    What I’m finding a little queer at the moment with the black lives matter movement is that it’s been triggered by one murderous ******* in a completely different country. Where are the protests for the hundred+ poor souls that get knifed to death on this country’s streets every single year. The priorities are a little misplaced for me and further evidence that for some bizarre reason, people are obsessed with that asylum over the pond.

    This was just a trigger point. Caught on camera. A person in power and responsibility.

    Just a case of after stretching the elastic band for years and years, it finally has snapped.

    Is that your answer a big sigh? 149 people knifed to death in London last year and you do a big sigh

    While we’re all having our two penn'orth this morning, a tell you what’s pissed me off this week, in the last 7 days I’ve read, watched and heard people being branded a racist for having the slightest different opinion to the BLM movement, if you say ‘all lives matter’ your met with opposition trying to shoot you down in flames!

    Yesterday on the radio, the lunch time bulletin gave mention to today’s protests and it said ‘they will be met by far right fascist groups’, does that mean then that a war veteran who served queen and country who turns up today to voice there opinions on current matters is a racist? No it dosent.....it’s absolute BOL.LOX

    Those antifa tossers are that left wing there all but right Wing themselves!! I’ll give it 2 weeks till this has died down from the media like things always do and they’ll be jumping on the next bandwagon!

    Good day to you all

    It’s like the Cummings fiasco all over again.

    People were angry and upset at people breaking lockdown, they wanted them to stop so some people took to reporting them, others to telling them off directly, others to ignoring them as they felt there was nothing they could do and the idiots would keep breaking lockdown anyway. Other idiots joined them and broke lockdown too.

    Then Cummings, the guy who made the rules broke lockdown. This was seen as different to ‘normal people’ breaking the rules as he helped devise them and as a Government advisor, should be setting an example. It got people to be even more angry at him than the others who had broken lockdown. I signed a petition for him to be sacked, I didn’t sign one for Joe Bloggs at the beach to be sacked.

    Similarly, everyone wants stabbings to stop. Some people report those carrying knives, some try and work with the people directly and do interventions, some ignore it as they feel powerless to do anything about it, some idiots join them and carry knives too.

    Then a police officer, someone who is supposed to serve and protect, who is supposed to be a shining example on how to behave, murdered someone. It got people more angry at the police than the others who have been doing the stabbing. People are joining protests for the police to be reformed, not joining protests for Joe Bloggs to go to jail (as he probably already has anyway).

    Ask the Tories why they cut police numbers? Ask why they've cut training to officers and why they've not employed more BAME officers?
    Ask the Tories why they've cut money to councils which have lead to youth and children's services being cut (including surestart)?

    excellent idea to have BLM on footballers' shirts and hopefully it will mean more people of BAME heritage will become football managers and/or reach senior positions in the Football hierarchy.

    Because if all this protesting/support re BLM movement doesn't lead to a betterment for those from the BAME community it will have been a waste of time.

    Hats off to the uneducated who’ve somehow made Anti-Fascists the villains. A bit like when the same folk, despite all available evidence, suggested Brexit was a good thing, or, more recently, that Cummings did nothing wrong. Genuinely like living in an alternate reality. A black fella has a white cop knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, he dies despite pleading for help and yet all I see online are white people sharing his criminal record. There are more people offended by the removal of statues of racists, than the lives and freedoms of actual fellow humans. Idiots sharing the views of such as Tommy Robinson who all of a sudden now hates protests and any kind of organised movement of aggression. The football hooligans and far right gammon mob who are wanting to “defend are monuments and are cüntry” by no doubt waving their arms about and walking towards people and then running away; same morons who will be smashing up the cities of the next country to host a football tournament.

    Fück them all.

    I got bored...

    Perhaps someone on here can assist me:-



    Apart from motivation they give the Black American population to protest the death of criminals by the police (which to paraphrase Shelby Steele is something unique to Black America, the black community always seem to protest in defence of the lowest possible denominator in society) what exactly have Black Lives Matter Global Foundation Inc (BLM) actually done to enhance the lives of Black Americans.



    What are aims of BLM and their actual successes given their website is very vague and ambiguous.



