The city of Sumner is 87 percent white, according to 2010 U.S. Census data.
But to Immaculate Ferreria-Allah, lives of minorities don’t matter any less there than in the cities where the Black Lives Matter movement took hold.
So she brought the movement to the East Pierce County suburb of about 10,000 people with a Black Lives Matter “peace gathering” event Sunday at Legacy Park, where people spoke about race relations and their experiences in their community.
“I’ve been labeled as a troublemaker in this community for saying there’s problems in this community that people say don’t exist, like racism,” said Ferreria-Allah, a lifelong Sumner resident.
Among the approximately two dozen attendees was Sumner Police Chief Brad Moericke, who Ferreria-Allah invited after meeting with him recently.
Moericke said the principles of Black Lives Matter apply to every community.
“I like Immaculate’s idea. Big or small, you start at home and grow from there,” Moericke said. “I think it’s important to have these conversations, especially when it’s not in response to an event.”
Ferreria-Allah’s husband, Natural Allah, was among the speakers at the event. He grew up in New York and moved to Sumner when the two married in 2006.
Legacy Park once hosted Ku Klux Klan meetings, Allah said, and that was why it was picked for the first Black Lives Matter event in Sumner.
“The idea was to sterilize this area with a rejuvenation and a positive meeting,” Allah said.
Allah said comparing Black Lives Matter to the KKK is unfair because the associated violence is coming from bad individuals loosely affiliated to the group. He said it would be akin to blaming Christianity for the actions of Jeffrey Dahmer, the born-again Christian who cannibalized his murder victims.
I only see one racist.
Since that Klan was a democrat organization - shouldn’t they cleanse the place with a Trump rally?
Or blaming all white people for the actions of the Democrat Party and the KKK.
This phony translave idiot (born free but self-identifying as a slave) is doing nothing with his life except creating conflict, spreading racism and promoting the leftist political agenda.
Black Leftist Mobs (BLM) don't matter.
her 15 minutesare about over
she has lost the battle to enrage black people to vote for hillary
she has rather, encouraged a segment of 15% to vote for Trump
that >15% margin is death for Hillary the campaign
. . . because blocking highways is such a wonderful way to win people over to your kind of thinking . . .
First names: Immaculate? Natural? WTF?!!?
BLM is trying to provoke a Whitey they can use to prove that all white people are racist and that Obola needs to declare martial law and suspend the election.
And she's as pleased as punch about it. Ah, the attention one garners by being a trouble-maker! Then claim to be victimized by others irritation with your antics... it's just narcissists gold.
It’s the last name I’m more worried about.
I grew up one town over from Sumner and used to go there a few times a week as my best friend lived there and they had the best 1950’s style hamburger dive in the county.
People there are salt of the earth, for the most part. Hopefully they’ll have no patience for this crap.
Isn’t that always the case?
BLM says you can’t blame all black people for the actions of the few. Yet, they will blame all white people for the actions of this nation’s misguided settlers. (BTW, my ancestors were Mennonite abolishionists. Yet, I’m guilty?)
Pot meet Kettle
What exactly are the responsibilities of blacks in 'race relations' and being American?
Trying to stir up trouble, seems to me...where there is none. KKK once met there over 50 years ago? Oh, by the way sweetie, “Immaculate” the DEMS were the KKK....and still are. (This burns me...I’m from this general area...Kent, Auburn, Sumner)
listened to the beginning of nr allah’s speech....
my assessment is that he is full of sheet... and the typical blcak chip on his shoulders..
he lived inthe bronx....so did i
and i can tell you as soon as the blacks and pureto ricans moved in murders and crime skyrocketed.... lets hear about that mr allah.... and that is why you exited for greener pastures...wisely
why
1. NYC PD DOES NOT PUT A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF COP CARS IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS
2. THERE ARE MORE CRIMES COMMITTED IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS...
and
blacks have to take resposibility to raise their kids with respect for authority....
THE BLACK PROBLEM REQUIRES A BLACK SOLUTION....PARENT YOUR KIDS
i wont go into all the out of wedlock births and the high rate in black communities but that is a good starting place mr allah....
SO NOW THAT SCUMBAG SOROS HAS FUNDED BLM WITH $100 MILLION AND USES THEM TO CAUSE RIOTS AND CRIME BLACKS THINK THEY ARE GOING TO SQUEEZE MORE OUT OF COMMUNITIES...
Ask mr allah why he chose to live in the town he chose as opposed to the ghetto..... and he will tell you because there is LESS CRIME.... does that make HIM a racist...
according to his thesis it DOES....
blm should stfu and put all that wasted energy and money into the communities...
let them start in chicago.... the black on black killing ground that the media ignores and the democrats created...
i like the fact that you didnt see blm in flooded LA... not a trace.... they dont do good they only do evil for soros...
And....I wonder who is paying these 2...
Principles? Really?
I went to their website to see their principles. Upshot in aggregate: We want to be affirmed by everyone else, but we don't have any responsibility to do anything or be anything. Oh, and keep them payments coming.
Just a rhetorical question: Does the presence of BLM make me, a small business owner, more likely or less likely to hire a black applicant over a white applicant, all things being equal?
Can a question be racist?
