For White People Who Want to Attend #BlackLivesMatter Protests
Wear Your Voice ^ | 7-11-16 | Ashleigh Shackelford

In the last two years that I’ve organized around antiblack violence and within the #BlackLivesMatter movement, I’ve witnessed white people showing up more and more to protests and rallies. At first, when we were protesting for Mike Brown for months in 2014, personally I was a lot more open to welcoming white allies who wanted to come out and help us fight. My personal/political naiveté and the need for more bodies trumped questioning their motives in the heat of the moment of something so important.

But after a while, I started realizing that trying to work with white people in direct actions became extremely triggering and tasking. I would witness many white people show up and want to be in the front — not to protect us, but to be visible and be in a photo. There would be swarms of white anarchists showing up, chanting “F*ck the Police,” completely disrupting our original chants and heightening the potential for violence against the Black protestors. Easily though, the anarchists almost outdo the groups of #AllLivesMatter folks who come out to walk in the protest but miss the entire point — even when most of the Black people call them out.

My thoughts on reparations are that they should all go back to Africa and demand reparations from their ARAB and NEGRO brothers and sisters who sold them into slavery to begin with.

There Is no biblical support for the Reparations Movement(Nevermind the claptrap the SJW’s try to hoodwink theologically weak minded persons with!) Behold Ezekiel 18:19-29

19 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. 20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

21 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?

24 “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.

25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair? 26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies. 27 Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive. 28 Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair?”

The “fairness” ‘blood guilt” police need to be confronted with Ezekiel 18 measure for measure, especially when they try to use religion as a support for their noxious views. The whole chapter destroys the notion of generational blood guilt and the need for atonement for previous ancestors’ past mistakes! The chapter even addresses “fairness” from God’s point of view!

Red x or the little box? 99% of the time I’m on here via smartphone, and have the same issue with images occasionally.

Unless Black organizers have specified that you need to come to a rally for buffers against the police,....


Classic black leftist protest move: Put whitey in the front to take the cops’ violence.

Whites should listen to this self described “queer” and oppose the racist black radical agenda with all they got. Show you care by being against racism in all it’s twisted forms and excuses. Don’t march for black racism in power as if it is a worthy replacement for white racism in power.

“Nah. You have to give us everything we need and more, because even if it means you go without — it doesn’t matter because that’s how we been living for 400+ years. Reparations will never be negotiable.”

There it is. Black nationalist, racist, revolutionary, Marxist group. Pretty clear, eh?

I can’t understand why any white person would want to attend a racist event by a movement based on lies.
“Hands up, don’t shoot” did not happen.
_______

Of course it didn’t happen. Police shootings of blacks really is a non-issue, and they know it. This is a revolutionary marxist group that urges killing cops as step in getting the violence going, that’s all. Don’t get hung up on their language, which is all lies. So in answer to your question, two types of whites buy in:
1. Revolutionary marxists who completely understand what is going on.
2. Useful idiots
