Black Lives Matter Protest

[SkyRider]

BLM holding a protest outside police headquarters. They also held a press conference where one of the speakers asked for race based statistics on police shootings. I can't believe my ears --- a black man asking for race based stats. In that case let's have race based stats on crime as well.

bTW: Where was BLM when the shootings at Muzik happened?

BLM was also silent when 3 black men and 1 black boy who immigrated from St Lucia where murdered by black men criminals March of last year

"He laid some of the blame for the lawlessness on absentee fathers.
“A true father supports his children emotionally and physically, not just with a cheque. Fathers have to be there to keep children on the right path,” he said."

The liberal leftie policy of "no man in the house" is partially or wholly to blame for absentee fathers.

In the melting pot we have here in toronto I shake my head when see shit like this. This city was build on the backs on imagrants that went through the same racial profiling that the think is just focused on them. These people suffered with nothing working in Shitty condition keeping there mouthshut just trying to provide for
For there families no handouts were given.

Italians were treated like shit when we got here but we worked our asses of to change this now we're know ass hard working people instead of the greasers and wops of the 60's. We changed people's view on our community.

BLM should take their protest to Danzig and/or Muzik.

"The whole world is watching."

Except for a few liberal lefties in Europe and North America, I doubt the rest of the world gives a shit. 1.5 billion Muslims, 1.7 billion Chinese, 1,3 billion E.I.'s, etc. have their own problems.

If BLM really care, take the protest to Danzig and/or drag the black fathers back to their kids.

You hear about all those Chinese people boated over a century ago to build the railroad. Travelling across the ocean to work at sweaty laborious jobs. Crappy wages, getting paid less than the white labourers. They weren't educated and didn't even know English. Bossed around by European guys (probably British or French descent).

Yet over time, Asian people generally do pretty well and don't cause trouble. I'm not saying Asian culture is perfect, but I'm pretty sure the perception of Asian people now vs. 100 years is big time different.

It takes time, but things change and perception changes. But if someone (or some group) wants to keep screwing around causing trouble and complaining, then you'll be perceived as troublemakers and crybabies.

Actually, whining and bitching and protesting works in Western society. Sad but true. The more it works the more people and groups will whine, bitch and protest because it works. These folks also know how to manipulate the media and social media.

I hear what you're saying.

But I'd say that any type of milking of the social or political system is small, compared to the overarching perception of society. When you're talking millions (more like billions?) of people getting inundated with some groups of people acting foolish, but most other peoples act chill, no social media will overcome that. People in general are smarter than that.

I've always been a firm believer that things and perception change over time. It might take a while, but it works. Just like in the link above where I posted about Asian people.... from the 1800s as poor, uneducated and foreign speaking labourers doing shitty jobs to now...... a big change. I'm sure when Asians came to Canada/USA in the 1800s they were perceived as idiots willing to work for a fraction of money. I highly doubt people see that like that now. Reading some stuff on Asian immigrants, it's the same hard working ethic 150 years ago and continues to this day! And how many labourer jobs are done by Asians now? Hardly any.

However, I don't think people are trying to do their best for sake of "hmmmm..... I'm thinking long term. And hopefully, what I do makes my people look better". I think people are trying to do their best simply to help themselves. And if the end result is making the entire ethnicity perceive better, than so be it.

Let's say I'm an Austrian guy. If I try to do well, it's not because I'm trying to make Austrians look better. I'm just trying to do well and not act like a lazy ass.

BLM is only against cops and politicians. If they actually cared about black ppl they would find ways to help kids get out,of gangs esp in chi town and NYC. BLM doesn't care abt ppl ... Its all political. They will keep bugging until one of their "leaders" gets to a cushy elected office job

Well said Avonfromthewire!

If they really gave a shit, then they would help the people that they say they represent in those communities.

Black lives matter --- 2 more young black males killed right here in Dodge City in the past few days.

Why aren't the police doing more to protect young black males?

 

[Celticman]

It seems like there are two possible explanations for the death that BLM is protesting.

1. The BLM view that the police shot (murdered?) the individual by capriciously opening fire.

2. The findings of the SIU that the deceased was the subject of a 911 call because he was menacing people with a hammer. When the police arrived, despite warnings to retreat and drop the hammer, he charged them with intent to assault them with the hammer. The police shot him in fear of their lives.

Has BLM considered both options in a reasonable manner?

If black lives matter WHY THE HELL are they shooting killing each other almost every weekend!

You beat me to it, watched the news last night, 1st up, the protest, next, the black guy shooting a black guy.

FAST

BLM us a political movement man. They are only against cops politicians etc.

Gang on gang violence is not in their agenda really. That's a dangerous situation that will not give them tv time

It also makes a good deflection from the multiple black deaths at the hands of, generally, other black men with guns. I suspect that within the BLM movement there are one or two people that aspire to be the new Dudley Laws, a man more self serving than the venerated Saint Suzuki.

What do you mean by "they"? Please explain.

What he means is black on black crime. The vast majority involving gangs in the drug trade. With the perpetrators willing to kill in crowds of innocents.

Is that clear enough?

As for these protesters I have no doubt they would all happily go away once the gov't offers them some well paying position on some panel where they can meet, talk, shuffle paper and occasionally put out a report(better termed a rehash) that will be filed with the rest.

Or that they will never be satisfied because they are constantly seeking easy answers to the complex problems in their own communities they claim to represent but really are just as racist as they claim the world is.

Because they can't think the world is any other way.

How's that for clarification.

Butler provided you with a good answer, but you already knew the answer to your own question
