Yeah...even people I highly respect on here. Still do it's just disheartening.
They're not emergency relief but I'm sure those that can assist are.

Love this!
I agree that all lives matter, and that all kinds of people have been affected.
Nevertheless, the question is valid.
The rescue efforts during the last flood have been highlighted as a
major failure, both politically and socially, because apparently, black
lives were disproportionately affected.
The BLM should be all over this shit.
Funny how if it were mainly Caucasians involved in a natural disaster.....
You'd automatically assume the government and natural disaster relief crews would step in and handle it. Without any problems or questions.
But because it's minorities mostly damaged by this....the movement towards stopping police brutality is supposed to step up and take charge.
Delusion at it's best.
@Montgomery...first let me say I understand and respect your opinion
...Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international[1] activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism toward black people. ------ not floods ...fire...or natural disaster
for me ....this question is like asking "this woman was raped where is the fire department"?
there was a tornado where are the police...... don't they protect and serve? what?

BLM reminds me a lot of "Community Restoration in Progress"... In a millennial sort of way.
Most ppl know what happened to them

I respect your opinion, as well, but I don't agree.
Asking 'Where are the police' during a natural disaster is not absurd, IMO.
I think it's a good thing that the cops are rescuing people over there... where
do you draw the line on 'protect and serve'?
For what it's worth, though, I think the Soros-funded BLM itself is contrived,
and I don't think that their priority has much to do with race... I'm not
even remotely surprised they're absent.
Heck, the president is vacationing in Martha's Vineyard.

You don't recall what the police did, during Katrina, as advised by the President... do you?

After your comments can't take you serious on this subject.
Still respect you...just not about to go back and forth on the trivials when the obvious is glaring.
Like I said, the posts I saw were of some of the blacks complaining they aren't there to help them. I saw a video about it.
I was just asking if anyone had heard that they were. Was hoping the post was just hype. No sarcasm intended.
No one has said they were, so I suppose my question is answered.

kay...little bit confused? what does Obama have to do with black lives matter—? this is not the subject at hand ...which was blm and the flood in Louisiana ....I"m only talking about the matter at hand...but if you wanna talk about lack of presidential response in Louisiana floods ..there are OTHER presidents that did NOT respond in the most timely manner ..*cough cough george bush*
For what it's worth, though, I think the Soros-funded BLM itself is contrived,
I'm also confused on this statement mostly cause its not really true ....— soros funded Open Society Foundations (OSF), a progressive-liberal grantmaking network he founded (as the Open Society Institute) in 1993 to fund civil society groups around the world---
$ 1.5 billion on democratic development in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union;
$ 677 million for public health issues such as HIV and AIDS, TB, palliative care, harm reduction, and patients’ rights;
$ 205 million to fight discrimination and advance the rights of Roma communities in Europe;
$ 2.6 billion to defend human rights, particularly the rights of women, ethnic, racial, and religious minorities, and often marginalized groups such as drug users, sex workers, and LGBTQ communities;
$ 2 billion for education projects ranging from preschool to higher education reform;
$ 1.4 billion to promote reform in the United States on issues such as criminal justice, drugs, palliative care, education, immigration, equal rights, and democratic governance.
some groups that OSF where ALREADY funding participate with black lives matter.....but EVEN IF SOROS...did directly fund them why would this be contrived?

Ok. Thanks for explaining.
I wonder why those folks are complaining. Maybe they misunderstand the purpose as well.
Floods and disasters are violence too, though when you get down to it.
I see Police, firemen, Christian groups, national Guard, and a variety of community groups helping out. I don't see why they can't too. Anyone who wants to help is welcome. Just because a group is organized for a different purpose doesn't mean they can't help as well.
'... but EVEN IF SOROS...did directly fund them why would this be contrived?'
This is a great question.
And let me clarify that I said the group is contrived--
not the Cause.
George Soros is behind some of the most socially
destructive movements and endeavours around the
world... he uses people and hijacks *their* causes to
bring about chaos and and basically debilitate any
sense of civility we have left.
He's dangerous, and anything with his money behind
it is suspect, in my book.

