn for enslaving Afikans and murdering indigenous peoples are the same people that produced and upheld the document we use to govern our nation to this day. Our bloodshed is rooted in this nation’s founding document, The Constitution."
For this reason, there "must be a new constitution or the bullet."
"A Constitution written by only white men will never serve the interests of Black people," Simons argues. "The Constitution was written for the ruling class of white men which constructed whiteness to be more valuable than any other race. When we discuss institutional racism, it is essential that we realize that the Constitution created it."
Simons then lays out his demands. "The United States has failed us; it is time we demand a new constitution or tell America that she will get the bullet," he says. "White supremacy’s bullets are killing Black people every day. If America does not protect us, then it is our human right to defend ourselves by any means necessary. It is our human right to overthrow a government that has been destructive to our people. This is why we must rise up and let all people come together and write new constitution to serve ALL people."
According to Simons, the example set by the Black Panthers must be followed. "The idea for a new constitution is not a new idea, rather an old one that was developed by the Black Panther Party," he writes. "In 1970, the Black Panther Party organized a Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention, however, after infiltration by the illegal COINTELPRO the idea never came into fruition. We must pick up where the Black Panthers left off and declare a new constitution or it will be the bullet."
He concludes his article with the warning, "If America fails to allow all people of this nation to write a new constitution, then it will be the bullet. Revolution is inevitable in a society that does not value the lives of all people."
All these little guys want to be the boss but have no idea how it's done. Dry up and blow away boys, ya bother me.
Inner city gang bangers with 9mms and maybe AKs launching a war against hunters with scoped 30-06s and 30-08s.
Yeah, thats gonna work out really well for the “revolutionaries”
THIS is the kind of crap we get from people who have been maxed out on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. They have gotten EVERYTHING and paid for nothing so now they want to change the rules society is governed by to make it easier to commit crimes and not be punished. This is a direct result of the Democrat party’s failure to treat these people like adults in exchange for their votes and NOTHING more.
Thanks, Aurelius. That was a very nice opus.
In both directions, I promise you that.
Doug from upland loves communist style healthcare, gay marriage and legal sodony, gun control, and overall aocialism, as LONG as it is put in place by a politician with an R designator. Somehow the R makes it sweeter.
Even if they got much better weapons and training, they’d mostly use it to kill one another.
I have a reasonable expectation that people brighter than him will either explain this, or tuck him away someplace safe, or where he won't be found right away...
Be careful what you ask for - you may get it.
But that often comes at a price you had never wanted to pay.
There is a country over in Africa, Liberia, right next to another country, Sierra Leone, which were founded back in the early part of the 19th Century, where slaves of African origin were repatriated and set up to form new separate countries. These recolonizations were modestly successful at first, and they modeled their customs and legal system on the American and British forms. The resettlement went on for several decades before and after the Civil War. The countries both had stable governments, until the native tribes began to push out into the civilized part, and whatever government then existed was crushed by strongman rule, which remains today.
This area was also noted as being the epicenter of the Ebola plague, more recently, and is now considered a biohazard zone.
But the #BlackLivesMatter thugs are perfectly welcome to relocate and recolonize the region once again. Maybe they can get things to work right there.
Unfortunately, this regime WANTS it.....consequences be darned.
Does he have any specific suggestions?
I could use a good laugh today.
If they get manage to get rid of the current constitution but lose the revolutionary struggle the new constitution might not contain a 13th amendment.
Fine......Give him the bullet!
Talk is cheap, pony up hood rat.
Why hasn’t this group been labeled terrorist?
This guy’s view on the Constitution - that it was created to benefit and enrich a few white people at the expense of everyone else - is a mainstream Democrat position. The only difference is that this guy is willing to be open about it, while elected Democrats are not.