    BLM has from what I can gather had in excess of $200m in funding since the movement started, can someone show me where BLM have reinvested this into the Black community be it in the Education sector, family planning or getting kids out of gangs.



    Can someone confirm the BLM have a 501/503 set up to act as a charity and accept donations?



    BLM claim all Black Lives Matter. If this is the case how come their entire movement seems to be based around issues between the Black community and law enforcement. It ignores that abortion is the biggest killer of blacks and black on black crime. Nor does it offer anything toward health issues within the same community eg obesity,diabetes.



    BLM have not been a major movement since 2016. very localised, very little in terms of press In this time around 10m black Americans of all ages and genders have been arrested and processed by the various police forces. Around a 1000 have been killed by law enforcement in the same period. Depending on the stats around a third were classed as unarmed. Where was the protests for these people? Why wait until 2020 to reactivate their cause to the extremes



    Since the protests started in the states there has been over 100 black people murdered including 18 inside 24 hours in Chicago. How come this movement has not condemned this or any other killings? Do they only condemn white police on black violence? Isnt this its self.. racist?



    One of the crux matters for these recent protests is police brutality against the black community. Since 2014 the police have worn body cameras. Given that there was a statement on this forum that 1 in 10 blacks die from police brutality at face value its c 5m deaths a year can some actual figures be provided to how many claims of police brutality there are a year, how many complaints are upheld and how many deaths are actually caused in relation to police brutality. The figures I've seen have suggested c25K complaints made, c250 upheld. Does any one have access to more recent detailed statistics?



    Although it is accepted that the police in the states can have and will use excessive force – regardless of race, has the issue of police brutality been over egged to make a political point?



    When you break the crime statistics broken down apart from the black community the stats are representative of the population breakdown, however black stats are over representative. The usual socio demographic reasoning's of poverty etc dont make sense when you compare black to Latino areas.



    Can someone provide any condemnation for the riots over the last weekend by BLM or any of its affiliates through mainstream media



    Minneapolis is a long term democratic city, the powers that be are all democrats. Over the last week the riots have destroyed large parts of the black community with a motion being passed to defund the police. This is going to cause property prices to crash. Who will profit from this?



    Why would you defund the police over the actions of a tiny minority. Officers over the years of all ethnicity have been prosecuted and sacked for misconduct. Why would you no increase police funding and ensure that training is up to scratch?



    There is this argument over institutionalised racism and the black community gets treated differently to white communities. I cannot find any examples of a law that benefits a white person above that of a black person. The only discrepancies I can see relate to things like college applications. Which depending on the college/location ***** over all communities, some are white weighted, some are Asian, some are black.



    Additionally, through out the states, Black people are represented through out society be it Mayors, police chiefs, the military etc. Even had a black president. A fifth of law enforcement are black which is over representative of the black population percentage...



    Although, historically it could be argued that the system was against minorities, its very different in todays society. Rather than blaming whitey for everything and have this never ending perpetual cycle of victimhood why are BLM not using their resources to push develop and further black ability?



    Given BLM isnt a charity, any donations go through ActBlue which in layman's terms is payment terminal solely for left wing/democratic causes. Although Factcheck confirm that no payments go directly to the Democratic party, Actblue on first glance would appear to reserve the right to spend the donations as they see fit. So on paper a donation to BLM could be going straight into Bidens campaign funding.



    Given the huge volumes of money hitting BLM and it not appearing on the top ten donations it would be prudent to suggest this might well be the case. Theres not enough filtering through to local BLM chapters, none have a turnover that exceeds $1m.... wheres the money going....



    While on the subject of finances, Kailee Scales is the head bean counter. She did a reddit Q&A.


    There were multiple questions over finances that she refused to answer with more than a cursory generic comment and got her arse handed to her. Why is this. What do they have to hide?


    One of BLM's chief allies around protesting are “Antifa” Groups this being the left wing direct action groups as opposed to your run of the mill anti facist protestors.


    Why would BLM be using well known violent political agitators to further their cause?





    I'll do funding later.


    Bear in mind when some of your heads stop spinning i havent said Black Lives dont matter or anything along those lines. I am questioning the motives of the organisation behind the movement.
