BLM or Black Lives Matter?
As a term of awareness, I'm all for it. There is plenty of evidence that black lives are not afforded the same value as others. As with all statistics, it is not absolute and the actual amount seems to only be measurable through crime statistics. When protests pop up following local police shootings, the frustration is that another life has been unfairly taken for little if any reason at all. People who go forward with this mind-set and ideology are brainwashed and misled.
Their message is fair, let black lives matter as much as all others. I get that. Unfortunately their movement towards social justice is marred by their acceptance of all the negative trappings that come along with any Marxist, Socialist or Communist organized action like BLM. The legitimate protesters, who are there in person to lend weight to this request of their fellow citizens don't want looting, Don't want more killings of blacks or any other race. Again, MOST don't want their cause to be consumed by this 'other' movement.
There is a subterfuge at work here. BLM is attaching itself to these protests until the blacks in America shun the violence and divisive tactics. But the American Black isn't much interested in politics, or public service or participating in citizen activism. They are almost exactly like all other racial lines in this country: they just want to be left alone. They love their lives as they live, no not satisfied completely but just like all of us, they are unwilling to give up their lives. What they see as injustice is unfortunately the outcome of the attitudes the black community have kept up through the years. Perhaps I understand this penchant to remain unincorporated or independent...or maybe I really don't.
If the solution to this problem is our collective unification, the blacks will have to come towards the center just as all others are willing to do. I can't speak for the actions of our forefathers and mothers.
For generations, the vile evil of slavery went on and the rich and privileged didn't have to be faced with it. When the nation began, still most didn't have to face it, but they knew it went on and they hated it. But to break ranks and speak up about it...alone...didn't make sense. Until later generations saw the atrocity and their parents' silence and private hatred, and decided to speak more freely about abolishion. But it was slow to take hold. Until another generation decided that enough was enough. And changes were made. But private contempt still remained: blacks were second class citizens as did the belief in the lie that they could never be a first class citizen.
The rich were the upper class, then middle class which was closer to the lower working class. Then came second class, or the poor. Generations were now coming up in the black households who hadn't experienced actual slavery but were part of a wide, overlarge black poverty population. Attitudes within schools and churches began to change with the wider believed principle that blacks were entitled to the American dream. Gradually, never suddenly, attitudes change, generations pass. A lie that was once widely believed has since been debunked, and those who once believed the lie are dead and gone.
Move Forward
We are here now and senses need to be soothed. We can do it, it's the first step to healing. Lend your ear and your heart: both Black and White. This will be the foundation our country will use to repel the evil of Socialism, Communism and Anarchy. We must believe in ourselves and our countrymen.
The ultimate purpose of this page and platform is to remind everyone who takes a moment to read, that we can have our quiet, prosperous, peaceful communities back and reclaim our streets from the forces of crime and anarchy because it starts with the one thing we affect directly: Our own homes.
It starts in the Home
We need to teach what is right and how to act with respect and love of our neighbors, our parents and our teachers. Teachers need the most help because the sad state of the childrens' moral compass today contributes so strongly to the anarchic mentality so many young people have today. This redefinition of social behavior will result in peaceful classrooms and accelerated learning while at school. Believe me when I say, our focus on improving the state of our national public education system needs to match the Left's focus which has been dominating school board rooms and teacher's lounges for decades.
