Does Black Lives Matter Create a Hostile Work Environment?

It is apparently not possible for yourself to comment in this discussion without grossly and deliberately misrepresenting what other participants have to say.

 

Nonsense. It creates a hostile environment for anyone not willing to carry the woke party line. That is to say sane and rational people everywhere.

 

Just going by what you’re posting.

 

For many years, individuals in the united states have been talking about a hypothetical "civil war" emerging for one reason or another. Unless it is all just empty talk and rhetoric by those who are simply displeased with the way the world is going, let them prove they mean what they say.

 

BLM is a terroristic organization in tactics; it is also a cash cow, and when donations started appearing they have jumped on that, and are driven by it. Every accommodation has led to more aggression, not any kind of peace or appreciation- they just get worse. The core tactic outside of the intimidation by riots IS the attack on the character and career of anybody who points out the truth about the movement and the organization, and unfortunately that intimidates a lot of people. It doesn't change people's minds however, in fact it galvanizes their opinion against the BLM scheme, but it does limit blowback.

What a lot of people don't understand at all is that our black population is itself divided. There are the true citizens; good people that lead honorable lives, raise fine children- and then, there is the trash. I think the good people are the majority- but the trash is so violent, so lacking in basic character, that it's impact is even more out of proportion to the size of it. Of course there are good and bad in all races and societies; however in our black population the extent of the trash is disproportionately high, and disproportionately troublesome. The good citizens are painfully aware of the trash and know that much of what seems to be racism toward all is created because of the stigma created by the trash. BLM is driven by the mentality of the trash- not the good people. It's very much gangsta mentality, that they are entitled and can take, that they should be respected without acting respectable, that values such as honesty and integrity don't apply to them because they are special and exempted. Trash.

 

Nice attempt at a diversion away from your empty talk and rhetoric.

 

A BLM mob straight up murdered a white mother for saying All Lives Matter. They are a racist terrorist organization. The MSM media won't touch it of course.

@ECA, should saying that All Lives Matter be a death penalty for whites? Actually don't answer that question, I don't think I want to see your answer for that.

 

The BLM political organizers and other Cultural Marxist individuals and followers (e.g. DiAngelo's new Post-modern fundamentalist religion teachings of "White Fragility") are having a toxic influence on the core American value of liberalism, achieved through free speech. They are regressive, not progressive. This Cultural Marxist ideological dogma has slowly seeped off of University campus Sociology Departments, then to other "rational" college departments, and is now spreading into the workplace and through society in general. As a result, our civil society is quickly becoming authoritarian and uncivil.

 

Efforts at defending a terrorist organization on the part of yourself duly noted.

 

As was stated previously. Perhaps it is simply time for the united states to dispense with all notion of formality, and proceed straight into civil war ahead of schedule.

 

Of course it shouldn’t be a death penalty. Is that the answer you didn’t want to see?
Why do you believe saying all lives matter is an automatic death penalty? I know lots of people who’ve said it, including myself at times, and those people as well as myself have not been killed. You lose credibility when you resort to such hyperbole.

 

Now you’re resorting to being disingenuous? Duly noted

 

The uncivil war is being fought on an ideological and psychological basis, and likely started, or caught fire, when social media took off in the 90's and gave everyone a platform, whether rational or insane. There has been an assumption that rational argument would prevail.

Unfortunately, 30 years after the innocuous "political correctness" cancelled some speech, the asylees are about to take over operation of the asylum and squelch any dissent. Now "White Fragility" religious dogma is being taught to the employees of major corporations and being sold to school districts in bulk for our children's re- education. "All white people are racists and inherently bad people so we must destroy this entire racist system called America," is an anarchist takeover based on false propaganda.

Of course, this new dogma is turning the country into a tinder box, and a physically violent backlash and bloodshed would not be at all surprising, given the learning from historical revolutions. One would hope that this new religious dogma of "anti-racism" can be stopped at the psychological level because the rational people still outnumber the insane people, if rational people will speak up. Otherwise, he with the biggest army wins.

 

This is the kind of attitude right here that is the main problem. The "if you're not 100% on board with woke cancel culture you're a racist" I feel BLM is a racially motivated terrorist hate group and if a company I worked for supported them I would feel discriminated against.