If it were the LGBT group complaining that their support group wasn't there for them I would ask that question.
If it were the AARP, I would as well.

Ignorance.Civilian organizations are discouraged from rescue efforts, as they often become someone else for already overburdened professional heroes to save.
Isn't it at the relief stages now?

God forbid your question wasn't answered first.
But to answer your initial question, yes--
I have a huge problem with what Bush did during Katrina
And I don't think anyone expected the BLM folks to buy rowboats
and go out on search and rescue missions for which they are
unqualified-- I think people expected the same media attention
and public support/awareness for the current flood that they have
been giving to the one that's over a decade old.
I personally know people in Baton Rouge who have lost their homes, their family heirlooms, their memories, everything they've worked for their whole lives.
I'm seeing a lot of Facebook posts about what's really going on. It's sad. Really sad.

That's possible.
I only asked about BLM because that's the group getting flack from their members.
I tried to research and couldn't find anything saying they were helping so I was hoping someone on here knew something.
I really didn't mean it the way it was taken. I should know better. I've been off DXP for the most part lately and have forgotten how sensitive it is here.

Has BLM stepped up to help out in the floods of Southern Louisiana?I've seen a ton of media articles and videos stating that black citizens are complaining that they haven't stepped up at all in rescue and/or aide attempts. I'm just checking to see if this is true.
Black lives are at risk there and need help, I'd be surprised to find out they haven't offered any assistance since this group stresses their message is to save and help black lives.
Just curious...
I'm hoping all these media statements are wrong. Hoping someone can provide proof that they are helping.
good catch OP
I hope you're really concerned, and not just being a little piece of shit on the internet.
I'm actually curious to know what you're doing for those drowning black people over there.
(I'm not black just fyi)

I'm way further out than that.
I hope that whole 'trusting the government' thing works out for you, though. 🙂
Guess you guys missed the memo that the rich white guy, who's a shit stirrer, who was also funding the BLM to be a shit stirrer, has stopped funding them. He got his panties in a twist or some shit and poof, there goes the money and the backing.
It's no coincidence you aren't hearing about it much in the media anymore.
We're all fucking puppets for rich white guys. When will people open their damned eyes?

, I have sent cash directly to those I personally know to help them out. So they can buy food, clean underwear, stay I a hotel, whatever they need. They got out with just the clothes on their back.

When has language policing helped solve any of the problems the "language police" 'seems' so concerned about?
"Facts dont care about feelings". Fact is they are black.
The black, the African-Americans, etc, what difference does it make which words one uses to refer to that specific group we all know the OP is referring to? You dont need to look so much into things sometimes, sometimes an apple is just an apple, not necessarily apple juice.

LOLZ most of the "conspiracy theories " are proven true from the email hacks.
I don't know about BLM being there helping out. I don't pay attention to mainstream media because they manipulate you little lambs. I know that the organizers of the peaceful marches in BR and Denham Springs have organized shelters. Everyone is trying to help each other out right now.
Of course the government is making them purchase a permit before citizens can start rebuilding their destroyed homes. Still trying to steal from people while they're down. Assholes.
And you clearly believe the stupid leftist media lies that "Putin wants war" or "Putin is the bad guy", you should actually go and search interviews/press conferences with Putin, then you'll probably start to see how much logic and common sense this guy has and why he's regarded by many in the world now as one of the best world leaders. Why else do you think western media will seldom broadcast entire press conferences/interviews of Putin.
The bad guy who is secretly pushing for policies to provoke a war is in the White House and his name is Barack Obama, and the next in line for the same stupid policy is called Hillary Clinton
Anybody know if the Red Cross shows up to offer you some sort of emergency relief after your family member has been murdered?
JUST CURIOUS.
After a murder don't we dial 911 the number for emergencies and isnt the Red Cross all about emergencies?
Actually the root of the whole "problem" of racism is giving words too much weight, and this weight is sadly given for various political/ideological agenda's that have nothing to do with a simple...colour. A colour is a colour, that is all.
oh, so BLM is a medically-trained emergency evacuation service now?
good point
