    They are a activist group trying to stop the endless killings, incarceration and mistreatment of their people by the government. If your movement serves a noble cause, sure, why not?


    Nope. What WPG said. It was formed before Michael Brown.

    It's symptomatic of economic strife--the same way birth rates and unwed birth rates are inversely related to income in every single racial group.

    After rewatching The Wire it got me thinking about Hamsterdam, how they took the d--- dealers out of public places and threw them in vacant places where they couldn't bother the law abiding public... Then I went on Facebook and my newsfeed was a sea of uninformed political opinions and I started thinking we should make a social media hamsterdam. Throw all of the political posts on Myspace or maybe even AOL.

    I'm imagining a conference call where someone says "let's demand that we get to hire/fire/discipline cops" and multiple other people think that's a reasonable idea

    And worth noting the role slavery played in undermining black families for hundreds of years lol. White people hostile to blacks attaining any level of success first manually undercut their ability to have stable home life, then they impeded it throughout economic policies and publicly shamed them lol. It's a clear thread.

    What are you talking about? Asian Americans "get it" better than white americans do. It's proven that Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the country.

    That post was made as like an extension of my previous post I was talking about Australia more specifically casual/everyday racism in which yea Muslims and Asians get it much worse and I would chalk it up to there actually being an abundance of positive black role models in sports and arts/other media plus blm and similar things are just constantly such a hot topic everyone's so wary of that there's nothing seen as "cool" about being a Muslim kid unfortunately if ur African American in an Australian school you're about to be the coolest kid in your year

    I figured the white guilt ridden cuck would eventually show up in this thread.

    Here is the overall theme to the demands:
    Excuses with no acceptance of responsibility for choice or action

    That is why this movement will never have universal support. Regardless of economic strife or anything that comes with it, no one wants to accept responsibility for their actions. You may be pushed to a life of crime, but you always have a choice.

    Programs and policies to help guide impoverished black communities away from the pressures of their environment is more than warranted. However, asking for people to just forget transgressions and an ability to control law enforcement is plain stupid and misses the point. It's not worth engaging if that is the starting point.

    This doesn't make sense to me. What are you referencing? Nowhere in BLM's platform does it ask for black people to be allowed to commit crimes with impunity.

    eliminating the use of past criminal histories to determine eligibility for jobs and other services.

    They are asking every employer to just disregard any crime
