Current Events > Are you a supporter of Black Lives Matter?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Vote and discuss.

I support black people, but not the BLM movement due to the violence policies it embraces and the Marxist views of the founders.

---

I believe that my life matters, yes.

---

You shouldnt have killed George Floyd =\= George Floyd did everything he was supposed to

#nolivesmatter

---

There is no such thing as "supporting black people" without supporting the BLM movement.

---

Police accountability and a shift towards hiring social workers for social issues, yes

The baggage that comes with the actual BLM organizations/chapters? Ehhh

So i support lower case blm
Upper case i just avoid
---

The acutal people itself? Sure. The organization? Fuck no.

---

in the topic title, does "supporter" mean "i like what they like but do nothing whatsoever to actually offer support"?

So you support burning down buildings, groups barging into restaurants and getting into peoples faces, intimidating them into raising their fists in black power fashion, and you support the Marxist views of the movements co-founder?

---

Of the movement, yes. Of the organization, not really.

no since all lives matter

---

I support the idea that black lives matter should stand for, but the banner the idea rides under? Fuck no.

Asian Lives Matter

Yes because their lives matter imho

Good movement, good ideology, but don't trust organizations like this. The leader already used the money to buy a $2 million dollar house.

Who is the movements co-founder?

Pretty sure the actual org is controlled by cia/fbi

---

The title, their message, and their end goals? Yes.

Their tactics? Eh....

---

people who are against it inherently do not understand what it is; they think it's some terrorist group much alike to their perception of "antifa".

And then they turn around say say "Well the capital riot people don't represent the common conservative!".

its like their IQ is at that sweet spot of 95-103 where dunning kruger is at peak effect.

Thanks for posting a legit source like the NY Post. I thought it might have been some sensational source but now I feel better knowing the hard truths.

I support them for the policies it embraces and their Marxist views

I support the movement but not necessarily the corporation/LLC/whatever you want to call it as from what Ive read theyve collected millions in donations that have basically gone into a few peoples pockets rather than being spent on things important to the movement.

---

I think black lives matter, so yes

yep, Cullors took a bit and used on two or three multi-million dollar house(s) for herself.

I hate everyone equally.

And things like (whatever) Lives Matter just sounds biased too me.

Wasn't their some lady who bought a bunch of nonsense for herself using BLM donations and shit?

---

What is this black lives matter organization people keep saying they dont support?

Yes and anyone who doesn't is a little suspect imo

Why do people act as if this somehow dismantles the entire movement lmao

I'm just saying she's a Marxist, and don't most Americans claim to hate Marxism and socialism? So why support a movement that was founded by a Marxist?

---

I do believe that black lives matter, so yes

Yes, homes for herself and such in private communities that normal black people would never be allowed in.

---

No

---

Black people? Yes. The marxist supporting organization? Absolutely the **** not.

Most Americans can't even tell you what the tenets of Marxism are.

Na it's a movement that defends too many criminals and bad people

Because we think Brennan Walker shouldn't have been shot at when he just wanted to make sure he was going the right way to school after missing the bus?

Because we think Charles Kinsey shouldn't have been shot when he was lying on the ground with his hands in the air and trying to explain to police that an autistic man was playing with a toy truck and not a gun?

Because we think John Crawford III shouldn't have had the police called on him when he was just shopping for a BB gun at walmart? And furthermore, we think he shouldn't have been shot in the back with no questions asked?

Because we think Eric Garner shouldn't have been choked to death by police for selling loose cigarettes?

Because we think George Floyd shouldn't have been suffocated to death by police for using a counterfeit $20 bill?

Because we think Ronald Greene shouldn't have been beaten to death by police? And furthermore we think the police shouldn't have spent years trying to cover it up?

Because we think Walter Scott shouldn't have been shot in the back multiple times while he was running away and had a taser planted on him in attempt to cover it up?

If only there was some clue...

I feel like that's more than likely a bad faith argument since most people can't even tell you what Marxism is, especially the sorts who typically sprout anti-communist and anti-socialist spiel. In any case, Patriss is but one founder of BLM and I don't have to support Marxism to support the other stuff BLM campaigns for.

Also funny as hell that this is an account that never posts on CE until topics like this are made.

Okay, so ask her if its okay for low-income or middle-income blacks to go into the neighborhoods of the houses she owns, then.

and my posting habits arent the topic here.

---

No, not since the begining and especially not after after 2020.
