Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 10/21/2020 | Oona Goodin-Smith, Anna Orso and Raishad Hardnett,

Philadelphia Black Lives Matter activists say they’re building the movement beyond protests — they’re confronting the disparities that put people in the criminal justice system in the first place ---SNIP--- After Philadelphia’s summer of protests against police brutality and systemic racism, activists are moving into a new season. They’re sustaining momentum by expanding their objectives and establishing their own community group model, working in the neighborhoods they want the city to invest in.

protests against police brutality and systemic racism

They were protesting against Affirmative Action?

You're no-doubt correct. Post something like that on FB or IG and you'd probably get enough backlash to get your account banned or locked for a week or two.

The ironic thing is, all those people who would immediately jump on a comment like that...they are the actual racists. There was no racial undertones to my point - don't commit crimes and you won't run afoul of the criminal justice system. Simple. Don't touch the hot stove and you won't get burned. Don't hit your thumb with the hammer and it won't hurt...

But all those people who would immediately jump on that comment and scream in virtue-signally rage about my white privilege??? In order to do that they have to be making a fundamental assumption about the racial makeup of people running afoul of the criminal justice system.

Sure, they'll tell you they are not racist, that it's not racist for them to assume some correlation between race and crime. They'll justify it as they are only considering rates of incarceration, making an observation of objective facts. Yet if you or I turn around and point out that minorities commit a disproportionate percentage of crimes, another objective fact, these same people will scream in rage at us that we're racist.

Their "logic" is, well, not really logic at all. Just emotions and twisted messaging jumbled up in nonesense. The byproduct of too much manipulation by leftists...

I can envision mass deportations of BLM/Antifa with citizenship being stripped.

Or I can envision lots of pink mist in the air.

Either one involves them ‘going away’.

Perhaps they will be hunted down, like the animals they are, and destroyed.

BLM has been exposed. It doesn’t have a fraction of the public support it did. Andy Ngo routinely posts BLM mugshots on Twitter. A larger collection of mental case losers, you will never find. No normal person wants to join THAT team. Without normal mainstream types supplying cover these loons, they will dissolve back into whatever basement they came from.

That works, too, although it not as permanent a fix as needs be.

Winter rioting isn’t as much fun. Water cannons fired over their heads. Hypothermia is a bitch.

Yes. Yes they are.

Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Police Department can do very little with the names, given the current DA, the Mayor and City Council. With the exception of a token Republican presence on the Council, Philadelphia is a “progressive” Democrat mecca that is more interested in “social justice” than in protecting the rights of all residents to live in safety. If Biden wins, and with the 50 plus years of Democrat control in Philadelphia, BLM and Antifa will have places of honor at the table.

Interesting tidbit from the article showing once again how out of touch white progressives are with the black community.

A poll conducted this summer by the Pew Charitable Trusts showed 14% of Philadelphians — and 6% of Black residents — favor reducing the size of the Police Department

True. Whether the Communist Antifa and Black Lives MatterTM stay or go is completely up to the government of Communist China.

What needs to happen is to discover who is providing the funding for these guys, and deal with THEM.

Without funding, with the need to hold real jobs, these guys will disappear.
