Black Lives Matter thread

I have some new respect for Bill Clinton for standing up to the BLM crowd.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/08/tell-truth-bill-clinton-clashes-with-black-lives-matter-protesters.html

“You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth. You are defending the people who cause young people to go out and take guns,” Clinton yelled."

Awesome.

"One protester yelled that “black youth are not super predators” – a reference to a statement Hillary Clinton made as first lady. The former president shot back.

“I don't know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack and sent them out onto the streets to murder other African-American children, maybe you thought they were good citizens,” Clinton said, his face turning increasingly red. “She didn’t.”

F*cking owned! I love it.

I do think the protestors were blowing Clinton's comments out of proportion. It's obvious that the comment from the 1990s was aimed at a certain subset of the population engaged in organized crime, the issue though is that "super predator" sounds sensationalist, and I think there's always a danger that even well-intended comments like Hillary's back in the day can contribute to widespread fear and distrust of all young black men, not just the minority involved in gangs. So while the BLM protestors in this case were being overzealous, I also think the Clintons could recognize how it might not have been wise to use a phrase like that.

I'm just glad Bill had the balls to stand up to them.

It was less him standing up to BLM and more him supporting his wife.

Or it was both. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Supporting his wife and saying something to the BLM group that needs to be said. Two birds, one stone.

Still takes balls because people get pissed off and whiny when you do. Iirc a ****ton of people demanded someone be fired at a university for disapproving of their wildly disruptive and childish behavior in a library.

But that's what happens at universities now because people are entitled pricks who think anyone who doesn't live up to their oh so lofty high horse ideals should lose their job. For people trying to enact social change, assholes like that are pretty close-minded.

Oh shit I remember that. BLM storms into a library obnoxious as all f*ck, shouting shit at the people. Some of them even verbally abuse the students to the point where one girl was crying. Then the administration apologizes to the f*cking protesters.

Or I remember the story of the politician who had to say sorry for saying "all lives matter" lol.

Yeah at what point did society decide to cow to the weakest pussies.

I actually kind of want to shake Bill Clinton's hand. "I almost want to apologize". Bwahahahaha. No need to apologize Bill. Does a math teacher apologize for telling his class 2+2 equals 4?

Black lives matter only if that black life is taken by a white male. BLM, if you read their mission statement, pretty much is a feminist/LGBT movement/hate group that is anti straight male of any color.

BLM is a hate group?

Well, yeah, I guess I would hate people who constantly shot at me, harassed me, and then told me I was a terrorist for sticking up for myself too.

This video shows the truth about BLM, the myth of blacks being overrepresented in death by cops and how black crime is intentionally downplayed.

Whites are more likely to be killed by cops and 200% more likely to be the victim of a black person than the other way around.

Black males are disproportionately more likely to be killed by police than any other group.

It's saying young black males between a certain age group are more likely to be killed by cops than whites. Which is true, its also true that black males in that age group are more likely to kill a cop than whites of the same age.

I said whites are more likely to be killed, which is true. You moved the goal post to not just blacks, but black MALES between a certain age group.

Blacks absolutely commit a massive disproportionate amount of crime, and disproportionate kill more cops than whites yet are STILL less likely to be killed by cops than whites.

How can you come to terms with blacks, who are 12% of the country, commit nearly half of violent crime? How do you deal with the fact inter-racial rape is almost exclusively black on white NOT COUNTING PRISON RAPE? In one year, there was only one white on black rape....one. Just ONE. Yet 1000s of black on white rape. Explain to me why this isnt talked about.

Just curious, why do you think this is? Do you feel it is just racism? Is that the only reason? Are there no other factors in why this happens? Since I think the answer to that question is an uncomfortable truth some people do not want to face.

I guess what bugs me is this "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing cops have to deal with. Some black men killed by cops did not deserve death, but that is only some. Even when you have a cop where he is cleared by evidence and a court..it's just brushed off with a conspiracy. Oh the courts are racist, the coroner is racist. Everyone is willing to risk their freedoms and career's just to be racist towards blacks.

Yet studies have shown some cops are now gun shy about doing their job, and when I say gun shy I do not mean just shy about using their weapon, but about even stopping people. Yet people will also whine about this saying the cops aren't doing your jobs. Then someone ignorant will come in and go "err derr what are you saying either cops have to mow down everyone they see or not do their job?" which isn't what anyone is saying, but some of these incidents you don't have a lot of time to think or react and a hesitation on the part of the cop could cost him his life.

Then it gets even better...it's sometimes wrong to merely say "well just listen to what the cops tell you to do, within reason". If they are telling you to sacrifice your first born child then refuse. If they are telling you to shut the f*ck up and stop moving then you shut the f*ck up and stop moving. If they say don't run then DO NOT run. If they tell you to put out a motherf*cking cigarette just put it out, take your ticket, and move on. If you disagree then fight it in court. I have fought tickets and won.

I also want to say that being poor and uneducated is not an excuse to be a violent criminal. It's just not. No, I don't care if you live in poverty. Well sure I care as in..I wouldn't wish actual poverty on someone, but if you're going to try to rob me because you are poor then all bets are off you don't really deserve the consideration of "well he is poor". These are not poor street urchins like Alladin stealing loaves of bread just to survive. I mean you can't eat a pair of air jordans. Or I guess you could but it would be unpleasant. Likewise, shooting a rival gang member in the face doesn't put food on the table, nor accidentally killing 3 innocent people in the attempt suddenly feed you. I mean is this a "Lost Boys" situation from Hook where we just imagine super hard that there is actual food there and then it appears? Just like some of these "poor" people are out there wearing expensive clothes and gold chains while living in houses that look like absolute piles of shit. When nice clothes and gold chains and a fancy car are the most important things in your life of course you will be poor.

I've seen people who don't have a pot to piss in, but they sure do have the nice designer clothes and all this other shit. Why is image more important to some people then food?
