Whatever Happened to Black Lives Matter? (Waahhmbulance Alert)
The Root ^ | 02/16/2016 | Michael Harriot

Have you seen it?

According to the laws of physics and the principles of nature, nothing disappears into thin air, so it must be around here somewhere. It was too big and loud to fall between the couch cushions or hide in the closet, so someone must have stolen it. Someone must have found a way to silence it. I know there were a lot of people who wished it would evaporate into the ether or slowly fizzle out, but I’m sure it can’t be all gone.

What happened to Black Lives Matter?

Barely a year ago, #BlackLivesMatter was on the tip of almost every tongue in the country. It caused such a commotion that America had no choice but to take notice. Whether they supported it or hated it, everyone had an opinion of it. It led the evening news. It popped up in every social media feed. They argued about it on SportsCenter. Have you seen it lately? I know it hasn’t gone anywhere.

~snip~

But lately, my friends don’t talk about it as much. Is it dead? Is it asleep? Have we lost interest? Why is it so quiet? Where did it go?

~snip~

That’s what happened to Black Lives Matter.

Us.

Very interesting little Whine-fest. But at least at the end of this article he doesn't blame whitey as usual.

#BLM was its own worst enemy. From day one, it didn’t even have a clear list of ‘demands’ to help ease huge tension between its members and the wider American world. In the end: people saw through it for what it was: a collection of spoiled, foul-mouthed trouble-makers seeking to to convince the world that young black African-American men and women should be able to be as disrespectful, criminal, and classless as they want to be (without facing any sort of legal consequence). The nightmare of racism against American minorities is very real, but #BLM did its victims little justice.

Winter.

Drinking Colt 45 and burning buildings is a summer sport.

The lowlife Soros probably pulled his funding. The new ‘in’ group among liberal thugs are white guys with matching steel batons who bust on windows while ‘protesting’. Cost money to fly the little thugs around the country to make it look like a ‘movement’...

I heard BLM ran off with Occupy Wall Street & got married. Maybe they live happily ever after, but I doubt it. Genetically incapable of “happy.”

It was absorbed by white trust fund kids, George Soros, and jihadis.

They are still around, waiting for the next Cop vs Thug killing. Just a few days ago, Yusra Khogali, a Muslim Co-Founder of the Toronto BLM said that she thinks White people are Sub-Human and genetic mistakes that SHOULD BE WIPED OUT!
Yet and still, you hear about Schools hosting BLM meetings or sponsoring BLM weeks, with staff and all wearing those black shirts. Woe be unto anyone who dares wear a Trump shirt though! Great Googly-Moogly!

Black Lives Matter got $130 million in grants and pledges from various Soros Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation since August 2016.

That $130 million is used to pay for street muscle. I don’t think they are going away any time soon, it is apparently pretty lucrative.

They just changed their names and are now working with the “Social Justice” gang.
Since Obama/DOJ will no longer protect them, they are working in secret.

They are indoors teaching in their black studies/women studies/gender study classes waiting for spring.

Organizations like BLM don’t actually go away...

Once their purpose to agitation and chaos wears thin and no longer command media attention, they shed their skin and emerge as another Soro creature from the pit of hell with the same goals.

They simply change their name and “issue”...

The endgame is always the revolution...

The fact that Obama has been remanded to Homo Island may have something to do with BLM evaporating.

The number one reason I don't buy or drive Ford. Not even their tractors.

It doesn't take a social scientist to see that OWS morphed into BLM which has now morphed into the current rent-a-mobs against Trump.

Their targeted enclaves are the same, major lib city cesspools.

Their tactics are the same, flashmobs with face coverings and people specifically tasked with inciting violence.

Their sponsors are the same mostly REVCOM on the pre-printed signs.

Their objective is the same, revolutionary overthrow of the US government.

Finally, their sympathizers are the same, mega-libs from the east and left coast establishment, immigrant rights groups, the old media and hollyweird.

All of these associations are mere coincidence according to the organizers.
