Do you ever 'question' the BLM movement ?

If this 2012 PBS Frontline Documentary doesn't answer some of those questions, perhaps nothing will.

(yes, it is 1:53:40 long, but watch it anyway)

yes ............ blm ignores their clear undeniable violent disproportional criminality of american blacks and its strongly contributory role in creating police hatred and paranoia . its a propaganda machine and it raises the art of public lying and hypocrisy to, frankly, trumpian levels. and the lack of any , as in absolutely zero, public criticism let alone the called for open lampooning, of blm is the very definition of thought control. a testimony to the squelching power of 60 plus years of murderous crime, riot, fire, looting. obviously a minority of them, but it seems the increasingly dominant minority, and now empowered to dominance in the media.

in Orwell,s 1984, didnt he posit the idea that the world would devolve into 2 poles of ideological absolutism, each set against the other, each providing the external enemy both needed, such that 2 parallel thought control empires would each have an "enemy" crutch to lean on? i give you exibit A ....... blm and trumpism. and the election gave us the polarized deadlock of two separate but each crazy worlds. ........ so much so that even stalwart agnopstics seem reluctant to speak about it, refering us instead to Frontlines not there to see.

The other day I was told only a small percentage of white children are among the very poor. That small percentage is also existing and matters. Just like the transgender community is a small percentage of the population they matter. These children cannot speak for themselves. I don't need kids coming to school calling each other Karen's or lecturing one another on how they owe because of their skin color. We take care of each other. We are sad when someone dies not because it is another black man but because it is a man a person a human being. There are people who have lost their white husband and grieving also in pain that may seem insurmountable at times. There was a black woman that threw paint on the BLM sign on the street in NY because she was frustrated with how her family was suffering as a result of riots. People attacking cops and threatening to kill cops extremely scary also and not really fair. We want to help each other but this can get in the way when people are threatening like this. Black people do actually shop and work in Targets! The emotions have been just running really high. I think we need to distinguish from what is actually racist attitudes and hate perpetuating situations and what is that we need doctors, nurses, teachers, listeners, food bank workers, other workers and builders coming together to help each other. We all really do need help and with COVID seems we have more crisis than we ever had before on top of everything.
