We’ve seen an awful lot of news out of the USA about “systemic racism” and the efforts of the Black Lives Matter movement to supposedly try and do something about that – in coordination with the US Democrat Party apparently.
Black Lives Matter (VOTE DEMOCRAT) cleverly has its name the same as the slogan, “black lives matter“. If you attack the former, you’re automatically dismissing and attacking the latter – you racist you!
So it’s worthwhile taking a look at what some Blacks have to say about Black Lives Matter (VOTE DEMOCRAT), starting with the Hodge Twins:
Then there’s this African woman – as in an African immigrant to the USA – sticking it to some White Woman who’s all in on Black Lives Matter (VOTE DEMOCRAT)
“The Blacks kill Blacks in Black neighbourhoods every single day. I’ve never seen a Black Lives Matter in those neighbourhoods. Never.
When a Black person kill a Black in a Black neighbourhood… when the Police come, you know what they tell the Police? ‘Snitches get stitches. Snitches get stitches‘.
Stop the hypocrisy”
And yet another example of the same phenomena:
“You racist white liberals do this shit every fucking four years. We’re tired of it…Fuck you, you dumb bitch. You’re not here for me. You’re here because you’re dumb as fuck”
Meanwhile, this elderly Black lady uses the softer language of an older generation to ask why her life didn’t matter after Black Lives Matter (VOTE DEMOCRAT) “protests” resulted in her little store being looted and trashed.
“You said black lives matter. Why don’t you choke me? I’m Black. Look what you did to my store. Tell me black lives matter. You lied”
And this young Black mother laments what the Black Lives Matter (VOTE DEMOCRAT) protests did to her community:
“Look at this. Can’t even get no fuckin’ food for my kids. In my hood.
… I feel like an animal and Black people made me feel like an animal. Y’all did this to us. I am so devastated right now.
…This is what we’re fighting for? This is honouring George Floyd?
…We’re so black and proud that we ain’t never going to be honest and be real about what’s really going on. Y’all are so wrong for this. You came into your neighbourhood and fucked up your shit..
…Y’all all let these White folks set you off – once again.”
This has happened to Black communities across the USA, effectively creating “food deserts“:
Neighborhoods near where I grew up outside of Chicago are devastated. One of my friends who lives on the south side of Chicago told me she and her husband have to drive to Indiana to get groceries now. There isn’t a grocery store anywhere near them that hasn’t been destroyed. She’s one of the lucky ones because she has a car. Many in her neighborhood don’t have transportation and they have no options to get to food stores now.
You can read more of the details and history of the BLM movement here. Suffice to say that it’s not just Left, but very Far Left, which is why it hooks up so nicely with the largely White Antifa movement. They don’t give a damn about Black lives but view them the way the Far Left view every issue – as just another club that can be used to smash the existing system and give power to their discredited socioeconomic theories.
And it’s much the same with the Democrat Party, although in their case they already have the power and are happy to maintain the status quo of almost total Democrat control in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, LA, Boston, Minneapolis and many others – and who need to hold on to 95% of the Black vote to do so. Nothing like a little “racism” for an election year to enable that.
I’d like to think that these woman, and the likes of the Hodge twins, represent a growing movement of younger Blacks who will join the likes of older Right-wing Blacks in rejecting the Democrat Party bullshit that controls the places – for decades in many cases – where these things have happened.
But that’s going to take a while. Sad to say that later this year I’ve no doubt Democrats will be re-elected in these cities, as if they have were not fully responsible for the factors of lousy education, crime, police systems, unemployment and welfare dependency that have led to this point.
Remember this guy too.
He was 77 years old but was guarding a friends shop during the riots and looting in St Louis when he was shot in the back by rioters on June 2.
