A "Black Lives Matter" leader has issued a dire warning for the United States: the United States needs a new Constitution or else, he warns, "it will be the bullet" for the US.
Blake Simons, who wrote an article detailing his ideas, is the Deputy Comms Director of "Afrikan Black Coalition." The name of his piece is "A New Constitution or the Bullet."
Simons writes, "Our Black Lives Matter protests have stormed the country, yet cops continue to kill us daily, and the judicial system continues to justify our deaths with acquittals, non-indictments, and light sentences-all in the name of upholding the Constitution."
After months of protesting, Simons explains that he came "to realize that the Constitution is the root of virtually all our problems in America."
He continues, "The U.S. is a country that was founded on slavery, genocide, rape, and white male patriarchy. The colonizers that we condemn for enslaving Afikans and murdering indigenous peoples are the same people that produced and upheld the document we use to govern our nation to this day. Our bloodshed is rooted in this nation’s founding document, The Constitution."
For this reason, there "must be a new constitution or the bullet."
"A Constitution written by only white men will never serve the interests of Black people," Simons argues. "The Constitution was written for the ruling class of white men which constructed whiteness to be more valuable than any other race. When we discuss institutional racism, it is essential that we realize that the Constitution created it."
Simons then lays out his demands. "The United States has failed us; it is time we demand a new constitution or tell America that she will get the bullet," he says. "White supremacy’s bullets are killing Black people every day. If America does not protect us, then it is our human right to defend ourselves by any means necessary. It is our human right to overthrow a government that has been destructive to our people. This is why we must rise up and let all people come together and write new constitution to serve ALL people."
According to Simons, the example set by the Black Panthers must be followed. "The idea for a new constitution is not a new idea, rather an old one that was developed by the Black Panther Party," he writes. "In 1970, the Black Panther Party organized a Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention, however, after infiltration by the illegal COINTELPRO the idea never came into fruition. We must pick up where the Black Panthers left off and declare a new constitution or it will be the bullet."
He concludes his article with the warning, "If America fails to allow all people of this nation to write a new constitution, then it will be the bullet. Revolution is inevitable in a society that does not value the lives of all people."
It’s like putting up with a tantruming child.
Sooner or later, someone is going to say “shut up and sit down”.
‘Bullets’ it is....
“A Constitution written by only white men will never serve the interests of Black people,”
Feel free to scoot yer butt back to Africa and write one for yourselves with your brothers over there... see how that works out for ya!
They have no idea what they’re wishing for.
Tough talk from a guy who has most likely never played on the two way range.
Blah Blah.
People need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Conservatives own guns by the hundreds of millions.
Conspiracy to overthrow the government through force.
Setting aside that element, I really wish people like this would be confronted with how the numbers aren’t exactly in their favor. Not just in terms of population demographics but also geography. Their “revolution” just can’t spread very far beyond the urban population centers, most of those killed will be their own people or allies (Liberal urban hipsters) and they can be contained and subjected to seige/starvation tactics.
For example,Iirc, all of NYC’s water flows in through two big pipes (with a third being built). Turn the valves off somewhere Upstate and watch how fast the “revolution” crumbles.
I see...so you're another victim. So, how does this relate to today? How many trillions have we flushed down the toilet for your people simply because they won't help themselves? Perhaps it's time for your people to realize that schooling matters, the family unit matters, and people are tired of your incessant whining. Get off your lazy ass and start cleaning up your own house. You're not a victim, you're left behind because you choose to make poor decisions. Change that and see what happens.
Bring it dumba$$
Be careful what you wish for. There are plenty of unpopulated islands in the middle of earth’s oceans that troublemakers can be deported to, as England did when they shipped criminals to Austrailia.
Would this make more sense to me if I was REALLY drunk?
If the ‘black lives mattered’ so bad, why are there so many abortions in the black communities...why are 99.9% of them on welfare, unemployed, have 3-4 kids with different daddies...and why do they kill one of there own so much, thinking Baltimore, Ferguson, Chicago...
If you think you want to really end your lives, and this is how your going to do it, bring it on...you won't like the outcome but hey, people have done more stupid things in life....
Remember Rorkes Drift.
Bring it.
Sounds like a Suicide Note to me.....

Last weekend in Chicago, 11 wounded, 1 dead. Those are pretty consistent statistics. Not a bunch of sharp-shooters.
Bring it on!
If all the whiners concentrated on reforming the process rather than trashing the GOPe pick of the cycle, we might actually get somewhere.
After the McGovernites got shellacked in 1972, they went to work reforming the process and taking control of the machinery, the rules and the allocation of delegates.
When I suggested we do the same in 2008, it was McCain this, McCain that, McCain is a RINO and lousy candidate.
When I suggested we do the same in 2012, it was Romney this, Romney that, Romney is a RINO and lousy candidate.
I made specific common sense proposals which were, by and large, dismissed with the foregoing type of whining. The basic problem is that states which seldom, if ever, deliver electoral votes to the GOP nominee in November have an oversized role in selecting the candidate.
The purpose of the Constitution was to establish ordered liberty and to prevent tyranny.It made it possible for the people to attain the three great goals of freedom, prosperity and peace.
Bring it on ‘Bro’ I can hardly wait.
