At least some black Americans can see thru the fake BLM movement:
Video of a group of black conservatives has gone viral, with them vowing support for President Trump and urging that others need to wake up to the duplicity of the black lives matter movement.
“It has nothing to do with advancing the lives of black people,” he continued, adding “Their main goal is to break up the patriarchal, like nuclear family. They want the men removed out of the family, which is what Democrats want also.”
“If BLM really cared about black lives, why would it be solely isolated to incidents where a black life is taken at the hands of a white cop?” the guy continued, noting “That happens less than one percent.”
In a perhaps related phenomanon, black support for Trump has more than doubled since 2016:
Two new polls show that President Trump has more than doubled his support amongst African-Americans, from 8 per cent in 2016 to 19 per cent today, despite five straight years of the media denouncing him as a racist.
“That both Emerson and Democracy Institute show 19% Black support for Trump confirms that Trump could be headed to significant support here. Trump received 8% of the Black vote in 2016,” tweeted PollWatch.
So much for the claim, continually repeated in the press without evidence, that Trump is fanning the flames of racism. Presumably his support would drop among blacks if they felt that way.
The facts about George Floyd and BLM
Now, if only we could get white people to wake up and stop being the willing dupes of BLM moral entrepreneurs. The duplicity of BLM is obvious even without considering these points:
- data and studies show no evidence of racial bias in police-related deaths. This undermines the primary claim of the movement. That’s ok though; the movement’s founders have admitted that it never really was about “racial justice," but rather, about gaining political power using Marxist agitation techniques.
- The “knee-on-neck” maneuver used on George Floyd is called a “maximal restraint technique” and is straight out of police training manuals.
- Common sense should inform you that, since the human airway is in the front of the neck, you cannot asphyxiate a person by pressing on the back or side of the neck – especially when the pressure isn’t even enough to cause any bruising or other signs of trauma. If you have studied martial arts and practiced choke holds, you know this intuitively. Even a blood choke, such as the “sleeper hold” also used by police, requires pressure to both sides of the neck, not the back. Coz that’s where the arteries are… doh. A person experiencing hypoxia from a blood choke would not complain they “can’t breathe,” because they wouldn’t have that sensation. They’d just pass out.
- Floyd was falling down and complaining he “couldn’t breathe” even before he was restrained. This is clearly evident in the bodycam video of his arrest. The restraint used on him by police had nothing to do with his breathing difficulty.
- “Positional asphyxia” is believed to exist, and police training manuals warn about it. However, more recent research (2014) has found no clinically relevant effect on respiration or circulation from restraint positions, including the face-down “maximal restraint position” used on Floyd. The training manual warnings were written in the 1990s or before, and are outdated.
- Floyd was hopped up on fentanyl and meth when he died – a toxic combination known as a “speedball." He was also a recently positive covid patient.
Like the Black Lives Matter movement itself, it is amazing that Floyd’s life – given his underlying health conditions and chronic criminal behavior – lasted as long as it did.
Even if Floyd had been murdered in broad daylight, on his way to church, by white officers sporting swastika armbands and white hoods and shouting “nigger!” while swinging crowbars, the fact remains that no evidence of systemic or widespread bias in policing exists. (Hint: incidents, even sensationalized ones, are not statistics.) It therefore also remains clear that BLM is not about “justice,” but about advancing a political movement that has little or nothing to do with so-called “racial justice.” The founders themselves have admitted this, and their tactics, propaganda, and constant lies demonstrate it.
In other words, BLM is about power.
Even some black people, who have been lied to all their lives by American schoolteachers about “oppression” and the mythical “systemic racism," and who are encouraged to ascribe their personal failures and disappointments to external or societal causes, can now see through this sham.
So, my dear white Social Justice Warriors: why can’t you?
