This is what has happened today in America. AMERICANS -those of ALL colors and races and religions have stuck their collective fingers in their ears and are screaming at one another. NO one is listening to the other side and the buildup of hatred and animosity, I am frankly afraid, will lead to a terrible explosion.
So likewise, with this so called movement, aka BLM whose supposed objective is to assist the Black American community, a fictional tower of heated divided voices has been created to create animosity to divide all of humanity / mankind -into colors and races.
They claim that the problems of the black community are caused by whites, or, when whites are not physically present, by the infiltration of white supremacy and white systemic racism into American brains, souls, and institutions.
In the minds of the BLM followers;
"white supremacy is not merely the work of hotheaded demagogues, or a matter of false consciousness, but a force so fundamental to America that it is difficult to imagine the country without it." To the followers of BLM, " black history does not flatter American democracy; it chastens it."
The claims that the difficulties that the black community faces are entirely causally explained by exogenous factors in the form of white systemic racism, white supremacy, and other forms of white discrimination remains a problematic hypothesis that should be vigorously challenged by those who know the truth.
According to Ta-Nehisi Coates, the chief cause of animosity and poverty within the Black community is due to:
"Discriminatory laws joined the equal burden of citizenship to unequal distribution of its bounty. These laws reached their apex in the mid-20th century, when the federal government—through housing policies—engineered the wealth gap, which remains with us to this day. When we think of white supremacy, we picture colored only signs, but we should picture pirate flags."
It is statistically true that the lives of many black Americans are better than they were half a century ago. Rates of black poverty have decreased, black teenaged-pregnancy rates are at record lows—and the gap between black and white teen-pregnancy rates has shrunk significantly.
However, such progress rests on a shaky foundation, and fault lines are everywhere. The income gap between black and white households is roughly the same today as it was in 1970. Patrick Sharkey, a sociologist at New York University, studied children born from 1955 through 1970 and found that 4 percent of whites and 62 percent of blacks across America had been raised in poor neighborhoods. A generation later, the same study showed, virtually nothing had changed. And whereas whites born into affluent neighborhoods tended to remain in affluent neighborhoods, blacks tended to fall out of them.
The Pew Research Center estimates that white households are worth roughly 20 times as much as black households, and that whereas only 15 percent of whites have zero or negative wealth, more than a third of blacks do. Black families, regardless of income, are significantly less wealthy than white families. Effectively, the black family in America is working without a safety net. When financial calamity strikes—a medical emergency, divorce, job loss—the fall is not only abrupt but spontaneous.
As to the issue of the proportion of black incarcerated Americans. This proportion is often used to characterize the criminal justice system as anti-black. However, if we use the precise same methodology, we would have to conclude that the criminal justice system is even more anti-male than it is anti-black. Would we characterize criminal justice as a systemically misandrist conspiracy against innocent American men?
Statistically Black people are not incarcerated at higher rates than whites as their involvement in violent crime would predict. This fact has been demonstrated to be true multiple times across multiple jurisdictions in multiple states. And yet, the mass media produces a narrative that diminishes black agency in favor of a white-centric explanation that appeals to the Liberals apparent desire to shoulder the ‘white man’s burden’ and to promote a narrative of white guilt.
The BLM supporters claim that the criminal justice system is white-supremacist. However, they cannot explain just why it is that Asian, Indian or even Nigerian Americans are incarcerated at vastly lower rates than white Americans?
We have seen on social media that the followers of BLM attempt sometimes violently to silence and oppress discourse on the truth based on real numbers and statistics, by stating, “Only fascists talk about black-on-black crime”.
We have not been notified, ad nauseum, by news reports of just how the vast majority of violence visited on the black community is committed by individuals and members who are themselves "Blacks". What we have been lavished with are social media recorded incidents of Police or white on black violence. The mainstream "Liberal" press has blatantly ignored these incidents of "black on black" violence because it "does not conform" to their Liberal Kumbaya "Pro Democratic" anti-Trump hate filled agenda.
It is also why we have not seen marches or demonstrations for these invisible victims, nor have we seen public silences, nor heartfelt speeches from any leaders in the Black Community.
The patronizing and condescending attitudes of Democratic leaders towards the black community, exemplified by nearly every Biden statement on the black race, all but guarantee a perpetual state of misery, resentment, poverty, and the attendant grievance politics which are simultaneously annihilating American political discourse and black lives.
The conservative pundits Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk suggested that donations to the Black Lives Matter Foundation are being sent instead to ActBlue, a Democratic political committee:
"All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities, an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates."
In reply to the question; "Is Black Lives Matter a ‘Shell Company’ for a Liberal Super PAC?"
The Daily Beast reporter Lachlan Markay pointed out that Owens’s tweets, and Kirk’s by extension, are inaccurate. ActBlue is organized as a political committee, it acts as a nonprofit fundraising tool that serves as a conduit, rather than a collector, for donations. ActBlue’s website explains that the platform is available to “Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values.”Therefore, donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and to support the anti-Trump movement. This is grotesque given the fact that the American cities with the worst rates of black-on-black violence and police-on-black violence are overwhelmingly run by Democrats. Minneapolis itself has been entirely in the hands of Democrats for over five decades; the ‘systemic racism’ that exists there was built over successive Democratic administrations.
Ta-Nehesi Coates wrote a book entitled; "We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy" which was the was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South.
So after reading the essay "The Case for Reparations" also by Ta-Nehesi Coates, much of which is based on abject racism in Chicago. I wondered why?
WHY?
In ALL his meetings and interviews with President Obama, he never asked the first "black president" why during his two administrations, "We Were Eight Years in Power", WHY -President Obama, failed to act on those issues that so effected the lives of blacks in Chicago and in America?
Specifically those US Government offices and agencies such as the Federal Housing Administration which Ta-Nehesi Coates elaborates on in his essay; "The Case for Reparations".

