Mr. President, Here Is What You Must Say About Black Lives Matter

[Kaslin]

The following is the speech and advice I would like to hear President Donald Trump deliver to Black Lives Matter protestors. And, of course, it's important for the 63 million Trump voters in the "silent majority" to hear these words, too.

You have it all wrong. I know you hate to hear this, but ... ALL LIVES MATTER. I'll never stop saying it. America is not a racist country. That's precisely why black lives matter, white lives matter, Asian lives matter, Jewish lives matter, gay lives matter, all lives matter equally.

If you don't agree or find that offensive, too bad. If you truly want 'equality' (as opposed to superiority), then you can't march for black lives only. We all have to be in this together. If you want white Americans fighting for Black Lives Matter, then you must acknowledge all lives matter.

Former President Ronald Reagan said America is the "shining city upon a hill." The U.S. Constitution, limited government and a capitalist economy have done more to reduce poverty and uplift Americans, including black Americans, than any system of government and economics in the history of mankind.

While I respect the goal that I believe many, if not most, BLM protestors are marching for -- to make a more 'just and fair' society -- they need to be aware that they are being used as a tool by those who want to destroy this country. How do I know that? Because if justice, fairness and equality are truly their goal, their actions make no sense. Let me ask the protesters the following:

-- Why aren't you outraged at those who burned, looted and destroyed businesses in low-income minority neighborhoods that good people spent their entire lives building? Many of those businesses were black-owned businesses. Do black businesses matter?

-- Why aren't you outraged that thousands of black citizens are murdered every year by young black men in our inner cities? Where are your marches or protests about that?

-- Are you outraged when black cops are wounded or murdered? Do their lives matter?

-- What about black babies? Millions of black babies have been murdered through abortion. Do black babies matter?

-- Why aren't you up in arms that millions of black children live in broken homes and attend schools where they don't learn even basic reading, writing and math skills? Over $400 million of property was burned or destroyed on just the first day of the George Floyd/BLM riots. What could $400 million have done for the black community? Or for the education of black kids?

-- Why aren't you concerned that good, hardworking, tax-paying black citizens are left defenseless in high-crime neighborhoods by strict gun control laws? Criminals have no problem finding guns. But you are left helpless like fish in a barrel.

-- Why aren't you concerned that illegal aliens are encouraged to take the jobs of black Americans and then protected in 'sanctuary cities' by Democratic politicians who you vote for?

WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE?

If you truly care about generations stuck with poverty, crime, police abuse and hopelessness, then why are you destroying property and abusing the police? Protest at the Democratic mayor's and governor's mansions. These are the people you elected. These are the people controlling the money and economic opportunity.

If Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, Newark or Atlanta are in decay and misery, only your Democratic politicians are to blame. Those cities are run almost exclusively by black Democrats. What have they done for you? How has your life improved with them in charge?

Far too often, Democratic politicians in deep-blue cities only care about retaining power and lining their own pockets.

Here is a simple fact: After all these years, with trillions of taxpayer dollars spent by Democratic politicians, there is absolutely no excuse for the condition of our inner cities, for the crime, for the failing schools, for the lack of opportunity. Democrats have been 100% in charge, and your life has only gotten worse.

It appears Democrats have done an outstanding job of exchanging the physical chains of slavery for economic desperation and dependency.

That may be why my actions and Joe Biden's have been so different. In less than four years, I've passed criminal justice reform; created Opportunity Zones; guaranteed funding for historically black universities; and implemented economic policies resulting in the lowest black unemployment and poverty in history. Those accomplishments dwarf what Biden can claim after 40 do-nothing years.

Yes, black lives matter. Because all lives matter. Yes, we need police reform. We're all in this together. We have to be. Do you want real change? Vote the Democratic bums running your deep-blue cities and states out. What have you got to lose? It can't get any worse than what they've produced."

BLM started when a thug got what he deserved. BLM is shake-down racket. Loud mouth blacks and their Antifa “muscle” have got the liberals intimidated. But the DNC leadership is trying to use it as weapon to defeat President Trump. Blacks will keep on killing blacks, and nobody will care.

[HighSierra5]

It would be nice to have an intelligent conversation with the other side i.e. commies,but you don’t try to pet a rattlesnake. You chop their head off.

