The problem is systematic and goes beyond high profile killings or BLM, when you have a system created by white people you inherently benefit from being white, unfortunately most people in society refuse to recognize the struggle of those beneath them in social, economic or gender classes. Blacks make up 13% of the population but own less than 0.5% of the total wealth, thats an entire race born into poverty and a lack of opportunities, yet the same people who like to ignore these issues are always quick to pull out crime statistics and label blacks as violent criminals.
The spiritual intent of BLM was not only black lives matter but black lives matter too, thats something that has been lost among it's activists and the media, this issue compounds when other agendas are applied and BLM is ironically used as a weapon against black people.
The problem with having these decentralized groups formed on the internet with no central leadership is that whenever something happens because of their direct influence they can always deny that they were the cause.
ReplyDeleteIt was the same with gamergate as it is with BLM. For example whenever some gamergate lunatic threatened to rape and kill some woman or something else terrible on the internet, the gamergate community would deny they had anything to do with it and denounce it.
It's just the same here. This guy says he was sympathetic to the BLM cause, the movement as a whole denies any involvement and even when people on twitter cheered him on in blm name, its just isolated lunatics and its still denial by the movement of their involvement.
All decentralization is, is a way to take credit whenever the movement accomplishes anything they consider good while utterly denying responsibility whenever anything bad happens in its name.
BLM as a movement is incredibly a negative influence on public life today. How anyone can deny that is utterly stupid.
