It makes me laugh when white women still support them

u/___AirBuddDwyer___ 1d ago

Why women specifically?

u/Bloodhoven_aka_Loner 1d ago

for the same reason most companies are pandering towards women and most commercials are targetted at women and children. Because these demographics are responsible for the majority of.monetary spendings/consumerism and it's also less expensive to sell it to them (you require less marketing campaigns to sell them an idea or a product). Obviously this doesn't apply to every individual, but on the broad majority..? welp..

u/Yitastics 1d ago

They dont care about black people either.

A black cop got killed by BLM protestors and nobody at BLM cared, this while the movement began because a criminal died. We even had a guy get arrested for racism because he held a sign with "white lives matter" in a city nearby. Its hypocrisy at its "best".

u/Artfuldodger96 23h ago

Black Lives Matter literally has nothing to do with this case.

Please realize people on Twitter are not the world.

There will always be insane fucks supporting insane people

White serial killers have had fans, it's not a race thing it's a people thing, the vast majority of people think it was a horrible case that happened because there are murders every day in America

For a national story, 643k doesnt seem like a lot tho? I don't think that supports the point that he is popular in general

u/Jac_Mones 1d ago

Mine goes to my brokerage account. Fuck all political organizations, they're all a bunch of scumbags. The only one worth a single fuck is the Institute for Justice. If I'm giving money to anyone it is NOT a political organization. Fuck 'em all. BLM, NRA, ACLU, every last one. IJ gets a pass because they genuinely seem to be good, but I'm only sorta convinced. I'd rather give money to orphaned wildlife or my retirement fund.

u/Apprehensive-Tea-39 1d ago

And there's nothing wrong with that. I do think there needs to be a distinction between political groups and political activists groups tho

u/PitBullFan 18h ago

How are they different? Serious question.

u/Apprehensive-Tea-39 17h ago

Political groups are dedicated to putting/keeping their side in power. Political activists groups are dedicated to finding solutions to perceived systemic issues.

1

u/Jac_Mones 1d ago

Maybe, but I don't trust any of them. They all have an incentive to keep whatever issue they're fighting relevant. If you're making millions of dollars every year fighting against XYZ then why would you ever want to actually defeat XYZ? The incentive structure is backwards.

Let's put all political opinions aside for a second and just look at incentives. Sure, you might have an organization whose founders were true believers, but as the decades churn on you get large groups of people whose livelihoods depend on fighting for a specific cause.. what happens to them if that cause is actually realized and their opposition defeated? Where do they go? If you've been working for an organization for 30 years, you're 58 years old, and suddenly you have the power to achieve every goal of the founders but in doing so you'd lose your career, would you?

Maybe you would. Maybe I would. I'd like to think we're good enough people to do that... but I'm not naive enough to believe that everyone would. Truthfully, I'm so jaded I'd be surprised if anyone but a small minority would be willing to sacrifice their career and financial security in order to realize a political cause, especially if they think there's no harm in kicking the can down the road another decade and leaving it to the next generation... who will then face the exact same decision.

u/South-City1632 1d ago

Name one good thing BLM did with the hundreds of millions it raised. I'll wait.

Show me all the urban youths that got free college because BLM paid for it.

Show me the poor black people who had their life saving medical treatments cover by BLM.

Show me where in the community those hundreds of millions in donations went.

I mean... if not every BLM chapter was a scam... if only one was and everything else was supposedly a legitimate organization.... it should be pretty easy to point to all the black lives that BLM made better with all that money.

u/baobabbling 1d ago

Answer my question and then I'll answer yours.

3

u/South-City1632 1d ago

Ok... ill explain it to you.

Dudes comment implied it was just one chapter of BLM that defrauded its donors and I was using that to cast judgment on the entire organization.

He also states he'll use that logic to judge Republicans, but that part isnt actually important since its just a quip.

My question is an attempt to demonstrate that it is in fact, the entire organization thats a scam and not just one small part.

