Black Lives Matter movement nominated for Nobel peace prize
The Guardian ^ | 1/29/2021 | Martin Belam

The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world. In his nomination papers, Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies.

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality. Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice,” Eide said. “They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.”

I’ve said it before that the only thing dumber than a dumb Swede is a smart Norwegian.

If Yasser Arafat can get a Peace Prize why shouldn’t those who burned our cities?

Peace is war. Love is hate. Biden is President.

Looting plus burning plus rioting = Peace

It is science!

nobel peace prize was dead the moment they gave it to obama. For doing NOTHING.

If they were going to give it to anyone for the reason they stated, they should have given it to the US.

Unfortunately, they completely removed the value of the prize by their actions and no one should care... at ALL about it at this point. Its a joke.

There’s some serious weird crap going on in this country and the world.

Putin and Xi must be rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably.

What a mess...
