Why activists brought the Black Lives Matter movement to the UK
The Guardian ^ | 8/6/2016 | Tracy McVeigh

Posted on 08/08/2016 10:48:54 AM PDT by GilGil

BLM UK gives us a new framework. Nobody is excluded from the room. But we have learned it’s important not to see the movement go the way a lot of anti-racist movements do, led by white people, middle-class white people. We welcome white allies, we want participation, but please do not take over from people who are directly affected by the oppression and acknowledge your privilege. Listen, but don’t dilute or devolve what is being said. Silence, white silence, is complicity and there is room for everyone to engage in change. We can be a powerful force.

I only have 2 questions.

Where does the money come from for these people to be so organized across vast oceans?

If I read this article correctly are they saying that BLM is of black people, by black people, and for black people. Is that not the very definition of racism? I have always marveled how democrats propose to eradicate racism by instituting racism. Come to think of it they propose to eradicate poverty by making people poorer. They propose to eradicate sexism by instituting sexism. What a bunch of whack jobs. They are totally useless.

BLM is just a commie front group at this point, heavily funded by socialist and communist groups such as Soros.

Where?

From billionaire globalists like Soros, Gates, the Saudis, ad infinitum.

Why?

Because there are still far too many eduacated and self-respecting white folks in the UK that resulted in Brexit.

Gotta keep them hillbillies in line ‘cause they’re too stupid to know what’s in their best interests. /s

"Why activists brought the Black Lives Matter movement to the UK"....

BECAUSE SOROS PAID THEM TO.

Folks need to stop overthinking stuff.

If everybody is 'special', then nobody is 'special.

If everybody is 'poor', then nobody is 'poor'.

If everybody is a 'pervert', the nobody is a 'pervert'.

If everybody is a 'whackjob', then nobody is a 'whackjob'.

Many sources say they have rec'd money from George Soros Open Society foundation, as well as a group called "Democrat Alliance" which includes a lot of rich white lefties.

We do know BLM has visited the White House and Dept. of Justice many times, so its clear to me they are Obama's own red guards, who hit the streets in coordination with him and his political goals - on race-baiting, and especially control of local police.

Another vehicle for agitation to bring the ‘privileged’ class to crisis for takeover by socialist/globalists.

statistics showing an alarming gulf between the experiences of black and white people in Britain – in education, in the justice and prison systems, and in employment.

Sure, but it's not the fault of police. It's the fault of a violent, sick subculture.

Because ever since the First World War (and even before), the Brits have flirted with communism, in much the same way France and Italy have. Since B(L)M is a perfect dialectical tool, it serves the communist cause well.

The Brits have only themselves to blame on this one.

Gee, how many blacks were killed by gun carrying cops in the UK? Seems like it would be none since they don’t carry guns. RME

I wish there were comments on the site. I would have liked to know what the Brits think of this grievance group.

On another topic, I remember watching videos in the 80’s and lots of British bands had “integrated” groups and made no big thing out of it” Thompson Twins; Fine Young Cannibals; Culture Club; and this other duo with one white guy and one black guy (and I saw them in concert, too, but forgot their name.)

I wish that were still the case. So what if you are black, so what!

The first paragraph is certainly a rambling, incoherent, self-contradictory piece.

What was said is not as important as realizing that BLM is now in England and also in Australia. Basically BLW is funded wherever people speak English and wouldn’t it be interesting to know who is funding them.
