RE: Black Lives Matter Shine at Pro-Trump Free Speech Rally

in #steemit7 years ago

This guy Newsome has been denounced by some groups. If this causes fracturing in the group and you see a more moderate side that wants reform of the criminal justice system and asks black communities to step up as well in not committing crime, wouldn't that be a positive that comes from this? Doesn't most of the problems between blacks and cops stem from blacks feeling as though they are constantly suspected no matter what and cops feeling more on edge with black suspects because of the hostility? It is a self-fulfilling prophesy and both sides have to start making changes.

Sort:  

Yeah but the whole premise of blm is incorrect to begin with. There is no 'systemic' problem with 'race'! They have to give that entire premise up but that premise is precisely why they exist. It's even their freegin name!...lol Sure there's problems with police brutality but it has nothing to do with the suspect/victim's skin color. The facts bear that out.

But since blacks 'percieve' it, and 'believe' it, it would require them to contend with their cognitive dissonance in a different way. For example, there's a brutality issue going on right now in my city of Pittsburgh. My understanding so far with the limited info that's known is that a white guy tried to rush in and help the cops who were dealing with a suspect of some sort. This guy then gets pummeled by those same cops he was trying to help! Video all over the news shows one of the cops bashing the guy's head into the ground ..with massive force..multiple times..then more cops joining in punching the shit out of the guy! It had nothing to do with race yet if this guy had been black there'd be blm riots in Pittsburgh as we speak.

Those cops were obviously so pumped with adrenalin that they went animal. I guess we'll see as we find out more but the black racism crap is bullshit! Blm holds zero protests regarding black on black crime which is way higher than any cop on black crime. Why is that? If the premise really was that black lives really matter? Then their focus would not be on only specific black lives that happen to coincide with white police incidents. They'd be also dealing with 'fixing' the reasons why the bigger violence against blacks..is blacks!!
