The Black Lives Matter Movement Needs to Die
Redstate ^ | September 13, 2020 | Bonchie

Posted on 09/13/2020 10:28:13 AM PDT by re_tail20

My patience has run out. As the country has been engulfed by rioting, looting, and violence since mid-summer, I’ve tried to couch my criticisms of the Black Lives Matter movement in ways that show grace to those who I truly feel are discussing issues in good faith. And while I’ve always known the actual BLM organization was a dumpster fire, I knew there were others who simply considered themselves part of a broader, more positive path that paralleled some aspects, but didn’t buy into everything BLM espoused.

I can’t make that distinction anymore. BLM has lost that right with their latest behavior, if they already hadn’t long before.

RedState covered some of their latest antics this morning, which occurred after two police officers were shot in cold blood in Los Angeles.

To say this is disgusting behavior doesn’t begin to describe it. Further, to try to ascribe this to only the worst parts of the BLM movement is also gaslighting at this point. That a movement would “only” have 7% of it’s protests turn violent is not something celebrate. It’s something to be disgusted by. Past that, many BLM protests devolve into gross, disturbing rhetoric even when the violence doesn’t start. When a BLM leader in D.C. started riffing on killing cops a few week ago, that may not have been violent, but it was equally disturbing.

I’m sick of the excuses. I’m sick of being told that I must make distinctions and give the benefit of the doubt to a movement that doesn’t deserve it, nor would such treatment be given to any other movement that has so abused it’s influence.

Here’s my contention. There’s nothing good coming from BLM. Nothing at all. Is the country a better place since their uprising? No, it’s only gotten much worse. In...

The entire mass media/entertainment/sports complex has irreversibly embraced BLM. Violence and destruction are no longer being reported at the national level and BLM is being promoted as a peaceful, righteous cause on par with the Selma marches. No one speaks of their Marxist revolutionary or separatist goals, nor their LGBT agenda. It’s not going to die easily, but the election will change it depending on who is sworn in on Jan 20.

Well I rather vote for President Trump who has his wits with him then vote for for Vice-President Joe Biden who IMHO is dealing with dementia.

You forget the environment we are all in.

He has been opposed at every turn even before he was elected.

They impeached his @$$ with a phony impeachment, harrassed his administration, his judicial nominees, etc. etc.

And the press aids and abets this.

What would you have done? What are your answers for this?

That only leaves you with two alternatives.

One is to get away from them.

The other is to get them away from you.

There’s plenty of BLM and Antifa already embedded in large cities PD’s

Do not be surprised if a "false flag" operation occurs shortly before the election, where a white cop with no visible ties to Antifa opens up on a crowd of black people, killing dozens, and providing a trigger for nationwide riots that will make in-person voting impossible.

Tough to cure an ‘inferiority complex’, and they got it bad.

It’s Satanic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

The psychological phenomenon of illusory superiority was identified as a form of cognitive bias in Kruger and Dunning’s 1999 study, “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments”.[1] The identification derived from the cognitive bias evident in the criminal case of McArthur Wheeler, who, on April 19, 1995, robbed two banks while his face was covered with lemon juice, which he believed would make it invisible to the surveillance cameras. This belief was based on his misunderstanding of the chemical properties of lemon juice as an invisible ink.[2]
