BLM’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination is absurd and here is why

BLM was nominated to the prize by Norwegian left-wing and socialist politician Petter Eide, who is also known for his anti-American views. It is no surprise then that he chose such a candidate — one which literally helped destroy traditional Americanism through riots and looting.

It is also no surprise in the case of the Nobel Committee given that their website called the June 2020 protests in the US “good news”.

“Good news of the week: thousands of people throughout the world are engaged in fighting for human rights and against racism. The wave of protests, which began in Minneapolis and reached 600 cities in the USA and over 50 countries in the world,” read the statement at the time.

The British Guardian cited Eide’s explanation for the nomination. Written in politically correct newspeak and leftist terms, the text fits any organization which instigates conflicts in the name of grandiose slogans. Eide believes that BLM forced people at the peak of power to fight racism:

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality (…). Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice.”

deological slogans have already been used as justification of Barack Obama’s peace prize (2009) and Al Gore’s (2007). Yet, the other figures nominated for those years were activists and organizations with real achievements. For example, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali attempted peaceful solutions with Eritrea even though the prize for him caused controversy. In the other cases, humanitarian organization leaders pulled humanity out of poverty and helped end repression in African and Asian countries.

But BLM? For spreading a movement and fighting racism?

Al-Qaeda also spread a movement as did the Islamic State. ISIS also fought racism — like hell — against white people through more efficient methods than robbing American stores and with stronger determination than Democratic Party politicians kneeling before their citizens.
