Black National Convention Ratifies Platform Seeking Black Liberation– ‘America Does Not Value Black Lives’
Breitbart ^ | 8/29/2020

Posted on 08/29/2020 1:00:05 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

On Friday night, radical Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists held a Black National Convention, which aimed to “reach and engage four million Black voters across the US, build infrastructure of Black political engagement that transcends the 2020 election season, and create and ratify a policy platform for the first 100 days of the next administration.”

Tens of thousands participated Friday in the virtual 2020 Black National Convention (BNC) hosted by the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), a coalition that includes dozens of radical organizations including Black Lives Matter (BLM).

The live stream was the first national political convention for black Americans in nearly 50 years and was intended to create “a vision for Black Lives before the biggest election of our time, and long after,” according to M4BL’s website.

Friday’s broadcast included policy proposals on issues such as voter suppression, reproductive rights, housing insecurity, public education inequality, and inter-communal violence, according to its agenda which was shared exclusively with the Associated Press.

Organized by the radical defund-the-police-promoting Electoral Justice Project (EJP), a project of M4BL that focuses on electoral strategy, the 2020 BNC focused on organizing black political power through the political process in order to ensure community demands are met.

“The uprising in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and countless other murders from police and vigilante violence along with the alarming Black death rate due to COVID-19 has exposed what we can no longer hide—America does not value Black lives,” said M4BL organizer and political strategist Jessica Byrd, who leads the Electoral Justice Project (EJP). “But we also know that rising up and taking action is how Black communities have secured our rights and dignity throughout this nation’s divided history.”

Well, they have a war chest of over $6B largely from corporations that their own thugs looted from, and the support of Hollywood. They can afford an extravaganza Busby Berkeley, Beyonce, and the Lardassians would be proud of!

Here she goes blithering about George floyd’s “murder”...I say it was suicide. Any way you go about it, heroin is suicide...slow, or one big hit, it’s suicide. Yes, I know it was fentaanyl, he most likely thought it was heroin.

The coroner’s report called it a heart attack. But still not murder, it also specifically said no trauma to the neck area, where the cop’s knee supposedly “murdered” saint floyd.

But I digress...

Why should anybody else value black lives when blacks themselves don’t?

Look at the murder rate in Chicago. Including nuerous youngsters under 16, all killed by blacks, usually gang members, and their black mayor does nothing.

Scroll up a couple of threads and take a look at Kenosha. That article says the hardest hit area was the “heart of the black community”.

Martin Luther King said in 1960 or 61:

We represdent 10 percent of the polpulation and 60 percent of the crime rate, we need to work on our morals and values.

* not an exact quote...

Today blacks represent about 13% of the population and 60 to 70% of the arrest rate, depending on who you ask.

That tells me two things.

1) they paid no attention to Mr King at all, and

2) they don’t have one iota of respect for themselves.

So why should anyone else?

Someone once told me respect cannot be demanded, you have to earn it. They have not earned mine.

I believe that any group of similar mind that want to form a constituency for political purposes should do so. A written platform and positions of the constituency needs to be published.

They can then advocate for their platform; however, if their platform is rejected by the larger society, they do not have the right to raise the advocacy to coercion, intimidation and violence.

They do have the right to listen to the larger society, modify and compromise their platform to make it acceptable to the larger body.

I see many parallels to the current racial unrest, and a labor union strike. Take an unreasonable position, threaten then use violence to leverage you position and settle for things you do not deserve.

They want Biden because they know they can push him around and get what they want.

Well, black and African American have been used interchangeably for decades now. It can be hard to keep up with the changes.

And watch what you say. To say “colored” people will get you fired, but “people of color” is acceptable.

It may be best not to say anything.......

I'm willing to give them California under certain conditions:

1. The people there who don't want to stay have a week to get out.
2. Anyone wanting to live in this new utopia who lives in the other 49 states get free one-way passage.
3. A wall/fence will be built on the California border.
4. The wall/fence along the California/Mexico border will be removed.
5. Whatever is there, you can keep. But you ain't getting any money from the US to keep yourselves going.
6. You no longer get any say-so in what happens in the other 49 states; think legal status of DC.
6. If you decide to stay in the other 49 states and you start this crap again, you'll be removed to California.

If they are referring to lefty amerika, THEY don’t value white life brown life yellow life either.

These racially defined marxist blackshirts don’t care about ANY human lives.

Commies like them murdered over 100 million people last century for their political agenda.

All THEY care about is gaining power for themselves.

Its time America stepped on these poisonous roaches.

We can’t even call them black nationalists - because they hate this country.

They are what they are though - racists and insurrectionists.

If they are “separatists”, they should run their own candidates, not vote like slaves for the Dems.

She should go peddle this BS in West Baltimore or South Chicago. I'm sure she would find a receptive audience. Or she may well get robbed, beaten, and shot.

How many of those non-racist European countries have non-Caucasian presidents and prime ministers again?

Um, that would be zero. Pretty much true throughout Central and South America too. Hmm....

....and they’re right I no longer ‘care’ what they want.

Me neither! They have long since exhausted any sympathy for their movement.

The black lives matter movement doesn’t seem outraged that our black Christian brothers are getting murdered in Nigeria. Their platform supports abortion of black babies. They are not about lives mattering. BLM and their ilk are about grabbing power. If they win, we all lose to Muslims or Communists. They will be the first to be sacrificed.

Well, oddly enough, the newly arrived free American blacks looked at the local native population and realized they were moving in with uncivilized savages. They more or less pushed them out of the more desirable areas of their new home. The descendants of the natives finally achieved political power around the turn of this century.

Organizations such as this are led by people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who make a great living off of keeping black people on the plantation and continually telling them that they are “victims”...

While enriching themselves.
