Race To The Bottom (Some Thoughts On Black Lives Matter)

So many have opined on Black Lives Matter over the past 3 years that it’s difficult to imagine anything novel being said or written about this organization. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to add my 2 cents, if for no other reason than the fact that I’ve never tackled this subject before on this website and my readers are entitled to know what I believe.

There are a number of characteristics that distinguish BLM and its supporters from previous civil rights movements and which identify it as part of the current wave of millennial, leftist political activism, the most prominent being its imperiousness. Like the strident social justice and feminist activism flourishing within this country’s most expensive hug boxes, Black Lives Matter refuses to countenance the idea that the opinions of its critics-or even those who disagree with some of its policy prescriptions-matter. They exist to dictate terms of submission, not debate.

A perfect illustration of this is the spectacle which unfolded at Toronto’s annual gay pride parade, an event effectively shut down while its organizers acquiesced to the incoherent demands of virulent racists. Leaving aside the tactical problem of a culture that comprises less than 3 percent of a country demanding recognition from a governing majority which it insists is systemically bigoted against black Canadians, there’s the question of why they believe this approach will be strategically successful.

Based upon an interview with one of BLM’s co-founders north of the border, they seem to believe that if their movement can successfully manipulate language, effectively shaping how we speak, then they will be able to implement their goals-however nebulous they may be-without opposition...

It’s not a civil rights movement. It’s a communist revolutionary movement cleverly disguised as a civil rights movement.

As are a lot of leftist movements.

We had a church in town that had a sign defaced this weekend. I can't understand why.

Every concession that is given to BLM will only encourage them to demand more, and nothing is too outrageous. Bottom line, they want whites dead or enslaved, they just will not say that publicly.

They cannot be satisfied or placated, having created an environment that they have caused whites to be so submissive and compliant, that they can demand nearly anything and it will be granted. They have erroneously calculated that all whites would be submissive.

This will become an ever increasing series of skirmishes, first with police, then whites in general, all the while attempting to blind other whites with racial grievance propaganda.

Our future is going to be open warfare.

Did anyone else just hear Jessie Jackson on Fox. Still going with the narrative that a rifle can bring down an airplane. The host corrected him on a number of facts, but he called an ar-15 a weapon of mass destruction. Why does anyone give him air time?

He's been deputed by the media as a civil rights leader, and leader of the black community, notwithstanding the fact that his entire career is based upon deceit and fraud.

The radicals and the so-called 'civil rights movement' of the mid-late 1960s and early 1970s were absolutely no different. Don't let the passage of time dull the evil of those foul folk. They, too, were killers, rioters and arsonists, bent on the destruction of society. Black Liars Movement IS them.
