Black Lives Matter Movement: Good or Bad for Society?

I'm sure it takes quite a bit of legitimate hard work and preparation to become a Fulbright scholar and to graduate from UCLA.

 

I think President Obama had good intentions. He wanted to have an honest conversation about race. Too many other people were just interested in using whatever he said against him.

 

Probably the first step and the sacrificial lamb to what will eventually become a more reasoned debate on calmer water.

 

It is a movement that comes with pros/cons, but it will lead to mostly 'good'. It is also necessary to addressing issues which exist in African American communities. It is a LATE but budding movement (as all have been).

It is likely to do what other strong movements have done in American society; it will alter the sociopolitical landscape. And as I suggested before, considering outcomes (especially pertaining to law enforcement, in African American communities), something like BLM is actually necessary (and it is as "American grass roots" as any movement that came before it).

 

...and the minute you libs defend these racist anti-American anarchist you never had any credibility to began with.

 

This is not a "movement." It is a collection of useful idiots being used by the race industry to perpetuate the victimology that is its only source of power.

 

there is good and bad in every group, unless you think all tea partiers are evil cause some are

 

They remind me of the Black Panthers in that the beginning of the movement was legit but the execution turned militant.

 

I'm going to really enjoy watching when their imported Muslims kick them out of their politically correct neighborhoods.

 

Blacks in the US are not as law abiding as whites.

There are reasons for much of the police attention they receive.

 

Right.

A bunch of self-serving, politically-correct professors were too scared to flunk their most hate-filled, racist student, who was then further enabled by a program now apparently tilted toward minorities.

Now she is doing just what her most manipulative mentors hoped, and raising Hill in the US...and causing the jobs of US police to be even more risky than previously.

You don't have to be intelligent to be a rabble rouser. It is sufficient to have a high energy level propelled by hate and self righteousness.

It is easy to be self righteous when you are too stupid to face facts, and it's easy to be irresponsible when you're too stupid to care about the harm you are causing.

She thinks her "work" is "art". What she has actually done is undermined all the progress made by people like Obama.

Many artists IMO have never cared if their work drew out the worst in people.

She and the country at large would be better off if she underwent psychotherapy.

This whole business has just about convinced me that the "inequality" our black population keeps yammering on about is due, at this point, mainly to the apparently true fact that their average IQ really is 85, as astounding as that seems.

She probably has an IQ of 90 or 95, which, under affirmative action, might have been enough to float her to the top.

No one can be so self righteous without also being stupid. It's just not possible.

 

Recently, a large group of white student protesters stepped to the front of a rally and formed a human shield to protect black protesters from the police.

The rally took place in South Africa, where police officers had previously used brutal force against the predominantly black demonstrators who turned out to peacefully protest rising university fees.

There were a number of ridiculous statements in your post. How can you say things like her professors were afraid to flunk her, with nothing to back it up, and expect to be taken seriously? Your link to the Fulbright program proves nothing. I could have stopped reading there, surmising that the rest of the post would be similar.

 

I find it quite amusing liberal democrats embrace a racist violent pack of BULLIES and preach anti-bullying , and diversity ( which is code word for NOT white )
If it wasn't so pathetic we would have a belly laugh ! What a pack of liberal hypocrites !

 

They're the black KKK.

This picture says it all about what kind of president this guy would be.

 

All you have to do is really LOOK at her facial expressions on her bb to know what she is.

Perhaps you are blind.

 

What that yelling girl really needs is a swift slap across the mouth. Too bad it would not be legal to do it.

The youth have no respect for anyone or anything anymore.

 

Where I live, aggressively (screaming, threatening, touching, disrupting, and intimidating) is called assault and is a class C felony. It seems to me that what they are doing should be considered assault, and they should be charged. Blacks are playing this BLM movement for everything they can. Intimidating people has been their modus operandi for decades now. They need to be put back in the box from whence they came before they go completely psycho and start massacring people. They look like wild animals in many of these videos. The apologist in the first part of the video blames everyone but the biatches that assaulted Bernie Sanders.

Why? Does the truth hurt? Of course it is left wing. It is a hate group and funded by Soros and sanctioned by Obama.

