Despite their public façade, BLM is actually a different organization than they try to appear to be. If they meant what they portrayed, they wouldn’t get upset by general agreement with their mantra. OF COURSE Black Lives Matter. That’s a subset of ALL Lives Matter.
But they DO GET UPSET by that comment. So, the question is why? What about that perfectly true response upsets them in particular?
I have read that they are contending that black lives have not been historically treated as having value: so that it undermines their message to say “all lives matter.” Well, then, what are they really suggesting?
Are they saying that for the sake of “historical justice,” the lives of currently living black people should matter more than white people’s lives? I suppose they would hesitate to overtly make such an obviously racist claim if they seek public approval.
In reality, the BLM organized movement has Marxist roots. They seek much more than the right to be treated fairly and equally by cops and the justice system. I agree with the latter. Of course all black people deserve equal protection when it comes to those matters. But the BLM organization seeks such crap as “redistributive justice.” They won’t say it too much out loud and our dishonest liberal media won’t report it.
But BLM is not what they want us to believe it is.
