more whites and hispanic people are killed by cops than blacks yet you dont see them bitching. you dont see these sorry blacklivesmatter movement talking about black on black violence, crips vs bloods alone had 15k death tolls since they were initiated let alone deaths in Chicago, new orleans and other cities. its really sad to see our uncultured youths buying into this crap and nonsense
MLK is turning over his grave right now

Systemic racism is a real issue. Black Americans are not just making shit up sxb, stop pushing BS cadaan propaganda. It's one thing to dislike the movement and criticise it, but nobody in their right mind can deny that blacks get disproportionally targeted by police.

Some of you guys are too extreme. Why can't you ever be balanced? It's either you're a AA bootyclapper or you're downright racist.

Black Lives Matter are actually transforming to a real movement. I was watching this evening a discussion in NPR between host Judy Woodruff, Jesse Jackson, Mayor of Atlanta Kasim Reed, and one of the founders of BLM who is based in Louisiana. From that discussion, it was clear that BLM has been transformed from some kids who make noises to people who pursue real solutions.

It seems all of the police associations across the country are reviewing police protocols, their quick to shoot when it comes to minorities - particularly African Americans - and a broken criminal justice system where the police associations and judges are all there to protect rotten apples in the police force.

There are also cracks opening up where some of the police associations are speaking out against the expectations placed on them that they have to support the police officers no matter how heinous the crimes they commit are when they abuse the public.

The shooting in Dallas against police has been condemned in many circles and rightfully so; however, it seems it brought the anger to the forefront. For 22 months nobody listened to BLM, but events last week are waking everyone up. I think something will come out.

no sxb I dont buy this Institutional racism shit either, show me a racist law and I will agree with you. tell why a 13% of US population is responsible for 50% of the murder in the country? does black lives matter only when a white cop shoots? there are killings almost at daily bases at Chicago yet no body of them protest about it.

there problem is a culture not the system. when you have a culture that glorifies ganglife and tuugonimo and drinkin lean, dont snitch and corporate with the cops. degrading women calling them name like hoes bitches and stuff. then believe there this white man out there trying hard to put blacks down therefore remain in the ghetto and playing ball or sellin mixtabes are the only way out of there, thats the problem with blacks
(not all blacks tho)

the highest dropouts are black kids and the highest single motherhood are blacks. how do expect to have a productive community while suffering from all these issues. hard work pays off, thats what they should do instead of bitching about the system. im not denying police brutality, it exist and all races suffer from it

lastly, Jamyla Bolden was a 9 years old girl that was shot and killed while doing her homework, where were BLM protest at? there wasnt cus the killer was BLACK!
BLM=hypocrisy

PBS NEWSHOUR

Is Dallas a turning point in the race and policing debate?

11:05Video duration: 11:05 Aired: 07/11/16 Rating: NR
If any good is to come out of the tragedy in Dallas, it is the expanded national conversation on the need for police reforms. There signs of some progress, but all sides agree much more must be done. Judy Woodruff talks with Rev. Jesse Jackson of Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Julian Zelizer of Princeton University and Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson.

the only reason why Hillary is now supporting BLM now is because of the votes. she knows damn well no AA would vote for Trump so she tries to win some of them by supporting it.

As a percentage of the total population , black people are over represented against the Law and that is not because they were born to disrespect the Law , one would have to be a total idiot to make a statement like that . There is a real problem that America is now waking up to. You've just missed the opportunity to show us how smart you are OP , maybe because you just react without thinking what you're saying through , a common somali characteristic

I understand if duds born in the USA who were perhaps browbeaten in ghettos express hatred towards civil rights movements like BLM (because they see the stereotypical African American in their neighbourhood who does dope) , but I have always wondered why relatively intellectually gifted s/net users do not understand the historical context.

:mindblown:

Whatever its origin is, BLM is a civil rights movement that has put the heinous atrocities towards blacks on the map of the massmedia/political discourse. A black man, well for the dimwits to grasp, a somali man in the USA is 27 times more likely to be shoot by police than a white man. To the police, a Somali man is a black man; to the world too. The rights somalis enjoy today in the USA - and many other countries for that matter came a consequence of movements like BLM.

From a historical context, the same arguments today to diminish /mock BLM were used in the 1960s against the civil rights; Dr. King, Malcolm X were called agitators; their rallies were said to include radicals and there were people who advocated the judicial system as a means to air their grievances. Of course we know that this was the system that lynched blacks.

Just like today, there were blacks who felt that the status quo should be maintained. The Uncle Toms of today ridicule BLM just as they did against the civil rights leaders in Salem, Montgomery and Raleigh.

What blacks are facing today is underwritten by a cumulative causation to quote Gunnar Myrdal – a kind of vicious circle which there is no end, a negative persistent loop.


P.s. This book is worth reading if you want to dive into the intellectual waters of racism, discrimination and apartheid which black have faced and continue to face.

no man im addressing about this aimless BLM movement, no one can deny police brutality and their excessive use of force but this movement failed to address the problems black community faces and focused solely on police brutality while there are way more deaths from gang violence and drugs in their area. why havent NO one spoken on Jamyla who was murdered in her house while doing her homework and the AA killer is walking free as we speak. DOES BLACK LIVES ONLY MATTER WHEN THE KILLER IS WHITE COP?????
