It was eye-opening that killing a black man makes you an honorary white in the eyes of the media.The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case. They tried to call a demilatino a white supremacist

"White" is Schrodinger's race, wherein you can become "white" upon someone witnessing you visiting harm upon a non-white person. Hence blacks harming Asians = white supremacy, a debatably-Latino man harming a black = white supremacy. "White" is both original sin that expresses itself via the harm of people who are non-white and the mark of Cain upon your skin (a la antiquated Mormon views on people with darker skin! Ain't that some shit?), depending on whichever is more applicable and more convenient.It was eye-opening that killing a black man makes you an honorary white in the eyes of the media.
Oh yeah, I remember them hijacking a vigil for the victims of the Orlando shooting. That was incredibly trashy and inappropriate, to derail a vigil for victims of a horrible hate crime to whine about white people and cops when that shit has absolutely nothing to do with the Orlando shooting anyway. I was sad how few LGBTQ people seemed to call that shit out, though at least some guys in the recording I watched were pissed (I would have been too, seriously if I was there I would've been tempted to deck those bitches).When I found out that BLM Toronto's founder called white people "melanin deficient subhumans" is when I peaked a bit. Their genuine disrespect towards anyone else peaked me even further (just search up videos of them at the Orlando Memorial Shooting). What made me go even higher was how their Americentric critical race theory bullshit was being pushed in countries like Japan and Ireland. To add insult to injury, they have an inability to call out bad behaviour from their members and allies.
13/50 refers to violent crimes, small stuff like drug possession isn't counted in that statistic as far as I know.I remember in the beginning BLM was a sentiment I agreed with. That police ought to not kill people, and especially not target a minority group that has been disproportionately and historically targeted by police. 13/50 didn’t happen just because of black people, shit like the War on Drugs sends people to prison for mere possession.
They're actually suggesting solutions now. Unfortunately, said solutions don't seem to work. Protesters chant about wanting to defund or dismantle the police force. Some want to send social workers to crime scenes instead of armed cops. In cities where the police force has been defunded, crime seems to be soaring.The problem that I saw in the beginning was, what next? Ok, black people are disproportionately targeted by police; what policies should be done, who is in charge of this movement?
There was no response outside of repeating slogans. I think my peak was in 2016 when I simply typed in Black Lives Matter goals and I went to a website that listed a whole bunch of objectives that were unrelated to police violence. I knew that without a clear goal, BLM would not be effective. And that has been demonstrated as the only changes have been increased monitoring of police actions, reductions in police budgets, and donations being siphoned into the pockets of so-called BLM leaders. Has the past 7 years of BLM resulted in any significant change in police relations with blacks? I would say no, it has only heightened the adversarial relationship between the two, making black people believe every conversation with a police officer is a chance at death and making every police officers react with hostility in approaching black people as confrontation is likely inevitable.
Said solutions are making the situations worse. The only people that benefits from them are politicans and criminals. And you know damn well the politicans are sitting cozy.They're actually suggesting solutions now. Unfortunately, said solutions don't seem to work.

The fundamental thing about BLM is that it's an insidious form of language & marketing trickery.I remember in the beginning BLM was a sentiment I agreed with. That police ought to not kill people, and especially not target a minority group that has been disproportionately and historically targeted by police. 13/50 didn’t happen just because of black people, shit like the War on Drugs sends people to prison for mere possession.

This is a fundamental societal crisis that's getting worse- that liberal tendencies are increasingly allowing antisocial elements within the Black community to do whatever they like with the understanding that they'll be backed with a mob if they meet any form of recorded resistance.OJ Simpson being acquitted because of fear of more Pre-BLM era 1992 riots and not because he was innocent.
