Black Lives Matter Movement!!!!

Folks are talking about BlackLivesMatter movement, mostly negative stuff from outliers, blacks who are uninformed, whites who are uninformed. American History has dictated anything to try and empower black lives, or for us to make progress gets squashed down. It happens by jealous of a made up story(Black Wall Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921), fear(Civil Rights Movement and Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X), or just downright cowardly attacks and murders(Black Panther Movement and Assassination of Fred Hampton). Now BlackLivesMatter is getting attacked on social media because you see two Marchers in one rally out of thousands shouting for attacks on the police. There's a perception that the BlackLivesMatter movement does not care about black on black crime? That is not the case and is disingenuous to say or think that, the movement has their hands in a lot of things trying to better the lives of black people. Also this AllLivesMatter movement is totally racist because "all" lives are not getting shot down unarmed by the police. It frankly is insulting and pathetic that someone would come up with that to try and devalue the BlackLivesMatter movement. Richard Sherman yesterday made comments referring to AllLivesMatter, now he's an intelligent brotha who has come along way from the streets of Compton,California to be very successful for sure. I think though he has not read or investigated the movement enough and you can tell from his comments. So while I'm cool with him using his platform to speak up(lord knows more athletes should do so), I think he needs to have some discussion with the leaders of the BlackLivesMatter movement before assuming what they are or not doing. Also most folks seem to quickly forget history as this was done to devalue the Black Panther Party. The biggest threat the Black Panther Party posed was not the self defense and arming ourselves, it was the free lunch programs which gave Blacks Empowerment. See the real issue is the white establishment does not want us empowered in anyway. This means using our brains,getting us to see that killing each other does nothing for us, getting an education, knowing our TRUE history instead of the ones shoved down our throats in school which most of it is false, and many more things to keep us a permanent underclass. Black folks we need to stop crapping on things that we are trying to do empower ourselves, it does nothing but damage what we are trying to do. Now if there is a disagreement try and have dialogue with the leaders of the organization and bounce ideas off each other to STRENGTHEN BlackLivesMatter instead of getting on television and embarrassing yourself and the Black race by tearing each other down. This is called the Willie Lynch Syndrome and if you don't know what it is: look it up. We need to make ourselves more informed before opening our mouths and spouting off nonsense, use our brain not our emotions. Hence we will be more productive and Black folks can rise to where we are supposed to be in this society. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud and this does not conversely mean we hate white people, it's about empowerment for ourselves as a people. That is my rant for today, God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.
