EAGLE RISING: Is Black Lives Matter Really That Stupid? Or Do They Have Another Agenda?

By Nicholas Wishek / 19 November 2015

Black Lives Matter claims to want to help black Americans. Logically, like Martin Luther King Jr. they would be trying to persuade others of the justice of their claims. This is not what they are doing. For starters, on its official site, the Black Lives Matter states that “Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise.” Wow, systematically and intentionally targeted, seriously? I’d like to know what reality they are living in. A parallel universe, perhaps? They spread the belief that white privilege is the root cause of all the problems plaguing African Americans. They say that American society is inherently racist, in spite of the election and subsequent reelection of President Obama. They maintain that the police are targeting African Americans simply because of race, in spite of the fact that many of the police officers they accuse are African Americans or other minorities themselves. 

Under its principal of “Restorative Justice,” Black Lives claims, “We are committed to collectively, lovingly and courageously working vigorously for freedom and justice for Black people and, by extension all people.” Pretty words, but then the old Soviet Union’s constitution had a lot of pretty words, too, and that doesn’t seem to be what Black Lives Matter are doing. Calling someone a racist who actually is a racist won’t change his or her mind, however calling someone a racist who isn’t just leads to resentment. Do it often enough and you will create a backlash. Black Lives demonstrators chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops? When do we want them? Now,” isn’t exhibiting ‘lovingly’ behavior. Certainly hearing, “Pigs in a blanket! Fry ‘em like bacon,” isn’t likely to improve relations between police and the African American community.  Yet this is exactly what the Black Lives demonstrators have done and are doing. In fact, the hateful rhetoric of Black Lives Matter is causing more racial tension, not less.