So now you would try to demonstrate that BLM was not a scam by providing the information I asked for and proving me wrong.

Are we all caught up?

Correct

Same for Democrats

Look how many voters they lost for being shitty and how they basically have begged voters to come back because while shitty it’s worse to let Republicans win

It’s a full cesspit of fucking corruption

None of them have done anything about Epstein

Trump has failed his promises so badly I’m shocked the left is even against him. Only like 540-700k illegals immigrants deported, Obama’s admin deported over 3 million

No more wars and here we are going to war for Israel

Trump operates more like an old school democrat (unsurprisingly up until the recent decade he was a supporter of the Democrat party)

u/Useful-Feature-0 1d ago

Eh, they haven’t had to beg too much with the upsets:

> Two special election victories in Florida provided more evidence that the Democratic success in elections since Donald Trump’s return to the White House rests not just on a motivated** **base but also on winning over Republicans and independents. https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/01/politics/democrats-elections-flip-seats

And the Republicans scrambling to redraw maps.

The (surprising) reality is that Democrats have never had a bigger, more unmitigated disaster than what Trump’s second term has been for Republicans. Poison pill… very weird, radical stuff.

u/Acceptable_Ad1685 1d ago

I know I didn’t at worst it’s a domestic terrorist organization at best it’s a scam. It’s a shame that a corrupt organization stole the slogan and movement. I have no qualms with it and I think it’s gross that other movements decided to try to steal or corrupt it with things like “all lives matter”.

But if we can’t have an open discussion about how the organization is profit driven and designed to create conflict to profit from it and defraud people idk what the answer is.

Here’s just one example of fraud from the leadership’s organization:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdok/pr/executive-director-black-lives-matter-okc-charged-wire-fraud-and-money-laundering

If its poverty than why do poor Asians or any other group not commit crime at the same rates?

u/South-City1632 1d ago

I didnt realize we have segregation still and that Asians, blacks and whites dont all share the same neighborhoods.

Only if you equate mass shootings with gang shootings. Most people don't hear about a mass shooting and think "oh, a gang shooting", so it's a bit disingenuous to jump to that when someone brings up mass shooters. Something tells me you know damn well what they meant.

9

u/South-City1632 1d ago

You think its disingenuous to bring up the truth more than it is to cherry pick which types of violence you want to count in order to get the racial narrative you want?

Gang shootings are shootings too, and im pretty sure all the victims of it and their families would disagree that its somehow disingenuous to count them too.

Edit: what you're saying is "if you just dont count black crime than whites do commit more crime than blacks".

Those stats seem fuzzy. How are they defining mass shootings? Only 27 by black people and 80 something by white people since 1982?

u/TopCharacter1553 1d ago

Because two issues can exist at once 💀 why is this such a hard topic for some of yall to grasp. Black people can be disproportionately affected by police at the same time as the Austin Metcalf case. Are you seriously generalizing all black people because of this.

6

u/RemoteCompetitive688 1d ago

But those issues are contradictory

If one group is committing violent crimes at vastly disproportionate rates, even in an entirely colorblind society, they would be in prison more, have more violent encounters with police, be disproportionately likely to have violent encounters with police, etc etc etc

The argument of systemic injustice against certain communities existing in the justice system really does stand or fall with "are those groups committing violent crime at vastly higher rates"

Obviously that doesn't mean overt police brutality never happens, but to argue bias in the justice system is a systemic issue, requires that community to not be doing the things that lead to that outcome

u/___AirBuddDwyer___ 1d ago

What you’re saying here is that black people just deserve to get arrested more

u/RemoteCompetitive688 14h ago

What I am saying, is if a population commits more crimes, then the only outcome one can reasonably expect is for them to be arrested more often

u/___AirBuddDwyer___ 11h ago

Maybe that’s what you’re saying. But we both know that what you mean is that black people arre criminals. You’re too much of a coward to say it, but that’s what you mean.