Obama fuels the flames of the anti-cop movement
By Michael GoodwinOctober 24, 2015

At a White House discussion about improving the  relationship between police departments and  black Americans, President Obama declared that “the moment is here.”
He meant a chance for big change, and that’s the problem. The change he and his allies are achieving is like throwing gasoline on a raging fire.
Consider that at about the same time the nation’s first black president was speaking to police chiefs and prosecutors, a group called Black Lives Matter was denouncing police brutality in Times Square, real and imagined. In another sad coincidence of timing, they marched as the city was mourning the murder of NYPD Officer Randolph Holder, the fourth New York City cop killed in 11 months.
Officer Holder was black, as is his alleged killer, but that mattered not a whit to the protesters. One told Fox News that she hopes Holder’s family “realizes that his life is included in the ‘Black Lives Matter’ slogan.”
“We’re talking about black bodies being persecuted across the world,” she added.
This is nonsense on steroids, yet these are the president’s shock troops. Obama and confidante Valerie Jarrett earlier met with the radicals leading the Black Lives Matter movement and encouraged them to keep going, the group has said.
Obama, at last Thursday’s event, praised the group again while also claiming that “everybody understands that all lives matter. Everybody wants strong, effective law enforcement. Everybody wants their kids to be safe when they are walking across the street. Nobody wants to see police officers who are doing their jobs fairly hurt. Everybody understands it’s a dangerous job.”
His saying so doesn’t make it true. The anti-police movement sweeping urban areas proves that many people actually don’t want strong law enforcement, and don’t have any respect for police work. Many, including those Obama met with, appear to hate all cops.
The police-brutality yarn also hides another issue. It is the documented fact that young black men commit violent crimes far out of proportion to their population.
The New York City murder rate is typical. Year in, year out, about 90 percent of homicide victims are nonwhite males, as are 90 percent of their killers.
Yes, there are bad cops, and they come in all races. But for the president to emphasize that there are brutal and racist cops, presumably white, without citing the staggering rate of black-on-black crime distorts both problems. It also misses the relationship between them.
The very nature of police work — to go where the crimes are — means cops will have more charged interactions with young black men than with other racial and ethnic groups. Had Obama acknowledged those realities, and spent serious time in his presidency working toward reducing black crime, he would have far more standing to criticize police and prosecutors.
Indeed, he could have, and should have, cited the murder of Officer Holder as an example of the complexity of the issues. An immigrant from Guyana, the 33-year-old Holder came from a family of police officers there and, after five years on the NYPD, had won several awards and aimed to become a detective. The president might have cited Holder’s sacrifice, if only to show he understands how a police shooting strikes at the heart of other cops and society as a whole.
Obama also could have cited Holder’s alleged killer to make another point. Tyrone Howard, 30, is a career criminal who has been arrested 28 times over the last 16 years, including once for the shooting of a 9-year-old boy. Even Mayor de Blasio, who won office by demonizing cops, called Howard “a hardened and violent criminal” who “should not have been on the streets.”
Howard, facing a six-year prison sentence last May for leading a drug gang, was instead sent to a drug-treatment program by overly lenient judges. He was involved in a shootout with gang rivals last Tuesday when Holder and other officers gave chase. As they got close, Howard allegedly turned and killed the cop with a single shot to the head from an illegal handgun.
Facts are stubborn things, but it is probably asking too much for anti-cop bigots to recognize them. Yet for the president of the United States to cheer their movement is more than a mistake. It is another tragic illustration of how Obama is taking America backward.

 

BLM is a political movement born of oppression.

It's not perfect (no movement is), but it is surely a sign that America is trying to correct itself.

It's not as though Black people have not suffered in special ways; they surely have. And if others won't address the fact they are being (still) oppressed, then what would anyone expect them to do? Nothing? Fall into Stockholm Syndrome? What?!

 

OMG , always the victim ! The BLM movement was in fact base on a lie ( hands up , don't shoot ) Why are all the facts lost , and glossed over ? Why the need to loot and burn down businesses where people have to make a living ? Does it matter the criminals defended by BLM were engaging in unlawful acts ?
"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility."
Eleanor Roosevelt

 

A movement based on lies and deception is NEVER good for society.

 

Sorry that some can't see the reality of things.

Perhaps, in time.

BLM is as needed and grass roots as any I've seen in my lifetime.

 

There is more to notice about the 'woman' in the middle than just the fact she isn't wearing shoes. know what i'm saying?

Calling them terrorists is right on, because that is exactly what they are--terrorists.

 

The Black Lives Matter movement is based on lies so it is not good for society. And how can something that calls for "dead cops now" be good? It is basically nothing but thugs blowing off steam and a bunch of liberals trying to get rid of white guilt. What a joke it is.