[aces]

yep, they did the “rattlesnake crawl” , a song by John Layne and Aeon’s Promise

From July 4,1776 to July 4, 2020, this is what we have become.

Even at the time of the Civil War, it wasn’t assumed freed slaves would remain in the reunited country. The issue remained unresolved, and is the cause of the current state of affairs.

[MagillaX]

It is important to understand in the black community we are seeing the result of a feeling of oppression without those oppressed fully understanding the cause.

To some who just look at our laws and opportunity they do not understand how this could be. But a person is more than just a physical being. Mental, emotional, and spirituality must be considered.

This oppression must be recognized as real and then it must be named. This is the missing link to all that has been happening. In an attempt to force the hand of God and claim political power BLM has entered the scene and named the cause but has done so incorrectly.

It is incumbent on those of us to correctly name the problem and to communicate it to those affected in the most simplistic terms. People who are injured and behaving in a knee jerk behavior or have given up all together are partly deaf to the conversation.

For Christians we would understand the name of the one behind the oppression. We must bring together church leaders in the communities. President Trump has been developing relationships with these leaders but they need to be even more empowered.

Crime is left unabated constantly preying on the vulnerable. This is difficult since the police oversight is performed by local officials who are many times corrupt. But a federal task force can be developed to provide training and oversight to these local communities to ensure any police abuse is minimal.

Push for abortion free zones within inner cities to curb the continued slaughter of children of color.

Education grants to those in major crime areas to live on campus outside those cities.

And again explaining the slave owner roots of the Democratic party.

We can do this, impossible things happen all the time for those who try.

BLM and Antifa are antisemites and the media shields thrm from charges of racism and being hate groups.

Vandalizing a synagogue in Fairfax with Kill Cop F-Jews is a abundantly clear.

[a fool in paradise]

Since communist believe the very foundation of this country was wrong and despise our Constitution, there can be no ‘agreement’ or compromise. They seek to overthrow the government and replace it with Communism.

[LambSlave]

This is an idiots speech that plays right into communist hands; you can't reason with them, that's what they want you to do. Eventually you will make a small compromise, but they never will.

Rule #1 for negotiating with communists-- Do NOT negotiate with communists.

Rule #2: Never accept the enemies premises/assumptions-- This has nothing to do with race, they are just using that because in the US class warfare failed to work, and here most people are so afraid to be called racist and they can use it to threaten livelihoods. Look at what BLM is, most of the leadership, financing, management are white commies, the blacks are just token foot soldiers for optics. They don't care about black lives, or businesses, or any other of the author's carefully constructed points so pursuing a rational dialog with them is beyond fruitless, it's playing right into their hands.

Rule#3: Never cede any ground on ANY issue to the commies-- they will use it as a precedent in public perception and the courts to expand control. I just got back to the states after a few years on the DMZ in Korea in 1990, went to college to get a physics degree when I encountered these commies for the first time with their long hair and commie-babble. They were going around with a petition to ban certain words on campus.. Basically racial slurs, homosexual slurs, etc. I saw what they were doing, and my only response was "F*#$ You N-words"-- I didn't spend years of my life trying to stop the spread of communism so you could plant the seeds of power here. My behavior shocked my friends who accused me of being a racist, but I would not back down-- I knew this was just a starting point that they would build on over time.

I explained why and now today I talked to one of those friends who admitted that even at twenty years old I saw it all crystal clear. Those commies were weak cowards, even ten of them had no chance against one former soldier, and I beat the crap out of them several times. But as we all know, they won the war of public opinion and infiltrated all our institutions. If everyone had taken an unpopular stand then and not ceded them one inch they would never have gained so much power.

Rule #4: At the end of the day the only thing communists respect is violence-- if you want to stop a communist insurrection you either eradicate them, or make them so afraid that they crawl back into the sewers from which they came and cower in fear. If they are not afraid for their lives, they are plotting against you.

End rant.

[nicollo]

The better response is to ignore the “xyz lives matter” altogether, as it just plays into their hands.

The fundamental argument of BLM is straight out of the marxist critical race theory that claims that victims cannot themselves victimize others. By that theory, black on black crime is actually white on black crime, as blacks are merely acting under white racism. Trying to argue back that “all lives matter” merely reinforces the false origin of the “BLM” statement.

Don’t get sucked into their rhetorical trap.