“A government offering such bounty to builders and lenders could have required compliance with a nondiscrimination policy,” Charles Abrams, the urban-studies expert who helped create the New York City Housing Authority, wrote in 1955. “Instead, the FHA adopted a racial policy that could well have been culled from the Nuremberg laws.”
Or what about the banking system
"In Chicago and across the country, whites looking to achieve the American dream could rely on a legitimate credit system backed by the government. Blacks were herded into the sights of unscrupulous lenders who took them for money and for sport."
I ask WHY should this lack of criticism of President Obama and the Democratic Party go unnoticed, purposefully ignored and silenced.
And why is it that no one has noticed that large corporations who have acceded to BLM exploit blacks. Starbucks is an organization in favor of BLM. Yet, they buy their coffee from suppliers who literally use black as slaves in its coffee plantations. Or that the Sony Corporation which advertises it's backing for BLM uses cobalt mined literally by black slaves, many of whom are children ?
And what of this scandalous episode of "I can't breathe" George Floyd and his funeral!
For clarity, George Floyd was definitely NO SAINT as his criminal record shows! George Floyd was a man who hurt women, black women. And yet, ignorant Americans are celebrating this violent criminal, elevating his name to virtual sainthood.
He was a multiple felon who once held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint. He broke into her home with a gang of men and pointed a gun at her pregnant stomach. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Floyd was charged with armed robbery in 2007, and in 2009 took a plea deal to be sentenced to five years' imprisonment.
He terrorized the women in his community. He sired and abandoned multiple children, playing no part in their support or upbringing, failing one of the most basic tests of decency for a human being. He was a drug-addict and sometime drug-dealer, a swindler who preyed upon his honest and hard-working neighbors.
George Floyd was an "ordinary brother" from Houston's housing projects who "nobody thought much about," which makes his central role in a generational movement that much more powerful, the Rev. Al Sharpton said at his funeral Tuesday.Yet, David Dorn, a retired St. Louis Police captain, a father of five that had 10 grandchildren. Dorn was fatally shot and killed after responding to a pawnshop alarm during looting.
"God took the rejected stone and made him the cornerstone of a movement that's going to change the whole wide world," Sharpton said."Your family is going to miss you George, but your nation is going to always remember your name. Because your neck was one that represents all of us, and how you suffered is how we all suffer," he added.
So I dare to ask?
If Dorn is a "Black American" does his life NOT MATTER! Well it is quite evident that the hypocrisy scale is 100% in the eyes of the followers of BLM!!
We all saw where at the funeral of George Floyd, Al Sharpton, did not mentioned, nor "shower" with praise David Dorn in his eulogy of Floyd. Nor was David Dorn's family "blessed" with money, gifts and praise" from the highly hypocritical BLM followers.
Yet, we are exposed through the media to the highly hypocritical "Feel-good" gestures from politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, as well as some of the most senior Democrats in the House of Representative who wore Kente scarfs as they knelled in the US Capitol building.
All of these are feel-good gestures cost nothing and shift no power. They create no justice and provide no equity. The Democrats have proposed bills in the House, that should they pass as conceived, they will basically punish the law enforcement officer's in the system without altering the system itself. These bills would make the officers the fall guy for the bad behavior of a few while doing little to condemn or even address the savagery and voraciousness of the system that required their service.

It is true that this country has established in many areas a system of supreme inequity, with racial inequity being a primary form. This inequality is the direct responsibility of the electorate to elect representatives who will act in THEIR interest to legislate laws and acts to repeal and rectify this terrible injustice. The "sane" leaders of the Black Community MUST act immediately to step in and stop the rioting and looting and civil disturbance which is depriving their fellow citizens of their livelihoods, homes, property and businesses in THEIR neighborhoods and community's.
To many in the Black Community they see the police, not as those meant to "Serve and Protect", but as paid guardians to protect the wealth that the system generated for the "Privileged Whites" and to control the outrages and outbursts of those opposed to it and oppressed by it.

The successive failures of the Black Community leadership to act as one are allowing the creation of a generation of black men who are being coerced into identifying with George Floyd, the absolute worst specimen of our race and species. And yet should someone dare to speak up and to relay the truth or point out the error they are violent attacked verbally and physically. And of course, should you dare point this out your presence on the social media will stifled and removed immediately because to plea for sanity or to disagree with "THEIR" fictional is "unacceptable".
They assert that black violence is expected and insoluble, while violence by whites requires explanation and demands a solution. Absolutely NO OTHER discussion is allowed for non-black victims of black violence, who proportionally outnumber black victims of non-black violence.
The message of the bamboozled followers of BLM is clear: "Black lives only matter when whites take them". To their fanatical black and utterly brainwashed white followers, NO OTHER lives are worthy but Black ones.
