The Black Lives Matter movement
Mindful that the movement named "Black Lives Matter" does not represent everyone who is disgusted at George Floyd's murder, this is a separate thread specifically to discuss all things about that movement.
Please, let's be respectful to each other - it's okay to have different opinions.

Re: The Black Lives Matter movement
An exceptionally good video with lots of information together with statistics to back it, and including:
- Open Society funding of BLM.
- Open Society funding of Democratic mayors and governors ensuring their will be no opposition.
- BLM donate button literally links to ActBlue, which is fundraiser slush fund for the DNC.
- BLM wants to destroy the nuclear family yet this youtube very clearly blows the lid on the very strong relationship between black crime and deaths and fatherless parenting.
- Bidens role in filling up the prisons with extremely high numbers of black people.
- More black people getting killed as a direct result of these protests and BLM has said nothing about this.
- Statistics that show that the overwhelming majority of black murders are carried out by black murderers. BLM has said nothing about this.
- Welfare and it's impacts on black communities.
- Systemic destruction of nuclear families.

And if your link is in the video, I'm not stopping the video to review links.
As I said, the written word please....

And you seriously believe that to be a message that all lives are precious.
Not a diatribe in any sense, oh no.