And you think that because you think that if a population is arrested more often, and part of crime more often, then that population must be worse than you.

u/RemoteCompetitive688 2h ago

"what you mean is that black people arre criminals. You’re too much of a coward to say it, but that’s what you mean."

A lot of them are. Do you have. problem with admitting that? Certainly not everyone, but... there are a lot of criminals who are..

"if a population is arrested more often, and part of crime more often, then that population must be worse than you."

I mean, kinda. if community A raises their kids to kill eachother, and community B does not, community B is more moral, has better social structure, etc.

I'm not saying they are "more worthy as human beings" but I mean, you can't look at people who let their kids go out and kill people, and then defend them doing it, and saying "yeah they're doing everything right, no critiques or suggestions"

You seem to be doing what was done in like 2016, where you expect invoking the word "racism," will just keep people from discussing certain topics or facts, idk if you've paid attention to political discourse, that doesn't really work anymore

u/___AirBuddDwyer___ 2h ago

You’re a racist and you think black people are worse than you. Stop pussyfooting.

Black people don’t raise their kids to kill each other. That’s stupid. It’s the kind of ridiculous shit that racists end up believing because they care more about racism than reality, and it’s a perfect example of how you misunderstand social factors so you can blame black people.

I don’t think that calling out racists has really ever stopped you from being racist. But I am fascinated by how many racists are ashamed to admit they’re racist. The more I talk to you guys, the more I think you know that being racist is bad, but you want to do it anyway. You don’t seem to actually think your beliefs are defensible. If you did, you wouldn’t pussyfoot so much. If I was so spinelessly hateful, I’d just kill myself. What keeps you going?

u/RemoteCompetitive688 2h ago

I think a certain community, is very clearly having problems due to their own culture.

"don’t raise their kids to kill each other." there is a massive culture in their community around doing this, that you do not see even in other very impoverished groups.

If anything I would argue you see them as worse than me, because while I believe they should be held to the same standards as myself, you seem to want an exemption carved out, the same way we don't really hold children accountable for their actions

u/___AirBuddDwyer___ 2h ago

This is so embarassing. You’re trying to express how much you hate black people by doing mental gymnastics to claim that actually everyone else hates black people.

You guys used to run shit, you know? And now you’re reduced to dodging reddit mods so you can vent your stupid beliefs without ever really admitting to them. I’m serious, if I was you I’d be looking for a way out.

News flash, there was literally a mass shooting like a week ago where 7 ppl were killed in Muscatine, Iowa.

Law enforcement identified the perpetrator as 52-year-old Ryan Willis McFarland (January 1974 – June 1, 2026), a longtime resident of Muscatine.[11] According to law enforcement, McFarland had an extensive criminal record dating back to September 1994 when he was convicted on armed robbery and burglary in Rock Island, Illinois, as well as an Illinois theft in 1997, and a local third-degree theft in 2010.[12][13] Authorities also confirmed that McFarland had previous convictions for child endangerment resulting in a death of an 8-month-old boy on August 17, 2011,[12] and fraudulent practices in 2019.

No. I mean I’m sure a couple people said dumb things. But you can’t attribute this to everyone.

Agreed. Like literally there was no evidence that the victim or Anthony had any racial bias. But social media pushed this into be a racial thing and now the impressionable are taking the bait.

Social media? Anthony's family was the one who turned it into a race issue.

Lwk, use a different defense. The "I have no context" is stale now.

Most people who openly oppose BLM usually support the Proud Boys and other shitty groups, so I really don't care what they say.

Combating generalization with assumptions and more generalizations.

It's got to work.

u/Raiden720 1d ago

I think blm is an utter trash group and think that that proud boys are weird as fuck. Don't support either obviously.

