Not sure how I feel abt BLM(still doing research on it) but I think it’s intellectually dishonest to argue that Black Lives Matters means Only Black Lives Matter. Like if you don’t support the organization just say that.

That's true. It's like they're willfully misrepresenting what BLM is to discredit it. But won't admit to themselves that THAT'S what they're doing.

One thing that pisses me off is people that will lie to keep a truth alive. Yes BLM has done shady stuff, you don’t have to fabricate anything to make it seem worst. If they’re a shady company, let BLM show that through their actions and words. I actually took the time to sit down and do research on them so I don’t assume or make shit up about them whether or not in defense or offense.

Fuck BLM, BET, colleges for blacks only, etc. If there was a WLM or White Ent.TV, it would be labeled racist!

Um black colleges were originally for black Americans after slavery because they weren’t allowed in colleges white people attended. Everyone is welcome to register to an HBCU and they have non black students. You’re exactly who I’m talking about in my post. And if white people wanted their own tv channel (even though they don’t really need one when they’re already all over all forms of media with the most influence) I really wouldn’t mind. It’s not for me so why be upset about it? And I’d hope the majority doesn’t care either. Most racial groups and cultures segregate like that and for different reasons that are historically valid.

Black lives absolutely do matter but I despise white guilt in white people and I divert most of my attention to anti-Islamic genocide and acts of war because I feel Americans are too self indulgent and self centered about people and issues that are at their doorstep, and I feel like actually being racist against black people is not remotely as accepted as the cavalier and dehumanizing way we treat arabs. I was having a cigarette with a black man outside of a store shooting the shit about politics during the Obama admin and he unironically and emphatically said we should just nuke the middle east, in its entirety. It's a little different when it comes to anti ICE activism because I do see that as encroaching fascism, but police brutality is absolutely not a black thing. Daniel Shaver was a white man and he was murdered in considerably more savage and obscenely a way than George Floyd was. His killer was not sent to prison and was able to move to some country like Thailand on a police p…

I agree. Personally I think BLM should focus mostly on progressing the black community. Sure there are racist cops that should be called out but the first step to change is within before any fight for change outside. Now I have looked up what community work BLM and I had to do a lot of digging on their website just to find it. Should be one of the first things advertised on their website. And I found one scholarship program they had that doesn’t seem currently active today.

If you're really interested in community oriented activism that's centered around black people you should check out the Uhuru movement, they engage in a lot of the same functions that the Black Panthers used to be known for and have set out to provide economic alternatives for black people.

They were in the news like a year or so ago because they were very critical of the Russia/Ukraine war and US foreign policy, and they were raided and arrested for speech violations that were ultimately ruled unconstitutional (I believe) because the government couldn't make an actual case that they were taking orders from the Kremlin as was alleged.

All you really need to know is that the founders all got rich and a couple of them ended up in congress. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know then you're part of the problem

You’d be surprised, people are still making this argument and wear it on their chest. Just something they heard off line instead of coming up with their own opinion. Or they’re just really ignorant
