Aims of BLM

Ok it’s the Daily Mail .

That aside what do you think ?

Could there be some truth in this or is it just propaganda?

BLM may not have started with those aims Muddy? It certainly
could morph into having them?
Especially if, as seems to have happened they get supported by
more radical groups with media backing? And even with tacit approval
from from well placed political and intellectual individuals, as also
seems the case lm afraid?
Anything is possible imo?

Re: Aims of BLM

BLMUK has sometimes focused on curious targets. In recent years, it has attacked everyone from Oxfam (‘big charities are nothing more than colonisers for the 21st century’) to Sir David Attenborough.

The group accused an episode of his 2018 TV series Dynasties, on chimpanzees, of being racist because the BBC naturalist complained that habitat destruction due to overpopulation was threatening the species with extinction.

‘Human activities can obviously compete with wildlife,’ the anomymous BLM Tweeter opined. ‘But “too many people” always has a silent “black”.’
Verging on paranoia, and absolutely not what was meant.

Re: Aims of BLM

Excellent article Muddy....There are more than the Daily Wail who have questioned their activities.

Allowing 'Black Lives Matter' to flourish in the UK is absolutely disgraceful and should be revealed for the racist, terrorist and anarchist organisation that it really is. It is a threat to every man woman and child in this country, black or white, or anything in between. The sooner it is swept from these shores the better.

I totally agree Foxy!
There were many weird religious sects created in the USA that lied to get others to believe them. Fortunately social media wasn't as popular then, so they didn't influence our our young people.

Sadly now all youngsters listen to social media and, as most people see the USA as a great place, it is now easier to get us to support other things. People who support this are probably feeling that they are doing something good for the black people, but those who are more intelligent know that the leaders of these protests don't care about the black people. They just want the power to change things to how they want them to be!

I agree OGF, it shouldn't be allowed.

However, I think I may have found a gigantic hole or two in the above DM page ....

If you google Black Lives Matter/BLM/BLMUK

you come across https://www.blacklivesmatter.uk/

where it's stated

*IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR VISITORS:

WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED TO THE ACTIVIST COALITION USING:

Twitter @ukblm

Instagram @blmuk

We DO NOT have a gofundme page. They do.

THE UKBLM COALITION DO NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE TO DIRECT YOU TO.

For information on BLM protest you need to contact @ukblm or other BLM coalitions, groups to preferred area directly.
So I don't know what to believe, what is "official". The above notice is contradictory (?).

There's a Wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter saying https://blacklivesmatter.com/ is their website, but that site has no mention or Link to any British arm.

Re: Aims of BLM

I would be weary of any instant popup organisations who ever they are and claim to support. You will always get the destructive element in all of them , their only thinking is "you have we want and we take" .
