I understand the intent of #Blacklivesmatter but that in and of itself is not going to bring justice to Blacks. It is clear that law enforcement has declared war on Blacks all over the nation. Unfortunately most upper middle class liberals do not understand the nuances that lead to the critical mass of the Black condition, this was a protest that needed to be spearheaded from the streets on up, but it also needed to be focused and I think that is the biggest issue from jump street. If those rioters came at city halls and ploice stations when Wilson, Gray and the others were killed unjustly, if we stopped frequenting events that benefit the pockets of the bourgeoisie, if we put our local politicians to task and get these men arrested and taken to trial we would really be on to something. Instead it seems like we have the stance of people begging for mercy. If the powers at be can't love us then we have to love ourselves and if they can't respect, maybe they need to fear us, and I don't mean violence (unless as a last resort) but economic shut downs, revolt, and creating a more aggressive media presence in which we control our own images.
