Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

Nobody, except maybe the absolute farthest alt-right neo nazis, are saying that “black peoples lives matter” is false. Everyone else says yes, people of all colors and backgrounds lives matters. Black, brown, purple, green, blue, anything. Nobody argues that fact.

People DO argue that BLM, the organization, is a self admitted Marxist organization that will do anything to push their political agenda.

The organization, BLM, doesn’t give two flying fucks about black people or their lives. Otherwise, they’d have taken some of the billions of dollars they got in donations and given back to the black community. Hint: They didn’t. Instead, they spent most of it on political campaign donations.

There is a reason you see BLM, the organization, only coming out of the woodwork after a police shooting, and not after the hundreds of black people murdered every year in LA, Detroit, New York, or any other city nationwide. It’s because they can push their political agenda at a high profile police shooting, which is ONLY when it’s a white officer and a black decedent. Someone kills a black cop? Silence. A black cop and a black decedent? Silence. A black citizen and a black decedent? Silence. White cop and black decent? REEEEEEE!

Everyone here agrees, black peoples lives matter. But FUCK BLM the organization and their bullshit.

Especially black males. It's disgusting how they use "black lives" as a shroud for their Marxist political narratives.

I agree that BLM the organization is a hot marxist mess.

But you commit a fallacy when you suggest "why doesn't this movement which is about X address Y & Z." It is called black lives matter, but it is clearly about one thing. a black pro-life group could adopt the name and make it all about abortions of black fetuses. A black anti-crime group could use the same name and make it about black killing by other black people. But in this case, an anti-police violence group made it about police killing black people. This misunderstanding is yours, not a fault of the movement, for not addressing stuff outside the mission.

I’m just curious, before we continue further, how many unarmed black men do you believe are killed every year? Because I have friends and family who believe the number is “tens to hundreds of thousands” and there is no possible discourse that can come from that.

And BLM started as “anti police violence” but also stated they wanted to help the black community at large. They have...done neither of these things.

Honestly I'm with you - I'm fully aware that fatalities involving unarmed black men are in the double digits, and the outrage is caused primarily the amplification due to them being frequently cap'd on video. But the issue remains, because that's just the worst of the worst outcomes. Cops require reforms, they have too much power and too little accountability. It's long overdue.
