Is #BlackLivesMatter Leading Nowhere?

[Easy-E]

The point is, black women were pushed back in a movement created by us. If that isn't messed up, I don't know what is. The empathy that people felt for black male victims isn't there when it comes to us.

Ya'll were pushed back; the homosexuals who run #BLM were just more successful coming up off the death of black males.

Again, not my point. I don't care about those statistics. What I was saying is, black women were pushed back in a movement created by us. That's it.

There is some truth to this. Compare the reactions to the killings of black men to the killings of black women. I've seen black men support Brown, Garner, Rice, etc... Without any video evidence but demand evidence of Koryn, Sandra, Tanisha, etc... For every 5 black men the average person could only name 1 black woman who suffered the same fate, even though black women are brutalized just as much. I'd say it's more so the media's fault rather than black men's, though. But, the one sided support and hypocrisy is very much evident.

Yes it’s leading now where and to make matters worse, you have idiots like Deray being the figure head of BlacklivesMatter.

So @BeautifulTragedy's posts in this thread is just another example of BW seeking attention/validation from white people/media. Gotcha!

It doesn't matter that more black men are killed, the fact is black women should not be left out in a movement that WE created. One black woman is still too many.

I'm trying to understand what you're saying here. When you use the word movement, what do you mean? How are Black Women being left out the movement? Black Lives Matter the organisation was created by three women but the larger movement itself developed organically at a grassroots level.

Look at how many black men showed up to events for when their peers are killed compared to how many show up when black women are killed. But keep pretending like you don't know what I'm talking about and then act confused when black women choose to put our issues first, separate from yours.

Say no more beloved.

Seems that public attention is more important than actual solutions.

How are yall left out if the movement was started and is ran by queer black women?

Yall say yall are the ones "on the front lines" for black men and that we arent putting in the same effort then turn around and say some false shyt like above. Where is the logic in saying we push yall back yet according to yall we arent on the front lines?

So the question is did black men push yall out or did yall try to use black mens dead bodies as a way to push your own agenda only for it to completely backfire?


And do not quote me with that "yall dont show up for us". I went to PV with Sandra Bland. There were just as many black men at her rallies as black women. Insane considering PV has a female:male ratio of around 4:1.

Tumblr has rotted yalls brains and you need to log off from the echo chambers before yall get left behind.

I'll say the same thing when one of you become target practice

Well You're clearly a white supremacist so you would.

What? You mean you can be insensitive towards the lives of black women but I can't be the same for black men?

I'm being insensitive towards the desire for attention not the loss of life. BLM attemped to use the lives of young black males to gain political and social recognition. Very hard to do when the things they're protesting aren't happening to them. Events protested shouls always take precdents over those protesting them. What noble person asks for credit in a crisis. That's literally captilazing off of someone else's tragedy, which is parasitic and opportunistic. And let us be frank I have have seen the post of what these alleged activists think of those they allegedly crusade for. They were Looking for spotlight. which is irrelevant during a Gods damned racial cold war.

Putting all the focus on black men and leaving out black women by saying "it happens to black men more" is pushing us back. Okay, black men showed up for Sandra. What about Aiyana, Rekia, Charleena? It's almost as if black men feel entitled to attention from everyone regarding police brutality when it happens to them and everyone else is to shut up and support them.

Receipts? This sounds like heavy speculation and assumption. Especially since if there was such an issue the black women protesting these deaths would stop doing it. The issue is most of these deaths male and female don't get coverage.

And saying it happens to black men more is a statistical fact. Do you really hate facts that much because it invalidates your narrative?
