Haven't finished catching up yet, but I have to vent a little bit.
Someone here wrote previously (can't remember who) how s/he doesn't feel like engaging too much in following this new craziness, and I'm experiencing the same thing. After the whole corona bull**** I feel too 'saturated' to start checking all the details on this one. One reason could be, that this BLM craziness isn't (at least not yet) happening anywhere near where I live, but I'm not sure. I've been following the news quite intensively for many years regarding all sorts of topics, but now I feel somehow disinterested in this one. Perhaps the experience with the corona coverage momentarily drained my 'news energy', and now I need to charge my batteries for the next real battle.
Anyways, I'm not sure what's going on with this feeling I'm experiencing, is anyone else going through anything similar?
I actually went from checking corona news less to checking this whole other craziness more. We haven't had any looting here or anything, but the protests in Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotterdam were pretty large. Someone drew "racist" on a statue (Pim Fortuyn's statue - a politician who was assassinated), and people threw stuff at police buses. I don't think we've had any white people kiss any black people's shoes yet, though (that was shocking to see, my goodness).
None of those people followed the 1.5m rule, by the way, but it's all good and they won't get fined, because according to Amsterdam's leftie mayor; "this is very important". The anti-lockdown protest that took place before all this, was stopped by police officers, and if I remember correctly several people were arrested. Now that the anti-lockdown people witnessed the BLM protests, they have one planned for tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how that goes.
Regarding BLM, I'd like to see them talk and raise awareness about the slave market in Libya that's the result of their beloved Obomber. They never talk about that. Or what about the black ex-officer killed by looters or the many black people killed by other black people? What about black people killed or racism in Israel? Apparently: "In March 2018, chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel, Yitzhak Yosef, used the term
Kushi to refer to black people, which has Talmudic origins but is a derogatory word for people of African descent in modern Hebrew. He also reportedly likened black people to monkeys." (
Wiki) No global outrage in 2018? What about all the black people killed in Africa by US-sponsored Boko Haram... No global outrage there. Besides that one moment when Obomber told us to be outraged about those kidnapped girls - but that doesn't count as it was a
creation to further their agenda, as usual.
I'm starting to think BLM doesn't go for all black lives (sarcasm).
Anyway, I came across
this video where Trevor Noah shares his thoughts on recent events (I don't even follow him, just came across it). Thought I'd share some thoughts:
He says that people who loot/riot do it because they're 'tearing up their contracts they signed with their society', because society didn't honor that contract, i.e. didn't live up to their expectations. So, that's why they loot, because they have nothing to lose, he says. But why kill a poor man's life, kill a puppy you stole from a shelter, burn a house while a child was inside, loot and destroy supermarkets keeping people from getting a meal on their plate, destroying an elderly black woman's shop, and so on? Why can 'tearing up your contract' not just be a peaceful protest? Not having anything to lose doesn't automatically translate to resorting to harming innocent people.
Then Noah goes on to say that there is no right way to protest. Would he say the same thing if protesters would break into his house, and steal his expensive belongings? Would he say "Hey guys, good on you! There's no right way to protest. Take what you need. I understand, you're simply 'tearing up your society contracts!" I doubt he would.
He also says that the reason why black people kill black people is because less justice comes their way than if you were to kill a white person... Okay,... and? He doesn't follow up on that. Are we to say ''Oh ok, that's understandable"? No, it's a serious problem. And he says black people care (and I'm talking about BLM and co), but if they care, why aren't they marching in those streets?
Why don't they at least, at the very least, make the environment in those neighborhoods better to live in? Such as that young (white) republican guy did who decided to clean up the streets and who was helped and praised by the black community there.
He ends with: "Don't ask yourself whether looting is right or wrong, ask yourself how you'd feel if your 'society contract' was ripped up every single day." Plenty of people of all skin colors (including black) who are suffering daily don't go around looting TVs or taking lives, but work hard every day to make a change in their lives, and many do become successful.
So yeah, what Noah says doesn't add up and didn't convince me.
It's all organized, and people are being manipulated and used. Hopefully more and more people will see the truth. Lastly, I wanted to add some interesting words from Malcolm X:
“The liberal elements of whites are those who have perfected the art of selling themselves to the Negro as a friend of the Negro. Getting sympathy of the Negro, getting the allegiance of the Negro, and getting the mind of the Negro. Then the Negro sides with the white liberal, and the white liberal use the Negro against the white conservative. So that anything that the Negro does is never for his own good, never for his own advancement, never for his own progress, he’s only a pawn in the hands of the white liberal. The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros, and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have.
If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked, or deceived by the white liberal then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man. The only way that our problem will be solved is when the black man wakes up, clean himself up, stand on his own feet and stop begging the white man, and take immediate steps to do for ourselves the things that we have been waiting on the white man to do for us. Once we do for self then we will be able to solve our own problems.
The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox. One is the wolf, the other is a fox. No matter what, they’ll both eat you.”
Though, I do think Trump cares about black people, unlike the '"smiling" foxes' Joe Biden, Killary, Obomber, Soros and co.
FWIW!
