BLM angry that paris attacks are getting attention

[announced]

yea, a terrorist group trumps a bunch of angry black people by far

Many of which were committing violent crimes, had weapons or otherwise, with a spare few that were actually cases worth pushing, but nothing requiring a social movement. There are some over-emotional cops and certain cases have certainly not been in favor of police, but the mass hysteria is just media hype and people feeding into it.

Would you care to provide some examples of some violent offenders that BLM were protesting for? Every case I've seen them protest has been unarmed blacks (and some Hispanics) who have been shot and killed by police. Further, in many cases the cops have outright lied about what transpired in order to cover up their wrong doing.

All in all, they're making racism in the US worse with the shit they've been pulling recently, and it isn't just white people saying that. They're breeding hatred right now.

I disagree. If BLM's actions are making people racist, those people were already racist in the first place. A group of largely college students protesting police violence shouldn't make someone suddenly hate black people on racial grounds. That leap in logic makes little sense.

Took me a minute to realize BLM meant "Black Lives Matter" and not "Bureau of Land Management." Needless to say I was a little confused as to why the Bureau would be upset with this.

Yeesh....

And they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

[Sky High]

siiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIGH, fucking idiots.

They need to actually use that frustration, and energy in a positive way, like improving their lives. Nothing is going to come of this, because there's no issue. People care about black lives, it seems like a lot of black people don't know how to care for themselves.

They do kind of have an indirect point. Stuff like this happens all the time in other countries where the victims aren't pasty white, and the attention is usually a half paragraph blurb. When it happens in a majority white country, its front and center for weeks and months at a time.

The difference is that most of those countries are third world countries where you can pretty much expect that kind of shit to happen. 150+ people killed by a terrorist attack while trying to enjoy a sports event in a first world country is a little different.

Except they have. Get informed. "Waaahhh you can't talk bad about them, they were created by the mean US."

You should improve your language skills or listen to people outside your clique.

To hell with them.

[Hana Song]

Sounds like they should get their priorities straight

Except when 16,000 people died in an earthquake in Japan, the biggest story was whether the US would have to close beaches over the Fukushimi Daiichi meltdown within a day or two. I would also point to the fact that when some American or European tourist dies in a third world country, its the only thing that gets reported.

The US declared war over pearl harbor why aren't they declaring war for all the black people who die by the hands of other blakc people in the US?
The only possible explanation is widespread systematic racism.

Western news reporting on western incidents, wew what a shocker.

Except Nigeria and France are in the same hemisphere. 30 Nigerians were killed in a terrorist attack a few days ago.

There's barely a blip in the news about it.

Very racist that the nigeria thing made bigger news in nigeria than in paris and not totally understandable that people are
more averse to risk for their own security.

[Xandrigity]

Well that will be the nail on the coffin. Any rational outside sympathizer will see blm for what they are.

Maybe you need to try reading the post he was quoting, taxing as that may be.

I guess now Soros knows that money can't buy timming! Yeah his "foundations" fund BLM, Mizzou and past Ferguson protests. If their job to incite the public to riot!

The BLM movement is a lot like the Feminist movement, the bad apples are ruining it for the legit change promoters.

The legit change promoters can still fight police brutality in general regardless if the victim was black or white and step out of the racial hate group that BLM is.
