Just in case: TRIGGER WARNING
I have been looking into this movement and some of the things that I have found has been quite appalling. So the question is whether or not this movement is legit or just a rallying call for black supremacy. According to #BlackLivesMatter the term "all lives matter" is racist.
Along with this appalling statement directed at whites; "You have to actually sacrifice yourself." What is that supposed to mean? What does that entail? Is it related to this video from University of Harvard students?
I'm sorry but a call for whites to kill themselves is going too far. There is no justification of these statements.
Evidently the movement's infamous co-founder is literally about killing whites. She even posted a tweet about it. Later removing it.
This movement is looking more and more like supremacy than anything else.
Continuing on we find that they are inevitably racist none the less despite whether they are about black supremacy or not. Apparently they have a no-whites policy. They decided to have a meeting at the Nashville Public Library with the explicit rule and I quote, "BLM General Body meetings are open to black and non-black people of color only." Obviously having anyone white would destroy their cause. The library decided to ban the meeting with sane reasoning, "Library officials said all meetings at their taxpayer-funded facilities must be open to the general public and news media.." BLM decided to call this reasoning white supremacy. “Due to white supremacy in our local government, this week’s BLM General Body Meeting location has changed, BLM General Body meetings are open to black and non-black people of color only.”
They try to defend their nonsense with this quote, "The Nashville Chapter of BLM has this policy in place to center the voices and experiences of people of color that have historically been excluded or segregated within supposedly public spaces, [W]e view these spaces as integral to healing and community building, particularly to those who have experienced racialized violence and ardently maintain this policy as imperative to the work and mission of BLM.”
So lets talk about it. Is this movement real or is it black supremacy?