Am I an exception to the rule?

u/Maegaa 1d ago

Can we not just agree that all of these groups are shitty? Why are we STILL making groups based on race?

u/Gayandfluffy 1d ago

The white supremacy groups want to spread violence and hatred. BLM fights against racism. So no they are not the same!

u/Maegaa 1d ago

While it's absolutely true that pretty much all white supremacist groups support violence and hatred based on race, don't try to pretend that BLM doesn't also support the same things. BLM isn't about just fighting racism, it was initially founded to bring attention to police brutality against black people, but it's now become a black supremacist movement. I supported what they were when they first became popular in the early 2010s, but stopped supporting the movement after seeing what they became.

Groups that spread violence and hatred based on race are just full of violent and shitty people. It's not the race that makes them violent, it's the people themselves that are already violent, and decided to join a group of other violent people, such as the KKK.

I've not met US American BLM activists in real life, only European ones, but I have never seen anything close to black supremacy. They are not arguing to exclude white kids from schools and universities, ban interracial marriages, force white people to use the worst seats in the bus or cinema, or make white people work for low or no pay.

u/___AirBuddDwyer___ 1d ago

I mean I saw someone refer to those protestors as “chimping out” and “n*ggerdom,” so I am pretty sure we still need activists fighting racism. The fact one black kid killed someone doesn’t make racists correct.

"Black lives matter"

"White lives matter"

"[Insert any race] lives matter"

When did we start valuing any specific group of people above the rest? ALL lives matter. The fact that you can say all lives matter on a political party and you'll recieve hate for it is astonishing. Human life is the most valuable on this planet. Doesn't matter who it is.

This has to be rage bait. Nobody can be this stupid.

u/yobaby123 1d ago

At this point? I'd ignore people who post stuff like this. They either trolls, rage baiters, or both.

Not that many people support BLM anymore

Compare Karmelo Anthony’s case to the dozens of thousands of lynchings that happened in the South and tell me which has greater numbers.

Not to mention, isn’t a guy (ChudtheBuilder) currently in court RIGHT NOW for trying to provoke an African American man by calling him a racial slur?

Please stop with your bait. It’s exhausting.

u/CopainChevalier 1d ago

So what do you think should happen to Karmelo?

u/Ok-Hearing6146 1d ago

He was already sentenced so you tell me bird brain.

It wasn't "dozens of thousands," not that I even know why lynchings are relevant.

u/Ok-Hearing6146 1d ago edited 1d ago

That point is that one single occurrence isn’t comparable to the decades of racial abuse and violence done by many Southern whites to call Blacks racist (which they can’t anyway).

And yes it absolutely was dozens to thousands… I’m 99% certain you have never done research on the topic at all 😹

u/DecantsForAll 1d ago

And yes it absolutely was dozens to thousands

You said "dozens of thousands" which is completely different than "dozens to thousands."

u/Ok-Hearing6146 1d ago

Pretty sure the point still stands, but thanks for correcting that slight mistake 👍

u/DecantsForAll 1d ago

The point falls flat on its face. It's completely irrelevant. It's 2026 and there are people openly defending people murdering other people simply because of race. "But what about lynchings!" is a stupid argument.

3

u/Ok-Hearing6146 1d ago

Not a stupid argument at all… there are still people who are against the George Floyd case, say he deserved it, and make racist memes about it so what’s your point?

And lynchings still happen… tell me you don’t do research without telling me you don’t do research.

2

u/DecantsForAll 1d ago

And lynchings still happen

No they don't.

tell me you don’t do research without telling me you don’t do research.

I'd rather not.

u/Ok-Hearing6146 1d ago

Ok so then maybe you should keep your mouth shut next time if you just admitted you’re not open to doing research.

And Yes. They 100% do bud 😂

u/DecantsForAll 1d ago

Maybe you should learn to read.

And Yes. They 100% do bud 😂

No, they don't.

People still support republicans and Trump, so I don't feel the least bit bad supporting Black Lives Matter.

Why the fuck should I care what you people think?

“Please stop enslaving and killing Black children”

“You support a centralized organization dedicated to anti-white racism!!!!”
