‘black lives matter’ mob shuts down democratic candidates’ speeches

[carpro]

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter who the people are that make up the "black lives matter" movement and what they stand for?

So you don't care about them at all. You've outed yourself as a phony once again.

It doesn't matter who people like YOU think they are because folks like you are always gonna try to portray those who challenge your authority as something threatening. And if that doesn't work, you'll try to divide them.

Again, they know your play book so give it a rest.

So you don't care about them at all. You've outed yourself as a phony once again.

Your attempt to manipulate what I say works on me about as well as your attempts to control what black people say.

You'll have to find someone who will fall for that.

I manipulated nothing. It's a direct quote, as was the quote from the "black lives matter" website.

Phonys always out themselves.

Oh stop. It's me. You should know better than to try that foolishness.

Phonys always out themselves.

And you always do a good job of doing so.

 

[righteousdude2]

Did you say something? I doubt it mattered.

You remind me of that thing in deep space called a"black hole!" It just turns and churns and swallows up everything in it's way! It is something everyone with good sense stays clear of! :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Alcott]

Yes or No: Do Black lives matter?

Yes.
Yes or No: Do all lives matter equally?

 

[Zaac]

Yes.
Yes or No: Do all lives matter equally?

Yes or No: Have you heard anyone say that ALL lives do not matter? There is a reason , particularly with the type of angry white people who find appeal in Donald Trump, that certain white people keep trying to push "All Lives Matter" when they hear someone say "Black Lives Matter".

I'm not one to recreate the wheel. So let me allow someone else to explain.

There’s this microaggression happening online, offline, and all around that has a nice sentiment, but really needs to stop. Can we call for a week-long moratorium on decrying “ALL LIVES MATTER?”

This is a request specifically for my white brothers and sisters, especially those in the church.

I, of course, as a white heterosexual married middle-class highly educated American male, believe that all lives matter. It’s something I’ve been fighting for my entire adult life. Whether it is the mother infected with HIV by her wayward husband in western Africa, whether it is the undocumented immigrant father who may be separated from his American-born children, whether it is the NRA card-carrying white uncle who does an honest job and is a good neighbor back in the midwest, whether it is the homeless thirty-something woman coming off a bad meth addiction but needing shelter during a difficult winter, of course, by all means, every life matters.

Your life matters. My life matters. All lives matter.

This is a non-negotiable. This is true. This is what it means to be made in the image of God, as we’re told in the Book of Genesis — everyone, whether you’re white, black, brown, male, female, straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, Republican, Democrat, rich, poor, nice, kind of a jerk, young, old, middle-aged, we all matter.

But these past couple weeks — these past four months, five months, 22 months? — it’s important that we stand with the ever-growing chorus and declare, yes, black lives matter. With the heartbreaking, soul-wrenching death of Michael Brown, the news just yesterday of another non-indictment in the death Eric Garner, or the dark night when Trayvon Martin was shot down in Florida, a chorus of voices has risen to declare with one voice and hashtag that #BLACKLIVESMATTER.

And yet, I’ve noticed on my social network feeds that many of my white sisters and brothers reply ALL LIVES MATTER. Yes, yes they do. But do my white sisters and brothers realize that in this very moment these microaggressions are like another death by a thousand Facebook posts?

Back in 1970, Harvard professor Chester Pierce coined the term “microaggression” to describe every small, daily insult and dismissal made by non-black folks toward African Americans. Others have expanded microaggression theory to include insults made toward women, other ethnicities, gays and lesbians, and anyone seen by the majority culture as “other.” It’s the ugly partner of systemic racism — a racism that is indirect, cruel, and dismissive toward the daily suffering of sisters and brothers, neighbors, co-workers, colleagues, and friends that are, for lack of a better word, minorities.

Last December, a photographer at Fordham University asked students to “write down an instance of racial microaggression they have faced.” The stories shared by those students on Buzzfeed, however hurtful and prejudiced, are, unfortunately all too common:

Toward a biracial student: No, really, “what are you?”

Toward a black male: “You don’t act like a normal black person, ya’ know.”

Toward another student: “Courtney I never see you as a black girl.”

Toward another: ”You’re really pretty … for a dark skinned girl.”

And another: “When people think it’s weird I listen to Carrie Underwood.”

Microaggressions happen every day all over the country for our black sisters and brothers, colleagues, friends, neighbors, and family when ignorant white people say stupid stuff (often times accidentally) rooted in stereotypes. It happens all the time. I’ve done it, you’ve done it — almost every white person I know has done it.

I was with an African-American female friend once on a mission trip. Two of the white missionaries asked if she was my wife or girlfriend, because “we seemed so close.” She was my boss, brothers. We were talking about the fundraising email we needed to send out once we got back. #microaggressions.

We’re crying out, we’re Tweeting, we’re posting on Facebook, we’re marching with the refrain #BLACKLIVESMATTER because that notion is precarious these days. Every time a white person says ALL LIVES MATTER they’re not only missing the point of these voices rising up together, they’re inflicting further pain and anguish. (I will stand corrected if you have examples of African Americans, Latinos, Asians, or anyone else.)

The apostle Paul teaches us in the New Testament that when any one member of the body of Christ suffers, we all suffer. Russell Moore, just yesterday, spoke out on behalf of Southern Baptists saying: “We may not agree in this country on every particular case and situation, but it’s high time we start listening to our African American brothers and sisters in this country when they tell us they are experiencing a problem.”

This is one of those instances where, yes, members of the body of Christ, citizens of this nation, neighbors, and friends are suffering. And we need to listen.

