Black Lives Matter movement nominated for Nobel peace prize
The Guardian ^ | 1/29/2021 | Martin Belam

The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world. In his nomination papers, Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies.

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality. Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice,” Eide said. “They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.”

It lost all credibility when they awarded it to Arafat.

I agree with this. They can piggyback on the Nobel Prizes given to Barack Obama and Al Gore. A Nobel Prize has far less significance than the Crayola Prize your child drew for you.

It’s distressing, the number of articles where I immediately check to see if it’s from the Babylon Bee.

Sounds OK to me. After all, isn’t peace all about throwing petrol bombs at government buildings and police cars?

PEACE PRIZE???
Tell that to the scores of people beaten up going to and from Trump rallies, Blue Line rallies, anything that does not support communist/globalist causes.

The Nobel has reduced meaning anyway. Reduced value after giving one to Obama just for being black and taking a nice picture.

What’s a Nobel Peace Prize worth these days? A bucket of warm spit?

For the mostly peaceful PROtests no doubt. It all boils down to 💰💰💰 eofs! The “cause”? Cause we don’t have enough of your money yet.

The good news is that Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot are all on target to receive their Nobel Prize posthumously for their efforts so many decades and generations ago - it’s time to recognize and give credit where it is due! /s

They weren’t violent - they got a peace prize! How can they be violent if they got a peace prize!
