“A Little Girl Is Dead” Frustrated Mom’s #BlackLivesMatter

[a.mann]

should there by more public outrage shown from the community and protests demanding justice for Jamyla Bolden?

So is the blk lives matter movement and other grassroots organizations out here demanding criminal justice reform to address the attitudes, laws and police practices that lead to these broken communities where little girls are often killed by stray bullets....or nah???

I see she is in pain, but its misdirected

Every one of these organizations have a lane....

You don't see MADD (mothers against drink driving) out here changing their mission statement now that texting and driving deaths have spiked.....they may mention it, but the focus still is and will always be to combat drunk driving....

People are falling for the okie doke.

Read what you wrote. Mothers against DRUNK driving. See how specific that agenda is?

Im not reading that. Its a broad slogan. I dont see how you can argue that point.

So should they change their names? Because if that is your gripe, then so be it. But let's not act like they aren't staying true to their original purpose....
http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/

#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted for his crime, and dead 17-year old Trayvon was post-humously placed on trial for his own murder. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our de-humanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.

It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all. Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, black-undocumented folks, folks with records, women and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. It centers those that have been marginalized within Black liberation movements. It is a tactic to (re)build the Black liberation movement.

When we say Black Lives Matter, we are broadening the conversation around state violence to include all of the ways in which Black people are intentionally left powerless at the hands of the state. We are talking about the ways in which Black lives are deprived of our basic human rights and dignity. How Black poverty and genocide is state violence. How 2.8 million Black people are locked in cages in this country is state violence. How Black women bearing the burden of a relentless assault on our children and our families is state violence. How Black queer and trans folks bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us, and that is state violence. How 500,000 Black people in the US are undocumented immigrants and relegated to the shadows. How Black girls are used as negotiating chips during times of conflict and war. How Black folks living with disabilities and different abilities bear the burden of state sponsored Darwinian experiments that attempt to squeeze us into boxes of normality defined by white supremacy, and that is state violence.

#BlackLivesMatter is working for a world where Black lives are no longer systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. We affirm our contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression. We have put our sweat equity and love for Black people into creating a political project–taking the hashtag off of social media and into the streets. The call for Black lives to matter is a rallying cry for ALL Black lives striving for liberation.

So why is there all this criticism?

The whole point of a hashtag, is to explain something with just a few words. The fact you need half a page to explain #blm is exactly why people keep calling it out. I swear 90% of the time #blm is brought up....it's by people trying to explain what it's about. Then these same people get upset that others don't know what their ill-conceived hashtag really means.

And to add, people need to stop making #blm the face of anti-police abuse. The movement was around long before it, and it VASTLY bigger than a dubious hashtag group. They're sucking up all the oxygen on the issue, and clearly controlled by political entities. We were talking about bills, reforms, etc., before....but now it's all about hashtag definitions, and Campaign rally crashing.

Now it really all comes together and makes sense why this bitch talked all that bullshit

 

[a.mann]

How much are we willing to bet that the same criticisms would be brought up if they had a name that aligned with their mission?

#savingblacklivesfrompolicetyranny

the mission statement and objective is all in the name

there is no confusion on what the expectations is

 

[Brother_Five]

what do u call someone who is confused by something... gets unconfused... and continues to feign confusion?

 

[a.mann]

Now it really all comes together and makes sense why this bitch talked all that bullshit

what about pro-black/black conscious brothers that you can not only find pictures of them being friendly to white women....they actual have have kids with them?

Does that invalidates their authenticity and concerns for the community?

 

[a.mann]

I'm asking becuase THIS is weakest method of disparaging a person becuase you disagree with their opinion and positions on issues

Not necessarily.

But it's obvious she I biased in her criticisms towards black men.

Shouldn't women look toward their men to lead?

Because if she was a lesbian black feminist (such as the co-founders of #blacklivesmatters)

many here will be saying the same shit about her

I personally have no understanding of them doing shit like that. It actually makes me look at them funny.

No I wouldn't say it 100% invalidates their authenticity and concerns but that shit comes off as funny(not haha funny), strange and not truly logical to me.

Thread is proving black folk do not read let alone watch a video but go on surface information.

And it also proving that #blacklivesmatter and those that scream that it here and aboard are full of shit

Think about

There's absolutely no concern or outrage about the lil black girl that got shot up

But man oh man are they mad about this mother speaking up against the lack of outrage and concern about the lil black girl getting shot up

Um, we do. I didn't know about her until this woman used hee as a prop. Why don't you start an organization that does such?

baby girl couldn't even getting a R.I.P.

from any of these (alleged) pro-black/black conscious #blacklivesmatters champions

breaking news:

you can't champion "black lives matters!" yet pick & choose the circumstances of when those lives matter

(at your convenience?)