His is just one of the many Black Lives that didn’t matter to BLM or the Democrat Party. As Anthony Logan put it, After David Dorn, I Am Done Trying To Empathize With Anyone in the Protests:
Remember all of this the next time some Leftist demands that you support Black Lives Matter (VOTE DEMOCRAT)

This is called redirection….. The spontaneous uprising against systematic racism in various police forces and the license to kill granted by qualified immunity (no I'm not going to put the link again) is not be confused with how whites treat each other or how blacks treat each other in the normal course of events.Think about the systematic brutality and contempt from police during the apartheid era and then saying well they are bumping themselves off in Soweto by the hundreds so it's not the polices fault.This is probably one of Hunters most transparently dishonest posts for some time.Petri Dish
Tomas endorses the following message from your local KKK.Right-wing extremists are turning cars into weapons, with reports of at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since protests against police violence erupted nationwide in late May.At least 18 are categorized as deliberate attacks; another two dozen are unclear as to motivation or are still under investigation, according to a count released Friday by Ari Weil, a terrorism researcher at the University of Chicago's Chicago Project on Security and Threats. Weil has tracked vehicle-ramming attacks, or VRAs, since protests began.The 20 people facing prosecution in the rammings include a state leader of the Virginia Ku Klux Klan, as well as a California man who was charged with attempted murder after antagonizing protesters and then driving into them, striking a teenage girl. Video footage of some attacks shows drivers yelling at or threatening Black Lives Matter protesters before hitting the gas.Terrorism, American Style, alive and well.
Right-wing extremists are turning cars into weapons, with reports of at least 50 vehicle-ramming…That's from National Public Radio (NPR), complete with a photo of one such incident in downtown Louisville. Just one problem: reality.Louisville Courier-Journal: Two charged in Louisville altercation where vehicle hit protester; driver not charged..In fact the video from which the photo was taken was what led to the arrest and charging of the two assholes, one of whom pointed a handgun at the driver.The driver, whose name was redacted in the report, told police that protesters surrounded her car and \”a verbal altercation occurred after which the protesters began to reach into her car, scratching her vehicle window … and assaulting her, pulling her hair (pulling out a dreadlock).\” Police say the driver sustained a minor injury.The report goes on to say that the driver told police that after seeing one of the protesters with a handgun, she was \”in fear for her life and drove away from the crowd.\” She subsequently hit one of the protesters running toward the vehicle.The driver then stopped for a red light at the intersection of Liberty and Fifth streets when one of the protesters, Darius Anderson, approached the vehicle with a handgun and pointed it at the driver, according to report. The driver then drove off again.Anderson, 21, was identified by video and later arrested later Wednesday morning, according to the report. He admitted to the incident in an interview after waving his Miranda rights and was charged with first-degree rioting, first-degree wanton endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, third-degree criminal mischief, second-degree disorderly conduct and obstructing a highway.And of course how did NPR know the driver was \”Right Wing\” in the first place? Because she was attacked by BLM/Antifa protestors and they used the same logic that Punch a Nazi Antifa uses. If they attack you, that must mean you're a Fascist. In fact the entire NPR report makes that assumption when there's actually one of those 50 of which that can be said: the KKK guy.Leftist bullshit, courtesy of a taxpayer-funded \”fair and balanced\” MSM source.
Ah Tomas, yes, NPR got ONE example incorrect. There is even an Editor's Note on the web page pointing that out. Unlike you and your \”I so can drink water\” POTUS, NPR is capable of correcting the record where necessary.That does not change the FACT that there have been many genuine cases of arsehole's using cars as weapons against people who are exercising their 1st Amendment Rights.Harry Howard Rogers, 36, weaponized his truck against Black Lives Matter protesters in Henrico, Virginia, according to a statement from Shannon Taylor, Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney. Rogers “was driving recklessly down Lakeside Avenue on the median, drove up to the protesters, revved the engine and drove into the protesters,” the statement read.and Outside of Virginia, the weaponization of vehicles to intimidate, harass and injure protesters has plagued movements geared towards social justice. According to Ari Weil, Deputy Research Director at the Chicago Project on Security and Threats, the weaponization of vehicles primarily began at Black Lives Matter and No Dakota Access Pipeline protests in 2015. Over the course of the past few years as Black Lives Matter protests have grown in response to police brutality and the abandonment of justice in sentencing officers, the usage of vehicles to violently target demonstrators has subsequently increased.and Vehicular attacks during the Black Lives Matter protests spurred by the killing of George Floyd have been a tactic of both disgruntled civilians and the police alike. In Bakersfield, California, protester Robert Forbes died after being hit by a car. On Sunday, June 7, the same day Rogers drove his truck into protesters outside of Richmond, a man in Seattle drove his car at protesters. After hitting a barricade, he exited the car and began shooting. One 27-year-old protester was wounded.Similar incidents have happened in Gainesville, Florida; West Fargo, North Dakota; Akron, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; Old Pasadena, California, and other cities.At a time when police brutality is being aptly criticized, some officers are using this very same tactic on protesters. In Brooklyn, New York, video surfaced last week of two police cars ramming protesters. Video recorded in Florissant, Missouri, also appeared to show a police officer hitting a protester with his car.and but I think even someone with your level of thickness can see the pattern. Or maybe not.You love to tell us how violent ANTIFA is, yet can never offer examples that come close to this level of murder and mayhem.
