What Is BLM, really?....

I’ve been giving this a fair amount of thought, because I’d struggled to reconcile the public backlash against the phrase “All Lives Matter”, which, if you think about it, is entirely more holistic and inclusive, in nature, and here’s what I’ve come up with. You have to think of BLM as a brand, one that currently generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
A competing movement such as “All Lives Matter” is a direct competitive threat to that brand. I’d mistakenly written off BLM as a movement following the Ferguson, MO riots and subsequent protests on campus at Missouri, as their leadership seemed as disjointed and divisive as the Occupy Wall St movement from just a few years prior.
What I’d failed to conceptualize at the time was that BLM had something that OWS did not, and that was a visceral and clear racial component, and that is what made BLM such an appealing conduit as a special interest group and fundraising arm of the DNC, given the fact that race = ratings on cable news, and harnessing that energy and public profile was a potential ratings and money making bonanza for mass media and the democratic national committee.
This is all theoretical, and 100% my original thoughts on what we are seeing and why we are seeing it, but ask yourself, why else and how else could such radical and dangerous policy maneuvers be made to seem so mainstream, at this point in time? It’s too well organized and narrative driven to be simply a grassroots uprising. This has been planned, funded, and coordinated, and the returns(donations) are rolling in by the trainloads. In the short span of 6 weeks it has become socially unacceptable on a GLOBAL level to not support BLM in some form or fashion. That’s astonishing, and the revenue potential there is otherworldly.

At some point, this entire debacle is going to be disclosed.
BLM itself is already getting slaughtered with the Susan Rosenbergs and her ilk in position of leadership. It’s just taken common sense and truth a little tim to get their own guys in there.
But no....we need to tear it all down because of one shithead cop 4000 miles away? Fuck you, Seattle Council. Fucking unimaginative, feckless, reactionary cowards with zero talent in leadership and problem solving.
Who are these underserved communities going to call when robberies, homicides, rapes, and assaults occur? Will it be Their appointed community social worker? After they re-boot 911 dispatch and a shooting gets called in, do they think an ambo is going to arrive on-scene without a police escort? These people are fucking nuts, and they’ve been handed power because a scared-of-her-own-shadow Mayor and Clueless Governor were too worried about public backlash on Twitter to get in front of this thing when buildings were on fire in downtown Seattle and “autonomous zones” were being erected and internally blockaded in the middle of the economic capital of the region. This is an embarrassment and I will not participate tax-wise 1 Irish nickel more than I have to, going forward.
Fuck.
These.
People.
They ruined the crown jewel of the Pacific NW, and they did it knowingly and enthusiastically.
Right now they are the fundraising arm of the DNC. They were broke but now flush. All donations go to Actblue and click donate. It's the DNC. This is all run from the top of the dem party down starting with BHO.

So BLM is led by whites.
actually, almost any protest that happens after 1-2 days after the event is choreographed by some commie/socialist/marxist organization. The innocents protesting got caught up in an emotional event to them so do not bother to check the $$$$ path.
Occasionally a spontaneous protest does happen but those die out quickly.
either way we are doomed
