Your arguement sounds like you are saying;why fundraise for only lung cancer,what about breast cancer,both still terrible issues but no mutually inclusive. You can fight for one while still aware of the other.

Lets not demean and dismiss their fight because they didnt set their motto to fix the whole mess society has become.

I get it. Believe me I understand what you guys are saying.

BLM was established to address police killing BLACKS. So if there is no police killing, say couple of months, but there are gang related killing, all involving BLACK LIVES, does that mean they (blm) shouldn't be concerned because police are not involved? Am not trying to undermine or diminish their cause. I just don't get how you can take to the street after a police killing that happened two months ago while you dismiss the death of a young girl who died from a stray bullet fired from a moving car the night before.

The emphasis is on BLACK LIVES. their movement is getting big now so why still keep silent about these other killings?

Go watch all the YouTube videos about AA who have an issue with this one sided cause. If as mother you lost a son to a drive by shooting and there is a deafening silence and you see this guys walking by your house screaming justice For the killing of a known gang banger, how would you feel? It's not that complicated walaal. No one is asking them to turn sugar into salt. Am just saying that sugar can be used for coffee as well as shaax

Organizations such as this are far from perfect.I cant stand how some of the members act in some place and how they convey their messages.But they are bringing a much need noise to nations used to silence in their systematic racism.There are many police agencies that are more open to a more racially diverse recruitment.Better representations and more voices.

Blm was never set up to fix every aspect of the black live problems.It is a start.It might inspire the next grass root movement that fights black on black crimes,the one that educates young black men,the one that teaches their women to have better standards and the the one that treats all these diseases that kill them immaturely.

Exploiting a dead Somali to further their agenda is pathetic. BLM receives nothing but negative coverage in the media and has bad reputation overall. The last thing Somalis need to do is latch onto that movement.

Ina Adeer, there is nothing to exploit about this tragedy and BLM has elevated this issue in the national social conscience about police aggression and brutality towards people of colour. Why will you refuse such solidarity in raising public awareness of institutional racism against young Somalis? Does anyone think a group like BLM will be popular among the elite? Off course, they will be painted as a bunch of lunatics and trouble makers. See Fox News.

Ina Adeer, runtii, we will bury our own and give them a decent and noble burial. But when it comes fighting for their Rights, it is marxuumka iyo qabiilkiisa. A Somali protest would only attract a dozen or two of the immediate family. A visiting minister from some Dawlad Goboleed xaflad will attract more attendees. As for BLM, we do vote and elect politicians and parties who promote some policies not conducive to our culture or religion. Involve with what you agree and leave to others to fight what they consider as their rights. These young activists might teach us to evolve from our clannish mentally of all things considered and stand side by side as one voice. The qabiil cracks reached even the mosques. Enough is enough.

BUT.

Would also love to see them highlight black on black crimes. When you compare police killing blacks to black on Black crimes, it's a drop in the ocean. And black music that demean black lives and especially women with their culture of glamorising gangster life and debauchery.

Hard to take a booty clapping, twerking activist....Serious. lol

This is a logical fallacy sxb. One has nothing to do with the other. Police brutality is a problem and so is high crime rate.

Ina Adeer I beg to differ BLM needs this tragedy to even be relevant in Canada. Canada and the States have different set of problems when it comes to minorities.So you shouldn't conflate the two. Police brutality is rare in Canada there isn't an epidemic of young Somali boys being killed by police. Also the Somali community didn't need BLM for this story to be elevated in the national social conscience. Since it was the leading story on the day it happened. There was video footage of the Somali mans death. The gaalo anchors and reporters of CTV and CBC did more for that family than BLM. So if you going to praise anyone you should praise the the WHITE MEDIA in Canada.

If young Somalis feel like they are the target of institutional racism. Well then it is for the Somali community to solve that issue. Why would ask or expect someone else to fight your battles?

Waa runtaa madawgu dhibtaada ay iyagu isu geystaan baa ka badan ta cadaanka ama askartu u geysato.
Ma xasuusataa 2011 London riots kii markii police ku dilay ninkii ay doonayeen inay xidhaan.
Waatii la ogaa waxay sameeyen dukaamadii xadeen, wax gubeen ee ay dhulkii waaleen.
Sanadkaa keliya waxa la dilay 15 teenage ah oo mindi lagu dilay u badan.
Bal maxaa looga mudaharaadi waayey kuwaas, ninka police ku dilay miyuu ka mihiimsan yahay caruurtas midiyaha lala dhacay.
Madawga mihiimadodu waxa weeyan anagaa is dilayna ee yaan cadaanku na dilin.
FG anigu ma lihi yaan la mudaharaadi lknse wax kasta halaga mudaharaado.

Ina Adeer, you are right Canada is different to the United States and the media there has been helpful, but what happens is, soon after the media blitz dies out, it will be forgotten. It requires others to maintain the vigil and hammer the message home, so the politicians and the Police leadership will be forced to do something about it. Institutional racism is a reality in the Anglo-Saxon world including Canada. I thought I covered the lack of and the unwillingness from our people to establish a Somali community. Our tribal differences have been deemed as un-reconcilable which doesn't warrant the establishment of such organisations. Even the mosques are divided along clan lines. Who will fill the void? Maybe, the BLM movement can teach our youngsters new skills such as community organisation and activism.
