I repeat what I have said before:

BLM has a foundational logical flaw. The premise behind the movement is that black happiness or lack of it is a consequence of white behavior. This is a radically dis-empowering notion. Blacks do not control their own destiny according to BLM.

For any black who truly believes that any and all problems blacks face are the result of white domination, there is a continent where almost all countries are run by blacks. By moving to any of those countries, they would be free of the malign influence they say keeps them down. Two questions? First, why aren't they moving there? Second, why aren't those countries paradise on earth?

Maybe, just maybe, the problems we are looking at have nothing to do with race and everything to do with following ideologies that don't work, and never have. Just a thought.

You are entirely correct.

Unfortunately this debate happened 100 years ago between W.E.B DeBois (founder of NAACP) and Booker T. Washington.

DeBois was of the perception that you described, and Washington argues for a more self-reliant perspective.

There are today many many intelligent voices in the black community beginning to make themselves heard.

Momentum is on their side. But boy they've got a lot of dead wood to clear...

BLM is terrorist group which uses violence and threats of violence to influence political process.

BLM shouldn’t exist.

Fuck BLM.
