“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.
No, I don’t like BLM because they only care about black lives when white cops are the perpetrators.
You have a black kid killed somewhere by gang violence? BLM is suddenly fucking silent.

I mean, last time you said it was because they inconvenienced you on the way to work, but I guess that wasn’t racist enough this time?
That was one time, this is speaking in general.
BLM don’t actually care about black lives. They care about the attention.
Talking about a little girl who got killed in a gang shooting won’t drive the clicks, views, and donations.
Did you read either of the links I posted? Here’s the stat you will NEVER hear from BLM:
1 in 40,000 white deaths is a homicide. It’s 1 in 5,000 black deaths.
Why am I the one having to tell you this? Why isn’t BLM shouting it from the rooftops?
It’s because…

So yes, police violence against PoC in the US is overrepresented by almost 3x the rate of white victims. It’s a major issue. Black on black crime is also a major issue but that is also correlated with poverty in general. So they aren’t the same issue at all, and BLM are free to advocate for whatever specific issues they want to focus on, because they can’t possibly have the resources to take action on every form of hateful discrimination that PoC face on a daily basis (like poor access to healthcare and worse treatment than white patients when they do get medical care, to name another couple of examples).
…because the BLM movement is specifically about police brutality against PoC…
Environmentalists and Activist Vegans have significant overlap but that doesn’t mean each group supports 100% the same things. They focus their attention on what they are activists for.
An environmentalist can chain themselves to a tree or protest a pipeline while still using animal products.
Haha holy shit, at least I’m not this dumb.
Oh, so you think it’s totally OK to ignore when black people are murdered by people other than white cops? Good to know.
No I’m just calling you stupid.
Because you disagree with someone who thinks all black lives matter, not just the ones killed by white cops. Got it.