And we need to knock off the passive aggressive response ALL LIVES MATTER. We all agree with that. Right now we need to declare with one voice, until things really change, that yes, indeed, #BLACKLIVESMATTER.

Never trust anyone who won't answer a "yes" or "no" question. You cannot count on them when it comes right down to it.

 

[Zaac]

You can save it too. Y'all seem to be a little crazy in thinking you can call into question something no one has questioned because you know it marginalizes what they HAVE said.

What speaks volumes is the continuous propensity of angry white folks to try and deflect when it comes to issues of race in this country.

"All lives matter" frees white people from feeling accountable for solving a largely white problem: the suffering caused by police violence against black people.

Tssk tssk. Black people aren't helping to assuage that and they shouldn't.

 

[Revmitchell]

"All lives matter" frees white people from feeling accountable for solving a largely white problem: the suffering caused by police violence against black people.

Actually the phrase "Black live matters" does not accomplish what it is intended too. It holds no one accountable and it certainly does not make white people feel guilty. It never will. What it does do is make those who say it appear unstable if not at least unreasonable.

Of course when a political agenda conceived out of hate is created such as "Black lives Matter" campaign it only serves to further divide people. Supporting such a campaign is certainly against scripture. It stirs up hate and a mean spiritedness on both sides that we are seeing in these threads.

 

[Zaac]

Sure it does. If it didn't there wouldn't be a bunch of angry white people always retorting that ALL LIVES MATTER.

Of course when a political agenda conceived out of hate is created such as "Black lives Matter" campaign it only serves to further divide people.

And white people have traditionally been the ones around the world with political agendas conceived out of hate. Ain't much changed.

The division is arising from the angry white folks who keep trying to marginalize what the black folks are saying.


Supporting that type of wickedness is 100% UNSCRIPTURAL.

 

[777]

I don't think anybody minds at all. Now all they need to do is stop killing each other in such outrageous numbers.

But those that refuse to acknowledge that all lives matter put themselves back out on the lunatic fringe of society... begging not to matter.

Don't you think it's telling that only Hillary Clinton had enough sense to stay away from the nutroots convention, unlike O'Malley and Sanders? Also telling that there's a group out there that considers the likes of Martin O'Malley (his supporters used to throw Oreos at Mike Steele) "too conservative" because he "ruined" one of their inane catch-phrases.

 

[Lewis]

"All lives matter" frees white people from feeling accountable for solving a largely white problem: the suffering caused by police violence against black people.Tssk tssk. Black people aren't helping to assuage that and they shouldn't.

Ever notice that in many of these instances of police violence, Black police officers are involved? That should tell you something, because they know something that the Black Lives Matter crowd doesn't want to admit. Something that Black police officers are up against every day in inner city neighborhoods. That is a culture of violence among a small but destructive minority in those neighborhoods. Police officers black and white are in the middle of that war zone. Until the Black Lives Matter movement wants to talk about that as a large part of the problem, not much is going to improve.

It's a "movement" in name only. Thy have no plan and no real purpose.

Just a catchy name that is rapidly losing its luster.

All they have left is disruption. And it doesn't really matter to them who they disrupt. Their 15 minutes is about up.

Actually it is a fabricated movement established by community organizers who are on the constant lookout to stir up strife where ever the smallest of incidents occur. It certainly is not organic. It reminds me of the pharisees who used to stir up the crowds in order to demonize Jesus. These people are doing the exact same thing. If they did nothing people would go home and live peaceful lives.

Yes white people. Stick your heads back in the ground and pretend there would be peaceful lives while these folks are burying unarmed loved ones everyday.

Deflect and make every excuse in the world for why black folks shouldn't be talking about this and all it will do is highlight why they better keep talking about it.

 

[Rippon]

Zaac, you contend that the phrase "All lives matter." is a slap in the face to a movement which wants exclusive rights. Your contention is that only black lives matter and that the lives of all others must take either a backseat or that those non-black lives are of no consequence. That is sick.

I'll tell you what else is sick. The knockout Game. Only it isn't a game when certain blacks target old white people, pregnant white women and in general weak white folks. The goal is to knock them out with a single sucker punch. Injuries and deaths of these white folks should matter to all decent people of any race.

The same goes for flash mobs of 50 to a 100 or more black teens and 20's who attack customers and workers at stores. They rob and assult with reckless abandon.

The lives of the white victims do not matter to you --only the lives of the criminals.

You need to drop your campaign. It is abhorrent.

 

[Revmitchell]

You need to drop your campaign. It is abhorrent.

I am puzzled why it is allowed on this board.

THE PROFOUND RACISM OF 'BLACK LIVES MATTER'
The Black Panther movement reincarnated.

“Black Lives Matter.” At first blush, it seems difficult to imagine anyone taking issue with the obvious, self-evident truth articulated by those three simple words. But when we peel away the veneer of deception, we find that Black Lives Matter (BLM) is in fact one of the most destructive, hateful, racist movements in living memory. Founded by a core group of revolutionaries who detest the United States and revere the nation's most devoted radical enemies, BLM is, at its essence, an ideological reincarnation of the Black Panther movement that flourished in the Sixties

The lead founder of BLM is Alicia Garza, a young woman who candidly reveres Assata Shakur—the Marxist revolutionary, former Black Panther, and convicted cop-killer whose 1979 escape to Fidel Castro's Cuba was facilitated by the Weather Underground Organization and the Black Liberation Army. Others whom Garza praises for their “extraordinary” accomplishments include Angela Davis (a Marxist and former Black Panther); Ella Baker (an avowed socialist who had ties to the Communist Party USA and the Weather Underground); and Audre Lorde (a black Marxist lesbian feminist).
