I just read (another) article about a dead child, killed while playing in front of their home in Chicago. It got me to thinking ...
What if we (I can't because I'm in Switzerland) were to show up at the various "protests" with our own "Black Lives Matter" signs - each of which were to contain a picture of one of these innocent children and the caption about their death.
Something like
Black Lives Matter [picture] Natalia, age 7, shot in the head by ....
We could also encourage athletes to "take a knee" while holding such photos.
Maybe extend this to the adults that have become victims in this insanity.
In other words USE their narrative against them!
I’d like to see a protest: “The problems in our communities are our own damn fault.”
“Some Black Lives Matter didn’t care about these black lives.”
Excellent idea.
How about showing a picture of a black baby, and a caption “50,000,000 killed by abortion and counting”? You’d be assaulted for telling the truth.
I save all my used masks and drop them on the streets in the white, upper class, fragile neighborhood I drive through to get to work each day.
It’s a small gesture.
What don’t you like about it?
Plus pictures of aborted black babies...pieces...
I think you would probably get jumped on pretty quickly by the very people you’re trying to help. They would say something along the lines of you’re using the death of the child to make a political statement. The people who are affected by this senseless violence need to be the ones that speak out against these organizations that claim to care for them but obviously don’t . Just my .02
you would be called racist, beaten and doxxed.
The police would watch and do nothing.
won’t happen because there’s no money to be made from it.
It is a very good idea
Seems to be some “mixed” reactions.
I agree with those against abortion, but that changes the dialog entirely.
The idea is, instead of saying “All Lives Matter” or “Blue Lives Matter”, we use THEIR message and point out the hypocrisy ...
Black Lives Matter is about marxism, not black lives. That is why so many rioters are white marxists who want to overthrow the free market system. BLM uses the basic goodness of people to stop opposition to their revolution by calling the opposition racism. Your idea would be good if the real issue was really black lives.
Not without an armed Federal escort. Even then, the left would spin this as fedgov overreach.
Step One:
We admitted we were powerless against self destruction and violence and that our cities had become unmanageable.
Sadly, they don’t care about those other lives. Only we do.
That is the point!
