Black Lives Matter - Who are they?

I would be curious if anyone could explain why BLM only appear (to me at least) to focus only on a black death where a white caused it? As others have said it does suggest that in fact their objective is nothing to do with black lives and more anti police / anti establishment.

Because a black unarmed man was killed by a government representitive, and was likely to get off for it if history is anything to go by.

It’s not that hard.

I'm curious too about whether BLM actually careless about black lives. The majority of knifing victims in London are blacks, the majority of perpetrators black (in fact blacks carry out 8 times the rate of murders than the general population according to .gov.uk figures) yet never hear a thing about that. But some career criminal resisting arrest incites BLM to protests and criminal damage the world over. Surely if they actually cared about black lives the starting point would be the high rate of black murder perpetrators and black murder victims in London. They only seem to get animated when a white person is involved in the death of a black person. Isn't that racist in itself?

BLM have never been about saving black lives. Never have been and probably never will be.

It's all about radical political ideals, money and power.

They manipulate gullible, closed-minded, idealistic people to achieve their goals and ride the fervour created by the regressive left to drag otherwise reasonable towards their cause.

It's just a horrible, insidious organisation that uses bogus claims of racism in an attempt to destroy western society.

To repeat. They are nothing to do to with saving black lives....that is abundantly clear.

If a black guy got shot by a black cop I wonder what they'd do?

Spot on, and the sooner people realise this, the better.

They are much like any other political activist group. On the hard/far-left there are many different banners flying around that try to give an impression that there are many left wing causes for people to rally around. In fact its just the same bunch of people wishing to create activist issues to shout about under as many different banner headings as possible.
Which is why the likes of antifa, XR, BLM, occupy movement etc. all come out rioting under one banner's rallying cries.

Fundamentally they are all an anti-capitalist movement aiming to disrupt and break down traditional western values and society so that an excuse for socialism can be brought in to save the day.
You will hear the fundamental cry of "inequality" all the time as it is their 'base' issue, which comes from the marxist root of "oppression" (ie. oppressors versus the oppressed). Everything seems to be based up on this base and it is their main call against capitalism.
(They do all this whilst branding the latest iPhones and video recording equipment, whilst also using social media to organise and broadcast their riots etc. - the irony and hypocrisy levels are beyond belief).

You mean a WHITE government representative surely? Had the copper been black I doubt they'd care at all.

100% correct and now they are going to try and use the election as another excuse to riot and steal. Basically domestic terrorists.

...They are.

...No, it's about fundamental human rights.

...No, it's just that a lot of people think fundamental human rights are a cause worth fighting for.

It's just a horrible, insidious organisation that uses bogus claims of racism in an attempt to destroy western society.

...That's the dictionary definition of a bigoted opinion.

To repeat. They are nothing to do to with saving black lives....that is abundantly clear.

...That's precisely what they are about.

So "Black lives don'tmatter when blacks are killing blacks, is what you/they are saying.

Ha ha you think so? Have you read their agenda? Spoken to any of the minority businesses they have destroyed? In my city a white BLM activist burnt down a black owned business. In Portland they attacked minority businesses that are Republican. BLM is a rehash of occupy wall street and just want to create mayhem, undermine law and order, destroy and steal to push their marxist ideologies.

This sounds like the perfect issue for BLM to campaign on, it will actually save black lives.

So will they?

Thought it was interesting to see them described as "vaccine-hesitant" in parliament today rather than anti-vaxxer as seems to have become the usual term nowadays.

[dudleybloke]

So have they stopped moaning about the virus allegedly hitting their communities hardest now then?

[Jezza30]

So we've been told COVID is racist, and now the vaccine is racist... Is everything racist?
