But has it failed, or is it gaining steam?  :shrug:

Hence my OP.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I shudder at the future if this is allowed to continue.




But should monetary compensation be used as an incentive for those protests?  It seems to destroy the credibility and integrity of the movement.




Why not?

The free market suddenly is unethical?




The day someone has to hire political activists to participate in their movement is the day the movement has failed. If you can't understand that reality, you're in denial.




So every political movement ever to exist has failed, by that metric.

You realize both major parties are corporations, right? The Kochs funded the tea party. The NRA funds pro 2nd marches. Etc etc etc.

Yes, but you can't fund real passionate activists, it doesn't work that way.

Bernie and Trump supporters were truly willing to go the extra mile to make their goal happen, money can't accomplish that mission.

Even the retards in BLM's are passionate about their movement, they're misguided but committed.

That Michael Brown was killed by a cop for no reason other than him being a black man.

Falcon, you can't assume intended that, thats being tricky. But I would also be curious how qman would direct the BLM movement differently?

Actually, the BLM movement started after the Trayvon Martin shooting, but gained steam after Michael Brown and other unarmed black men were shot.

If an organization has issue with specific cases of police abuse of power, they need to make sure it actually took place and not prejudge before the facts come out (like Zimmerman and Brown).

The organization should also not make it about race, it only lowers the credibility of the movement. All sorts of demographics are affected by police abuse, there no point in suggesting otherwise.

The organization should also avoid creating a false narrative, unjustifiable killings of civilians is a very rare event, it's not a epidemic.

Thats your opinion. When white people endure centuries of oppression, you can be sure to start your awareness movement on those guidelines.

Its easy for a suburban white American male to say "dont make it about race" when race has never been an obstruction for you or any one of your peers.

What would you tell black people who disagree with that statement? Plenty of black people have made great lives for themselves despite all the "oppression."

"Thats your opinion"

No, the statistics clearly back up what I'm stating, BLM created a false narrative and unjustifiable police killing are NOT an epidemic.

All demographics are affected by police abuse, suggesting that only black lives matter is offensive and clearly ineffective in trying to address the underlying issue.

Should we also say males lives matter?  Because they are massively disproportional victims of police abuse relative to females, what about younger lives matter?

Have you noticed that intelligent black people are way less likely to support BLM than dumb black people are? I sure have.