 

But that's because you and I are racists. We just don't know it yet. All the white liberal apologetics and disciples will soon be upset when they get eaten alive by the new religion of "White = Bad". "Realizing and admitting" to being racists is not the safety shield they think it is. It does not absolve them from their sins.

 

Then perhaps the best way to win the war is to cease control and/or ownership of power plants and distribution centers responsible for supplying electricity to the united states. Identify the companies such as facebook, twitter, and any other social media engine, and terminate their accounts so their buildings no longer receive electricity. Cancel them as customers. Utilize programs such as operation choke point to identify these individuals and corporations as being a clear and present danger to law and order, and turn their own tables against them.

After that, move onto the individual level. Identify individual members of the so-called "cancel culture" and "woke movement" and terminate their electrical services in response to their position that everything they do not agree with must be eliminated. Let them prove the validity of their position by using it against them. Or simply reduce them to no more than twenty four hours of electricity per calendar week.

 

With all due respect for your opinion, I must disagree that the way to fight an authoritarian movement from the Far Left is to pose a bigger, badder, meaner authoritarian movement from the Far Right.

What the extreme left- and right- ends of current politics (on the citizen level) have in common is an almost palatable anger that what "We The People" thought was a "centrist" government did almost nothing for citizens over the last 30 years. Instead, they have robbed the middle-class of jobs and left the poor even worse off, while turning themselves into an untouchable elite. We obviously have very different "solutions" to the lousy self-serving government problem. The Far Left wants to replace an ineffective government with an all-powerful Marxist/Communist controlling government with that failed idealistic dream that such a government is going to provide the citizenry with a risk-free comfortable life. The Far Right's anarchic goal is to crush the size and power of government and let people control our own lives and destinies as individuals. That is a bit of a tangent, but the point is that there is a common ground idea that our current government system is broken.

So, we are back to a "battle of ideas" between the collectivists and the individualists. We need a solution where neither extreme side wins "swift and complete victory" because the result either way would surely lead to bloodshed and likely place us under more of a dictatorial rule.

I believe the solution is in a "new" middle, not with the Democrats and Republicans who we were fooled into thinking were working to benefit the people they represent. We need compromise and reason, and I think the majority of citizens who have been completely disgusted and disafffected from civics might join a new centrist movement. It is not realistic to get one's way in life 100% of the time. We should not expect politicians to "win" 100% for "us" if that win means that someone loses. The goal should be to build a colorblind and inclusive American culture which is finally true, in practice, to the Declaration of Independence's words of equality (of opportunity). Unfortunately, as divided as the country is right now in this moment, I do not see how that ideal in theory gets put into actual practice. It certainly won't happen in 2021-2024 regardless who wins the election. One half or the other half of the country will continue to be angry and frustrated.

 

BLM is another Fake Roots Marxist Movement orchestrated by privileged white left-wing racists. For all their talk about "liberation" it's all about the election in Nov.

#WALKAWAY: Georgia Democrat Stands With Trump, Condemns ‘Hypocritical’ BLM: ‘All Black Lives Should Matter.’

Drops a truth bomb.​

BLM murdered a black 8 year old girl

Violent Left-Wing rioters, looters, and vandals have lashed out acting on the false premise that all of America is racist, propagandized by the Fake News Lying Racist New York Times‘ “1619 Project.”

BLM creates a hostile work environment ruled by fear. Such violent seditious ideology has no place being enforced at the work place.

 

They create a deadly environment.

 

BLM? has nothing to do with addressing black on black crime. So in all honesty BLM? should be named Black Lives Matter Sometimes or BLMS.

 

When no rational or intelligent thought can be posted, cry racist.

 

BLM is destructive to everyone. If you march with them and actually agree with what’s on their website, you’re twisted or ignorant to what their leaders truly want. And If you question those desires, you’re a racist apparently. It’s a violent hate group based on lies.

And BLM has caused far more damage and deaths than anything they’re complaining about.

 

People who are hostile to BLM are verbally gagged at their places of employment.
People who are openly supportive of BLM can talk about it to their hearts content even if it interferes with their work functions.
In the common sense world, talking about politics of any sort has no place in the workplace.
Period!
