Black Lives Matter Movement: Good or Bad for Society?

How do you view this movement? At first they were like a swarm of locusts, in my opinion, and are funded by George Soros, but recently they've busted up DNC campaign speeches, talk from city Mayors, and even asked the candidates at the DNC Debate what they valued more between all lives and black lives.

We've gotten into heated debates before over this, but I want to talk about the movement, period, and get everyones opinion. Do you think they want equality or supremacy?

I feel like they want supremacy, there have even been recent instances where they excluded their white supporters.

It seems that this group would rather intimidate and bully people instead of act like decent people. If you want to get attention and support, you don't go in blazing with a giant chip on your shoulder and start making demands. You'll only attract the cowards, which means you're going to start feeling the push back from those that aren't afraid of you, and they're the ones that will hurt you.

O'Malley interruption



Bush interruption



Sanders interruption




Clinton interruption

 

Idea ? Good.

Execution ? Bad.

 

It's too disorganized to be effective in a positive way. I think it started with the best of intentions, but has been infiltrated with thugs who are only interested in bolstering their own power. Too many gangsters, criminals, and other radicals have identified with the movement, but their goals are certainly not equality or understanding.

 

Bad.

All lives matter. All of us have the same rights as others. The race card is a popular item these days. Maybe Russia was right all along about us. I mean, we got Obama arming terrorists, the most unqualified Dem and Repubs running for President, we have Obama taking sides with attempted cop killers....

This is embarrassing.

Not to mention, if you think "black lives matter" movement is stupid, it automatically makes you racist. That movie 'Idiocracy' was dead on!

 

It's a movement based on a lie ("hands up..") which is usually not a good sign. Now it's just a front group for black nationalism and anti-white hatred by minorities.

 

Looks like we finally agree on something... These people, or those that represent them, are looking to have supremacy over everyone.

I think soon there is going to be a resistance, and when that happens, bystanders probably aren't going to want to be in the middle of it. And the police are gonna favor one side over the one that wants to fry them like bacon.

Absolutely. And I know a whole lot of racist people, including blacks that hate blacks. At least based on the BLM logic. America has really changed.

 

Water cannon.

 

I don't even know what's good about the idea. It was based on a fabricated lie from an eye witness about hands being in the air and the guy begging and pleading not to be shot by the officer.

We all have the same opportunities, none of us can break the law without repercussion. That's common sense.

Great idea.

 

I don't feel that way about the entire movement, just those who've gone around hoping for and celebrating dead cops. They're interesting in supremacy through chaos, much the same way they gain supremacy on the block.

As brewskier point out, though, it was founded on a lie. I don't believe racism is nearly as rampant as these people believe.

 

First of all, it's race based, so that automatically makes BLMers bad. Second, they're forming into a quasi terrorist group in that they're shutting down whoever they choose to shut down just to intimidate and impose their agenda. While many liberal politicians might not want to stand up to them now, I'm pretty sure that eventually some will come out and call them what they are; a bunch of people busting balls and if you ask them what for they'll just say they want justice. And if you ask "justice for what?" then you'll be called a racist.

In my entire life I've never seen race relations spiral downward as fast as it did during the last 7 years. Oddly enough, I don' recall any left wingers trying to blame Bush for that fall.

But get a load of the above picture. The woman in the middle isn't wearing shoes and the woman to the right of her is wearing gladiator shoes.And what is the guy on the left wearing? What the hell are those things? Plus the girl on the right looks angy and the guy on the left looks like he just got scolded and feels guilty about what he did.

 

What do you mean "these people"?
The Democrat party sponsors those celebrating dead cops. In fact, didn't Obama personally call the parents of Attempted-cop killer Mike Brown?

 

Look at it this way - Martin Luther King, Jr. and his followers had a lot more to complain about (and rightly so) than the BLM crowd, but King didn't resort to their tactics.

I've never been impressed with attention whores and people who use the heckler's veto to try and get their point across. The failure of BLM activists can be seen in how their antics have drawn attention away from their cause and on to themselves and their tactics. It kinda reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's complaints about the clowns in the "anti-war" movement during the Vietnam War and how they undermined their cause.

 

Those are the same ones interrupting speeches and such too. You're absolutely right in that they want supremacy through chaos, and that's why they've used their privilege to go above the law and disrupt people and send death threats to police everywhere. If they can make police the bad guys, they can continue their endeavor to destroy all who oppose them and face little to no consequence in the meantime. And you sure as hell better not disagree with them.

 

Blacks in the US kill each other moreso than any other comparison. Their communities are crime ridden and their educational performance sucks. Fixing black America requires an internal solution.

 

BLM members.

Obama has handled this issue extremely poorly.

 

I agree. Too many blacks place too much emphasis on being anti-white.

 

All great points. I can tell you this, the barefooted one looks like her leg stops and bends into a 10" slab of fat on both legs. Her gladiator sandals were probably hurting her fat slabs. The guy on the left is in the worst American fashion since knickerbockers, skinny jeans. I'm only 36, but I clearly remember the 80's and up. Never have I seen race relations take the dive that we've taken under obama either. Any unbiased person can see that, and because of that, this group has been using their black privilege to gain attention by intimidation and bullying.

 

Guess my joke didn't land.

Yes I agree

 

I'd have a hard believing that MLK would favor the way these people are going about their business. The guy worked hard and died for the fight in equality, and these people have damn come along and destroyed the quality of that fight.

 

Those are the ones that could help themselves but are intellectually lazy and would rather be given free help. They'll get up and move as fast as lightening if it stands a chance at giving them supremacy, but when it comes to having a better life, they're opting out.

 

Its segregation.

Its racist.

Its anti-White.

And its a disgusting bit of hypocrisy so vile that only a liberal would support it.

 

Nothing but a communist front who's real goal is anarchy. Why do you think "Comrade" Bernie Sanders and "Natasha" Clinton are so sympathetic to their "cause".

 

I think the slogan would of had more power had it been .... Black lives matter too

as many on the other side have spun it to mean only black lives matter

 

The black lives matters movement is a terrible negative including for blacks as it is essentially a campaign for radical segregation and division. The Democrats will fully support this as they NEED for blacks to not see themselves as part of we-the-people and not part of American society with everyone else. By definition it is advocating racial division.

 

They call themselves "black lives matter" period. That's what they mean, plain and simple. It's a typical left wing hate group run by the communist party.
