Fuck BLM. It's the black KKK.

It's the black KKK

Oh, please. Call me when BLM is organizing lynchings like, you know, the KKK actually was.

"was" being the key word. The newest reformation of KKK hasn't been involved in shit for violence. But BLM members ARE organizing violent protests, with tons of violence against whites. But mostly blacks lol.

I totally agree that the modern day KKK is completely powerless. In fact, if they want to hold rallies they need police to protect their asses because even white people want to kick their asses. The KKK is dead and that's the way it should be.

But the violence coming out of BLM organizers doesn't even hold a candle to what we got from the KKK. Can we attribute more violence to BLM today than we can to the KKK today? Sure. But that's purely because the KKK is dead, and not because BLM goals are in any way comparable to the goals of the KKK.

Pretty much agree, but I think the BLM goals are pretty similar. It's about racial superiority and dominance. Different core beliefs, like BLM wants to disband police, destroy the family unit and instill communism (according to their platform) while the KKK aims for the exact opposite. But I get your point.

like BLM wants to disband police

Those people exist, but it's a fringe. The majority want meaningful reform of the police state. End qualified immunity, send perpetrators of police brutality to prison, etc.

destroy the family unit and instill communism

Now you're off in crazy town. There may be retards trying to piggyback off of the BLM movement to achieve these goals (in similar fashion to how AOC introduced the Green New Deal when only a minority of it was actually about environmentalism), but the core BLM movement is about police reform.

You're the one in crazytown. BLM wants to dismantle Christianity and everything western culture was founded on.From the horse's mouth.

"We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence."

"We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work."

"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable."

"We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise)."

You should read their platform. It surprised me too, when I first read it. https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

The family thing is said it clear English, but the communist stuff is just strongly alluded to.
