IF BLM is really about equality and dismantling oppression etc. Why don't they give a rats ass about what is going on in Hong Kong RIGHT NOW?

The whole movement is so utterly confusing. Whenever I try to understand it the conclusion I draw is they are communists. It is the only thing that makes sense to me

You can buy an African slave in Libya right now for around 200 USD.

Not one BLM/antifa/fakenews group is protesting that.

    Yeah it's cnn, but search "price of Libyan slave" and there's a lot more.

    Oops, $200 was undervalued, looks like $400 and up.

      Sure does.

      Slavery ended two hundred years ago with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of American lives: So Evil! We want reparations!

      Slavery still continuing today: motherfucking crickets.

      Libyan Slaves Matter.

      Because BLM is Marxist, just like the CCP.

      Well the UK does since Boris has said he will take them all in.

      I don’t know where I heard it but I thought it was a pretty good point. Someone said that most of these movements have nothing to do with combating oppression, it’s the fact that they are not the ones doing the oppressing. I always wonder if races were reversed, if anybody else would give whites affirmative action. I think we know the answer for that.

      Communists and non-white. That and Hong Kong protestors are fighting to maintain their social and financial freedoms. Of course BLM and other left-wing identitarian movements won’t speak up.

      Just try finding student union condemnations of Middle-East countries other than Israel, China, or African countries where slavery and ethnic oppression are rife.

      No matter what you think about BLM, people are allowed to care about one issue, but not another.
