the rise of the useless class...

It had existed as a phrase for some time, but it wasn’t until two black men died in the summer of 2014 that Black Lives Matter began to flicker to life as a Twitter hashtag.
The roots of the phrase are commonly traced to a July 2013 Facebook post by Alicia Garza, a California-based activist, but it appeared in the Twitter-friendly form #BlackLivesMatter only in fits and starts over the course of the following year, according to a Pew Research Center analysis on race and social media released this month.
The hashtag had a small, but sustained increase in use in the summer of 2014, when Michael Brown and Eric Garner died in encounters with the police, focusing a national discussion on race and policing and elevating a phrase that would define a movement.
“This is a very powerful example of how a hashtag now is attached to a movement, and a movement, in some ways, has grown around a hashtag — and a series of really painful and really powerful conversations are taking place in a brand-new space,” said Lee Rainie, director of internet, science and technology research at Pew.
The label appears to have lasting power, simmering like a low-grade fever on social media and roaring to life with every police killing of a black citizen and every racial protest that makes the news, informing the long-running national debate.

the rise of the useless class...
A dose of racism and criminal advocacy from the ny slimes. Posted to educate on the insane way the left thinks.
I wish they’d start a meme #VotingIsActingWhite.
Feral-Americans.
100%
It’s a movement of stupid people who don’t know that Michael Brown was a violent criminal who endangered the life of a police officer and got what he deserved. The rest of the movement is defined by crooked America hating politicians like Obama.
Only black lives matter is a terrorist organization . We need to hit them with with DRONES!!! TERRORISTS!!
Unfortunately #VotingManyTimesPays gets you welfare for you and even your dead relatives. I don’t know what they should be called, but I think their slogan should be “Death to Whitey and Take His Stuff”. The BLM and the Mexican reconquista movement are just similar racist movements pushed by different racial groups. They have news headlines like “Reconquista: the Invasion of America | The Last Gringo”. How nice. I won’t comply and they will fail.
Any mention of Soros?

From hacked e-mails and observing soros it seems he wants world-wide chaos. Open societies allow the crime gangs unlimited access.
i'd like to rub-em raw alright, with a wood rasp...
ALL lives matter, not just black lives.
ALL lives matter, not just black lives.
Certainly the NYT knows BLM is Soros-funded astroturf and an overt weaponization of the black underclass.
Because WE know that. The hacked emails are clear and unequivocal.
Thus we must conclude that they are engaging in propaganda.
They are the enemy of truth, and freedom.
From the makers of “create a collective” and “Marxist memes” we bring you “blacklivesmatter”
