She is taking away from the real message of BLM. BLM needs to speak up and get rid of this organizer!!! https://www.wbez.org/stories/winning-has-come-through-revolts-a-black-lives-matter-activist-on-why-she-supports-looting/398d0f3f-73d0-4f2e-ae32-04cceba0d322 #blm

BLM has always been a violent movement. The mistake some peacful protesters made was identify with then and think the movement could be
vlej
mainstream and peaceful. This is not where BLM comes from, nor where it can go. There is a huge need for social reform and protest is needed
vlej
but there needs to be far more than alienating one organizer. People have to choose what they want, and group properly and effectively. As
vlej
long as BLM remains the fuclrum and focus of the conversation the cause will remain a losing one.

Yup. The phrase is one everyone can get behind. Sadly, opportunists took it and take their own actions in its name.

"Blm? Sure they do! Thanks for letting me rob you :)" this is all i ever see on social media

In every movement, throughout history, there have been centrists and radicals. Do you not understand that?
clinicalsanity
in what way does that vague truth invalidate the point that its not good for them or their image? Dumbass.
glovelyday
You're obviously in their thrall. More perspective, more objectivity, & I should note, more maturity, & you would not have that comment
clinicalsanity
aight troll, how about you just go play in the nearest 4 way intersection. I'm a realist champ, and we dont need you or your mindset.
glovelyday
Yet another demonstration of you breadth of understanding and maturity? Impressive.

I thought we were going with "A few bad apples spoils the bunch" as one of the leading philosophies of these protests?
aflarge
I don't care if they thought it made sense before, I'd be THRILLED if people finally realized that was a stupid concept, now.
glovelyday
No, that's true about the police.

A few bad apples warrants an investigation to see if the bunch is spoiled, but collective judgment will always be lazy and idiotic.
glovelyday
Decades of failed "internal reviews", failed "reforms", and active resistance to change warrant more sweeping action. That isn't idiotic.
aflarge
External reviews and meaningful reforms aren't idiotic, but collective judgment is. If not, why shouldn't we judge protesters collectively?
Myballzzich
A few bad apples can spoil a bunch but this organizer is like the tree. She is advocating for looters and not peaceful protest.

What's peaceful about white cops indiscriminately killing black people? Fuck em, let the reparations be paid.

A few bad apples warrants an investigation to make sure the bunch isn't spoiled, but collective judgment will always be lazy and idiotic.

Hell, that's like, the whole reason why shit like racism/sexism are stupid and indefensible.
