Not saying the whole group is trouble however there are more than a few bad seeds in the group and BLM refuses to accept the fact as anymore than a smear campaign.

And it's more than one person.. Plus the movement is a fucking joke. They claim black lives matter but when black on black violence was brought up to a spokesperson he got butthurt and admitted the movement was about the white devil his evil doings towards thugs.

If a racist white police officer has the power to murder and get away free how is that not an issue?

Why can't people see that's the reason for saying black lives matter?

In black on black crimes, in white on white crimes...There is an innocent person and a person found guilty and sentenced.

Black lives matter is about murders from those who abuse power with no guilty charges. It's not right and never will be, it has nothing to do with what they black community does.

You'll find in the vast majority of shootings the victim did or said something that gave the person with a gun a damn good reason to fear for their lives.


There's a few cases in which they were outright murdered and in those cases you do see charges being filed and the person found guilty.

P.S. Black on black crime is muuuch higher than any race vs race crime.

But since spmeone grew up in poverty they don't know any better, right?

So basically if black, even words can get you killed.
Funny how you say the "victims" said or did something to get them murdered.

Found guilty and....sentenced to what?

btw, Nobody cares about the P.S. It's irrelevant in this conversation. Someone will always be at the top of a list, but what's the point if it's a list where NOBODY is excluded? That's like mentioning that more mass murderers are white. It's irrelevant, and the excuses there is that they were on medication. They didn't know better either right?

BTW, my fathers family is black and lives in poverty in the Appalachian mountains. They're all lovely law abiding people. Except for the younger generation. I removed a few off my facebook page due to a stupid argument over how wrong it was that some dude got locked up for selling crack and pills to youths in the community. "He was jus tryin to pay his bills yo!

As for mentally ill being an excuse. Not it isn't. My father is locked up indefinitely in the states largest mental institution for rape and murder. He knew he was mentally ill but decided to smoke weed laced with pcp instead of taking his meds and seeking help.

With my night job being located in one of the poorest areas of town I see plenty of people who complain about living paycheck to paycheck but don't see anything wrong with spending what they have left over on Beer, smokes and lottery. We all make choices, but blaming others for those poor choices doesn't change the truth of the matter.

When it comes to growing up impoverished the ones who genuinely don't like the lifestyle get away from it, the rest embrace it whilst complaning about it.

Cool story bro, but it has nothing to do with the black lives matter thing.

There are extremes that exist. The poor will have their mentality...one of complaints and spend their money in ways that will keep them poor, and the rich will have their mentality....issues with nothing ever being enough and greed...exploiting and taking advantage of the those that are not as fortunate all while getting more money.

I mean, it seems you are a bit judgy of the actions of those that live near where you work, but the reality is that you are MUCH closer to them and their lifestyle/status/class than you are to the wealthy. I'm just saying. People are so greedy that there are limits on us all.

Even the ones who left that impoverished lifestyle you mentioned are still closer to it than being wealthy. I think you should take your focus off of them and try to figure out why it's so hard to get where you want to go?

I don't go by social status, I go by mentality.

I have such issues with my brain structure. Mental illness runs in the family, I had a very traumatic ans neglectful early childhood. I lived in section 8 housing, the trailer we had before that was battered to shit and had holes in the roof. Before getting my shit together and being arrested twice I was on track to being a very violent individual. I took responsibilty, I took control and I decided it was up to me and me one. I lived the life you said makes such behavioral excusable but I didn't let it consume me.

Until you've lived it, don't fucking lecture me. Understood?

Everybody has a story and a past 1st off. There is no special treatment for you either.

It appears you feel that your past puts you in a position to have a certain say when it does not. As if because you've overcome certain odds everyone should. If you think you can sit and lecture or judge because of x,y,z then it puts you in a position to be lectured, and you don't know my story btw.

This conversation is all over the place. The horrible history of the Jews is not rooted in America. Why would they want or need special treatment here? This is silly.

Then the focus needs be on the communities and how to bring them together. The constant crime and victimization of the your neighbors is one of the reasons people in these areas are dysfunctional and adopt self destructive lifestyles. But groups like black lives matter intentionally take the focus away from that. The only solution to poverty so far is welfare which further enables such behavior. Instead that money needs to be invested in further educating such people into restructuring their lifestyle. However one you mention ending welfare everyone goes nuts, if you dare mention how destructive that lifestyle is you're likely to be called racist. It's a vicious circle.

39.8 percent black, 38.8 percent white. Technically it's even however these are only people that report their race to the census bureau.

I've personally seen more in person sporting ebt cards, or visiting social services and social security. Low income housing and ANY govt assistance is considered welfare. Coming from someone who use to be on SSDI I see no issue with it, the issue resides in becoming solely dependant on it.

You're going to see more so called police brutality. The ones who hate police are always the ones that get in the most trouble legally.

Police have tried to curb such claims by using non lethal methods but people don't realize non lethal doesn't mean completely harmless. With all the taser lawsuits and the recent rise in shooting police have been trained using military tactics to ensure that have the upper edge.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't resist and the vast majority of the time you won't be harmed. But when you start spouting off at the mouth and physically resisting bad things happen that the person who didn't follow orders will be held responsible for.
