The Black Lives Matter movement will receive the Sydney Peace Prize, an award given by the Sydney Peace Foundation — part of the University of Sydney — and be honored at an event in the city in November, the foundation announced this week.

Black Lives Matter was chosen for allegedly “building a powerful movement for racial equality, courageously reigniting a global conversation around state violence and racism. And for harnessing the potential of new platforms and power of people to inspire a bold movement for change at a time when peace is threatened by growing inequality and injustice,” the foundation’s website states.

Western Australian Labor senator Pat Dodson and former winner of the Sydney peace prize told the Guardian newspaper that Black Lives Matter as a movement stands against “ignorance, hostility, discrimination, or racism.”

Defenders of law enforcement against the often-violent, racially charged and hateful rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter movement, which often openly advocates for violence against police, expressed disapproval.

“Giving a peace prize to a group that foments violent demonstrations would be enough to give irony a bad name,” said William Otis, a professor of law at Georgetown and a former federal prosecutor.

"Still, I could see it if black lives actually mattered to Black Lives Matter," Otis told LifeZette. "But if that were so, BLM presumably would want to suppress the thing that poses the most danger to young black lives murder."

"We know how to suppress murder, because we did it for an entire generation, from 1991 to 2014," Otis continued. "And we know how we did it: more police, more aggressive and proactive policing, more restraint on naïve sentencing, and more use of incarceration to keep criminals away from law-abiding people," said Otis.

"Tragically, these crime-suppression measures are precisely the things BLM has made a point of opposing," said Otis

Are the BLM groups in Australia like the ones here? If they are actually peaceful and more like what BLM in America was at its inception then I don't see the problem.

It's run by black feminists and LGBTQ and funded by white liberals. It's reactionary, idiotic, and only seems to care about black lives extinguished by cops.

Well yea that's why it was started and was it's main focus. Early on many members and supporters also used it to help show police violence involving other races as well. Unfortunately racist idiots took it over.

Unfortunatly BLM is a loose organization. Free to join and assosiate with no head to tell idiots to knock that shit off when they do stupid stuff.

Except BLM was doomed from the very start due to its race-first ideology. BLM was protesting the victim's blackness above all else, instead of protesting something more sensible like the police's inability to perceive threats, eagerness to use lethal force, or police brutality in general. So how did it start with protests and riots about an unarmed black person being shot by a white cop to protests and riots about an armed black person being shot by ANY cop? What's the difference? Well there is no difference, because they're both black, and that's all that matters. You can argue all you like about what the original message was, or about their good intentions, but racists and supremacists taking over was an inevitability. If you really want to solve a problem for a racial group and still live in a post racial society, you have to be race agnostic all the time. There is just no other way.

If you mean that I think it's okay to punch Nazis, then yeah. Much better than conservatives who laud republican candidates for body slamming reporters.

BLM would hold a little more credence to me if it wasn't founded on the basis of some of the most justifiable (yet unfortunate) circumstances which lead to a black person's death.
