Black Lives Matter

NYC has seen a 41% rise in homicides since 2019. Thanks to white privilege only 4% of all the people murdered in New York are white despite the fact that 41% of the city is white.

There has been a serious spike in murder and violence in every American city since George Floyd's death. The overwhelming number of victims of these murders have been black as are the perps.

Is the Klan behind the defund the police movement?

    What happened with this movement by the way? Haven't heard much about it after the election. I'm not saying there isn't an issue that needs addressing in the US, don't twist. Just wondering why it dropped off the radar.

    If I was highly involved with that movement, I'd feel a little bit used by politicians and the media.

    I mean - you remember what it was like a few months ago. It was crazy. Major corporations coming out. Defund the police movement, Mostly Peaceful protests nationwide. Looting. It was a big deal.

    It's all gone. Only Antifa appears to be left and they are only there because they took advantage of the cover.

    Yep, blacks get riled up for a few months every 4 years.

    Same thing happened to BLM and #metoo.

    Dem’s whip up division using identity politics and once they get what they want, the movements are discarded.

    Do you honestly think we are going to see marches by any of these groups in the next 4 years?

    If you are highly involved in blm you aren't the type to be disheartened when you get used. You find a new way to blame the man and get victim points.

    The antifa and blm folks have no center and no intellectual bearings. They just love to smash sh*t and engage in moral preening. Just wait until the weather warms up and our non-Winter Warriors come out of the basement to play.

    It'll suddenly rise again in 2024
