Black activists hope killings prompt more action from whites

When white students (at least until the last few years, when most educated teachers retired) fail to learn, they either attend summer school or stay back; teachers were allowed to fail them without cries of “racism”. Blacks have been socially promoted for decades now, and end up as angry unemployable adults who realize they’ve been duped; they hold worthless high school diplomas and college degrees because so many really are functionally illiterate.

There is no way to excuse that; teachers are the first “soft bigotry of lowered expectations” encountered by blacks, and it condemns them to meaningless lives. The scales have fallen from their eyes, and their self-loathing has erupted into racial violence.

Well said. Mind if I steal it?

"We are literally at war with people trying to propagandize the nation into supporting them so they can take over and put us under despotic rule. We are in extreme danger."

Bears repeating.

If the goals of Black Lives Matter on their webpage http://blacklivesmatter.com/guiding-principles/ are what they expect “whites” to do, they are not interested in a solution to their problems.

Their goals ara a mishmash of classic Marxism/Leninism (”...disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement...”) and neo-Marxism (”...dismantling the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” that require them to mother in private even as they participate in justice work.”

Their goals accept the idea that black men remain sperm-donors and that black women are the key to their own future.

They make the classic Communist error of believing that human nature is basically good apart from any power higher than the state and community itself, and that human beings will act collectively for the good of the community simply because they are innately good.

They make the classic mistake of assuming that monetary income is not a consideration in the achievement of their goals of collectivism and anti-patriarchalism. So they set no goal whatsoever to solve the glaring elephant of a problem in the black community, namely fathers who do not provide for the upkeep of their families.

And finally, they do not openly or honestly take into consideration that the defining feature of the Marxist/Communist philosophy that they are embracing is that basic change ultimately only occurs by violence. If the New Black Panthers commit the violence for them, as in Dallas, that is nothing more that a logical manifestation of their own philosophy.

In other words, Black Lives Matter has set a series of goals that are impossible to achieve, and would fail if implemented, as evidenced by tangible results in the 160 or so years since Marx wrote his stuff. And they expect that the nation should change every principle and ideal it has lived by in order to accommodate their bankrupt philosophy.

The action by BLM will not improve race relation nor will it improve the condition of inter-city blacks. But for some reason I do not believe that is the real goal of BLM.

It's about the conquest of America and the surrender of her sovereignty. Soros money is behind BLM and all these activities. BLM is just a beachhead.

And when those white allies have outlived their usefulness...well, BLM may very well give them the ISIS treatment.

Some people get what seem like useless degrees because they are looking at jobs where any college degree helps (police, military).

Malcolm X knew blacks had to lift themselves; his message is dead today...

Thank you; you are welcome to it!

The Irish voted Democrat until they were financially independent enough (through their own hard work) to be “free”...
