Black Lives Matter is racist against blacks
American Thinker ^ | 07/05/2020 | Paul Heinz

I've seen an argument on right-leaning sites pointing out that BLM is racist against white people. While BLM is certainly guilty of that, the movement is actually racist in the old-fashioned, Ku Klux Klan way, as mentored through a century of life by Old Mr. Jim Crow himself. It's racist, in other words, not so much to white people, but to the black people it claims to champion.

It takes as a first position a concept of the African-American male as without agency. He is without impulse control, without self-restraint, with tendencies toward violence, rape, murder, and inability to conceive of consequences. No old seg could have phrased it better.

That being the case, it implies that the police must be prepared to accept such behavior as the norm. Thus, when confronted by a clearly under-the-influence perpetrator like George Floyd, it is incumbent on them not to confront and restrain as part of the process, but to give him room and time to act out. He can't help himself; they can.

In their ideal world, the police officers withdraw across the street and observe as Floyd rants and raves and carries on while zephyrs of fentanyl drive him into deep tantrum at the unfairness of it all. Eventually, he will tire himself out, come down, begin to recover his self-awareness. At that point, a non-white officer should approach him, request his acquiescence on the legal issue, and escort him peacefully and uncuffed to the station.

That should make everyone happy, except those whose police calls went unanswered while the blues were handling Floyd with BLM-Rx TLC, and all the victims of all the young men who see the cops acting like both nannies and ninnies and decide, there being no downside, that crime is a good career move.

Some Black Lives Matter is about the Left’s Revolution, and about the narratives that they hope to foster it by, not about black people.

The Left has been holding-back black Americans for 50 years, with its message of government dependence, family and community destruction, and victimhood.

BLM has multiplied those themes, and will completely push them over a cliff.

BLM, Antifa and the others are all externally funded parts of the world wide Communist movement that will not rest until the whole world is enslaved. It is not a game.

The events of late confirms what I’ve known for decades: Many, many blacks don’t want equality, they want revenge.

“It takes as a first position a concept of the African-American male as without agency. He is without impulse control, without self-restraint, with tendencies toward violence, rape, murder, and inability to conceive of consequences.”

And the rebuttal to this is what, NAXALT? Or, well, a white person did a bad thing, so, racists BTFO? What is described above is by no means limited to America. It is the case everywhere. Is this descriptive of 100% of any population, or even a majority? No, but it is still enough to make a huge impact across a population.

Sure, you can argue that it’s “culture and not skin color.” Skin color is meaningless. A host of other things do matter. They correlate with race. Skin color is not what makes Hong Kong different from Mogadishu. You can argue that it’s money, but the NFL is full of criminal millionaires.

There are geniuses and idiots of every race. Culture is not made by outliers of any kind. Across a population, the differences matter. A lot. It’s the difference between Detroit in 1950 and Detroit today. It is the difference between the local public high school in 1960 vs. that same school today.

Many blacks do want revenge. I do not know what % of blacks. Slavery: Blacks doing nothing while Whites do all the work. Black Lies Matter is the Black KKK. Beatings, Rapes, Lynchings are just simply a form of revenge against Whites for stuff that happened 150 years ago. And the measurements of percentages are the biscuit. What percent of blacks want revenge?! And how does The LBJ Great Society fit in? The poverty program pays black women to generate babies for future Democrat votes. In other words...a slave plantation in year 2020.

The problem is blacks put pressure on other blacks to go along with the revenge fantasy.

BLM is the most racist group in America. They use blacks for the slogan. They don’t care about black lives. They won’t even need to worry about black lives in a few years. Black populations are shrinking as a percentage of Americans. People who associate as black primarily are around 12% of the population. Another 3% claim to have some black heritage. That compares to 17% Hispanic. And 7% Asian. If things keep going this way, we will be 10% Asian by 2030, 20% Hispanic, and still 12% black, with a growing number of people who associate with some black mixed with other groups.

Blacks will be aborted or murdered into a subservient role. While the other groups rise to prominence politically. BLM just needs to put blacks in the front ranks of the demonstrations so they can wreak havoc from behind. The money donated to BLM is not going to Black people or their causes. Its going to a new communist party. Which will lose the name BLM as soon as their cover is blown.

Black folks are not the majority protesting in these BLM terrors..I don’t know why they are allowed. Fear is the only thing that will make these animals crawl back into their holes.. instead they are being coddled like errant children. Truth of it is they are evil. Very evil..

BLM is nothing more then a left Marxist group who hire token blacks and white people with an IQ of 40 to make the movement to appear real.
Not the first time the left played this gig just look at all of the fake groups the left has used to knock out Trump,the only thing they have done id murdered their party.
They will never stop to try and make America Cuba 2.

The leaders of the movement were bought out by the funders of antifa. It is now a Marxist revolutionary army that could care less about blacks but are using it a s a racist shield for extortion against American businesses. The corporations and businesses that take the knee and support them are funding thier anarchist cause and not the original cause of the black mans protest

Both of the BLM founders were and still are Marxists. They weren’t “bought out”, there were Marxists from the start and use their organization to exploit the black population by turning them into unwitting “black shirts” (as in Mussolini’s paramilitary group) in their attempted Communist revolution.
