If the killings of 5 police officers in Dallas, Texas have shown us anything, its that violence breeds more violence, and extremism is a recipe to tear a national conscious apart.
Black Lives Matter is seen by some as a modern Civil Rights movement where activists seek justice and reform by protest and activism. Issues such as police brutality, inconsistencies in the justice system, and broader inequality within the nation, are topics BLM has painted as crises for the country.
The Black Lives Matter organization undermines any opportunity to seek meaningful reform on the issue of police use-of-force by instead pursuing an agenda of violence, resistance and chaos. However, to understand the true aims of many affiliated with this movement one must delve into the past, including the echoes of the black power movement.
The 1960s were a volatile time for the nation. Truly peaceful civil rights protests, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, and were broadly successful in ending Jim Crow segregation in the south and inspired the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But there was also a different kind of movement at the time, one more focused on separation and violence than the ideals of Dr. King.
This was the black power movement.
This movement sought to achieve its goals through violence rather than by peaceful protest. Such groups included the Black Panthers, the Black Guerilla Family, and the Black Liberation Army.

Good book.

They are connected to Islamic terrorists as well.
“This movement sought to achieve its goals through violence rather than by peaceful protest. Such groups included the Black Panthers, the Black Guerilla Family, and the Black Liberation Army.”
Odd that they chose names indicating VIOLENCE.
Ironic that nobody cares about the black abortions or murdered chicagoans.
The main difference between the 60s and today is that back then there actually was institutionalized racism.
Now the only institutionalized racism is against whites.
Ping!
It’s very telling that #blackliesmatter decided to start upping the ante at a time of increasing violence inspired by ISIS. They have essentially joined forces with them, and are now active combatants, and should be dealt with accordingly.

Well said.
It is communist redistribution of supposed injustice (a.k.a., leveling the playing field).
Is it true that Soros donated 30m to BLM?
whoops, thanks Fractal Trader.
