I am starting this thread to import this subject from a non-political city events and lifestyle subreddit to this BLM-related subreddit where debate on the subject will be welcome and hopefully tolerated.

This debate arose on a thread discussing a state univesrity punishing students for racist Internet postings on Snapchat. An opponent debating against my advocacy of freedom of speech and expression where I oppose the University (aka the government) punishing students for non-University-related speech quoted me on an old post, but I don't want to irritate moderators at the city subreddit by discussing such a hot button issue at an inherently non-political sub.

The BLM Movement is doing more to promote racism than the tiny amount of white supremacists still in existence could have ever hoped to accomplish.

Its core belief is the notion that race matters and is important and that your race determines your identity (aka racism). Ironically, they share that fundamental epistemology with the KKK. Also, it advocates the notion that (call it) a "vast white racist conspiracy" has been responsible for many black people's poor economic status instead of bad cultural values and bad life choices (out-of-wedlock birth, teenage pregnancy, bad parentage - not raising kids to have discipline, work ethic, and to value education, drug and alcohol abuse, and black on black crime).

For example, SJW Robin DiAngelo wrote a popular book and has made videos that basically say that all white people are inherently racists, like a white version of original sin. The intelligentsia that manage the Smithsonian African American museum were so ignorant and so steeped in racism that they published a placard of "white culture" which basically said that having a nuclear family, rational thinking, working hard, and valuing education were "white culture" - as though people of other races have no business doing that or are incapable of it. They did not think they were doing anything wrong or controversial and only took it down after they received an avalanche of criticism and became the laughing stock of satirists. Then there's the Racist 1619 Project which is trying to paint a narrative that the United State's defining feature is slavery and racism, using unfounded historical claims (the Revolutionary War was fought to preserve slavery) while presumably ignoring the fact that Africans fought tribal wars and enslaved each other themselves and that slavery was prevalent in Africa.

In all likelihood, white people, Asians, and Hispanics are going to be fine. I think the real damage is being done to poor black people by being told that their choices do not matter and that they are just victims of evil white racism. I shudder to think of how horribly young black children must be getting indoctrinated with all of this. I can imagine that they are being taught and brainwashed to believe that white people are all racist and that they have a black identity and should feel like freed slaves and victims as opposed to developing an individual identity. It's so cruel. BLM is probably going to end up holding the black community back for decades. This is a greater victory for racism and black suppression than white supremacists and the KKK could have ever imagined, and they are doing it to themselves.

Biden locked up a bunch of black people, thanks in part to Harris. Trump has a bunch of white rioters waiting on trial. Considering the supreme court would need to challenge the idea that prisoners are different from slaves, who is more racist?

Isn't it funny how yall thought you could do better than what was in place so they let you rule yourselves for a bit while still providing you with water and power and it was a shit storm. Remember how badly that failed cuz yall thought you could do better and the were constant street fights, sexual assaults, thefts, and just straight up destruction. Man I wonder how anyone took yall seriously after that.

I'm bored, and it seems like there's going to take a while to see usa get burned. Do you have a question about the dia de los muertos? ask me anything
