All of a sudden, Black Lives Matter is doing all sorts of public services. – Think about it: The NBA is literally destroying itself in support of the openly-Marxist BLM terrorist group. Major League Baseball is going down that same road. The spoiled college football players at both the University of Texas and Oklahoma University walked out on their practices on Thursday. And who can doubt for a second that the NFL will trod down this road to hari-kari when its season convenes in a couple of weeks?
This is awesome, folks. As I’ve written previously, what all of this virtue-signaling, anti-American nonsense is mainly accomplishing is convincing ordinary Americans who have invested weeks of their lives each year in watching sporting events that there are other things to do in their lives. It turns out that formerly rabid sports fans like me can get along just fine without any of these games to entertain us.
On Friday, the co-founding Marxist of BLM proposed to do an even bigger public service for our country. Apparently too dimwitted to be aware that most of Hollywood has already essentially been on strike for six months now, since the advent of our country’s insane response to the viral gift from China, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors demanded that all of Hollywood go on strike over the apparently justified police shooting of Jacob Blake.
VDO.AI From a piece at DailyWire:
Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, has called upon all of Hollywood to strike in response to the Jacob Blake shooting.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Cullors said that Hollywood could be a tremendous help to the Black Lives Matter movement if all of the unions, which have been severely hurt by the pandemic, would halt work to push for change.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 13: Patrisse Cullors attends the Frieze Project Artist Patrisse Cullors x Summit x Cultured Magazine Dinner at The West Hollywood EDITION on February 13, 2020 in West Hollywood, California. “I think it’s time for talent, writers, executives, the guild and SAG to show up for Black lives as well,” Cullors said. “Join this strike. Now is the time and our movement is really looking to unions to step in in a particular way and say ‘We’re going to hold back on allowing for the exploitation and the degradation of Black communities to continue under our watch.’ I think Hollywood can really show up in this moment.”
Cullors said that the strike will focus on getting President Trump out of office and forcing the Democratic Party to deliver on their promises to the black community.
“People are tired of having to say the same thing over and over again, and not seeing the change that we deserve from either party, frankly,” she said. “I think the work that we’re up against right now is to ensure that we can get Trump out of office, but also ensure that we can get the Democratic Party to truly create policies that will make sure that Black people are protected from vigilantes and from police torture.”
[End]
As a reminder, Jacob Blake is a career criminal with a record as long as your arm. The police were called on him by fellow Black people. He resisted arrest and was lunging for a knife he keeps under the front seat of his car when he was shot.
It is over this apparently justified police shooting that the lovely Ms. Cullors demands that all of Hollywood go on strike.
What a fantastic idea! Think about it: A strike by Hollywood would mean that thousands of pedophiles, rapists and sex abusers would be out of work! It would mean a hiatus on the production awful sitcoms and tedious, cut and past police dramas. It would mean a pause on all of the post-apocalyptic junk science put out by Netflix. It would mean another big hit on the bottom line of the evil Disney Corporation, not to mention AT&T and Viacom.
And it would also provide an opportunity for millions of TV-and-movie-addicted Americans to suddenly realize that life goes on without all of that stuff.
It is a simple, unarguable fact that anything that is bad for Hollywood is absolutely great for America. So, go for it, Patrisse! Where can I sign up to help?
That is all.
This is wonderful. Maybe they will call for the lamestream media to stop broadcasting
A hollyweird strike? YES!
Wow, they finally had a good idea.
Can’t wait to hear from Hollywood.
My god. We’ll have to read a book or talk to each other.
The horror ... the horror.
LOL
Great idea! I can back this.
When they start hitting CNN and MSNBC then I will give them a kudo.
Even a blind horse gets a drink of water once in awhile.
They could double down and make it a hunger strike. I wont mind a bit.
Sports, hollywood.
Can we do main stream media next? Pretty please. Planned parenthood too?
The question is, will anyone notice?
Hey blm.....don’t you know hollyweird is in your camp...c’mon man....
Great! 90 percent of Hollywood production nowadays are inane to outright offensive. With so many utterly idiotic or outright communist “stars” making fools of themselves with their big mouths. Shutting it down will improve the public square and our culture immensely.
And I mean Full "Bobby Sands" here.
These deluded creatures seem to think Americans can’t live without the circuses.
And maybe some can’t but so far, the apathy over professional sports goes to show that this is a losing proposition for them even when it’s a good thing.
They are self-destructing and don’t even know it.
Knock your socks off, Hollywood.
I hear they have plenty of good old spare time for just such an occasion.
three things I find very funny in this.
First, hollyweird is not doing a damn thing right now anyway so going on strike is just more of what they are already doing and I can sure as hell live with that.
Second, I am not a movie watcher and I do not value people who can get up on the big or little screen and play make believe. They are over valued, over paid, and think way to much of themselves.
Third, BLM badly lying morons, want other people to give up their money to support their demented and concocted beliefs.
Blacks kill blacks all the time. The vast majority of blacks who are killed are killed by other blacks so those black lives sure as hell don’t matter.
Blacks get abortions and a much higher rate than any other group in our nation so those black lives are useless to them as well.
Before blacks or whites who jumped on the racist band wagon come screaming in my face about me valuing black lives they better start valuing black lives themselves.
Straight up equality I support and agree with. When it takes more than 20 words to explain your BS twisted idea get out of my face and leave me alone.
Maybe Burn Loot and Murder could ge the media to cease and desist..........
