Black Lives Matter Protests

No policy, no actual social change.

They used a machine to kill someone... which is exactly what a drone strike does. You can twist it however you want, but it's the same bloody thing.

This is a dangerous precedent for things to come... Don't be surprised when police use more drones/robots/machines to kill people on US soil.

I'm white, and I walked by a BLM protest in Seattle. I wasn't talking to anybody. I had headphones on, and was just listening to music. A black girl ripped off my headphones out of nowhere, and like 6-7 dudes swarmed, to protect her. They told me to go back into the caves white people belong in, and that my life was not worth anything because I was white. I took a skeptical view on BLM for the most part, but I am fervently against them now, racist scumbags. They threatened me with violence while I was attempting to walk away, and they were cheered by maybe 40 people. Their fascism isnt even hiding behind a smile anymore.

That's where you're wrong. The goal of BlackLivesMatter is to protest against the systemic racism prevalent throughout the US criminal justice system.

Every movement has its angry hotheads and crazies who lose sight of what the movement is about. There's nothing wrong with BLM's goal. The problem is the lack of clear leadership, like a Martin Luther King or a Malcolm X, to keep their supporters in line.

Shaun King, Deray Mckesson, and the rest of the de facto leadership of BLM have proposed nothing. Mckesson was invited by President Obama to talk to the heads of police unions at the white house. He yelled a lot about injustice, but by all accounts brought nothing but an sjw tantrum.

And yeah, Malcolm X kept his people in line with the promise they would get to kill white people, and MLK wanted equality under the law, not a totalitarian social justice, policed thought state.

BLM want equality under the law, just like what MLK wanted. There's still a great deal of racial inequality in the criminal justice system, which punishes black people severely for minor crimes while letting off white criminals with a slap on the wrist for major crimes. There's a deep flaw within the US criminal justice system that needs to be addressed, and that's why BLM exists.

I think that is a major oversimplification. There are plenty of white people that get pounded with heavy sentences as well. There certainly exists an inequality in the system as I do believe that certain crimes are punished far more than they should be - and those crimes tend to be more prominent in some minority communities. The war on drugs for example, but there is a bipartisan effort to cut that down started by Corey Booker and Rand Paul.