arsehole's ????You said you were an American!ߘ ߤ㰟 ߤ㰟 ߤ㰟 ߤ㰟 ߤ㰟 ߤ Better trolls than you and Pasty Dish are needed to deflect from what American Blacks are sayng about the assholes of BLM and Antifa.

Tomas, when I write for an English speaking audience, I try to use English idiom. When I write for an American audience, I try to keep it to the level of two hands hold water glass people.Assholes / Arseholes? Does it matter when people are using vehicles as weapons of mass destruction? You concentrate on my use of idiom because you cannot defend the assholes and you refuse to condemn the arseholes. It is plain to see where your sympathies lie.
Tom,This is one of your most absurd posts. In a population of 40 million black people, you can always find some contrarians. It does not change the issue that the US has a problem with systemic racism, derived ultimately from its history of slavery. There are way too many cases of unarmed black people being killed by police officers for it to be dismissed.Is there a problem with gangs and nihilism? Yes, just as there is in New Zealand. In part this is also the result of decades of discrimination and inequality. It won't be easily fixed in either country.But to pretend that the only underlying problem is the people themselves, then connect it to a contemporary mainstream political party is truly ridiculous.Maybe you should think more carefully about your posts. There are enough posts that border on the absurd that they undermine those that are more thoughtful.
\”There are way too many cases of unarmed black people being killed by police officers for it to be dismissed.\”The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database.https://pointofordernz.wordpress.com/2020/06/04/research-shows-crime-and-suspect-behaviour-not-race-determine-most-police-actions-in-the-usa/
Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 429 civilians having been shot, 88 of whom were Black, as of June 4, 2020. In 2018, there were 996 fatal police shootings, and in 2019 this figure increased to 1,004. Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 30 fatal shootings\” per million of the population as of June 2020.\”https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/US blacks are only 14% of the population also your source is suspect.Petri Dish
Yep. Then adjust this by the incidence rate of criminal acts by race and it will become more clear that blacks are not being over represented in shootings by police.
PD, your statistic is meaningless as it doesn't consider the crime rate by race. If blacks are over represented then naturally the shooting rate will be inflated .
Ignorance, thy name is Johnno.What do you know of the US. Other that what you glean from Tomas, that is?Meaningful statistics are impossible to collate. There is no centralized police statistics. Each police force is independent and reports or does not report as it sees fit. That is why we have to rely on the MSM you otherwise deride to collate, as best they can.The CDC has tried several times to maintain a national database of ALL gun crime, and each time have been prevented.Try arguing against this.
PD, your statistic is meaningless as it doesn't consider the crime rate by race. If blacks are over represented then naturally the shooting rate will be inflated .An argument can be made that blacks are over represented in the overall crime statistics, but that is because blacks are targeted for petty crimes much more often than whites.During Giuliani's \”stop and frisk\” in New York more than 90% of those \”stopped and frisked\” were innocent of any wrongdoing. 1.9% of frisks turned up a weapon, however a weapon was found in only 1.8 percent of blacks and Latinos frisked, as compared to a weapon being found in 3.8 percent of whites frisked.In 1999, blacks and Hispanics, who made up 50 percent of New York City’s population, accounted for 84 percent of those stopped and frisked by the NYPD; while the majority of illegal drugs and weapons were found on the relatively small number of whites detained by police.So yeah, blacks are over represented because they are over persecuted.
