Black Lives Matter (more)
Additions to the page on
Black Lives Matter.
I like to keep the original page more or less untouched.
- The Missing Data Depot, April 2022, lays out the stats about racism in the US:
- Racism has massively declined in the US.
As measured by polls about do you support interracial marriage,
would you vote for a black President,
do you support white and black students in the same schools, and so on.
A massive, massive decline in racism.
- At the same time, discussion of racism has massively increased in the US.
Claims of systemic racism have massively increased.
Claims of unconscious racism have massively increased.
Can anyone explain it?
Maybe humans are, and bear with me on this, not very logical.

The Good News They Won't Tell You About Race in America,
by Wilfred Reilly, Apr 2021.
- Poll, Apr 2022.
Crime is the no.1 concern for black adults.
-
Not racism. Not police.
Crime.
See the chart.

Comment:
"It's hard to imagine any other concern so important to .. black Americans .. that white progressives would be not only be in denial about
but actively work to worsen with simplistic #defund police BS."

It is absolutely insane that, years on from the George Floyd BLM hysteria, no journalist has ever interviewed
George Floyd's victim
Aracely Henriquez.
The full bodycam video of the arrest and death of George Floyd, May 2020.
The bodycam video shows the unending stream of bullshit and gibberish from George Floyd from the moment he sees the police.
He is clearly out of his head on drugs.
The police failed in their duty to take a drugged up, violent aggressive man alive.
Not an easy job, but it is their job.
- I am not sure I ever met someone in real life who actually watched this video.
- For instance, ask someone complaining about George Floyd:
How come the passenger in the car did not end up on the ground?
Very basic question.
Yet I have never met anyone who can answer it.
This is what brave police have to face everywhere, but especially in a country with guns.
A Pennsylvania traffic stop in 2017.
The driver would not cooperate and suddenly opened fire.
He critically injured a cop but did not kill him.
He was
sentenced to 55 to 110 years in prison in 2018.
The "gentle giant"
RTE ran a ludicrous story calling
a violent home invader a "gentle giant".
I thought I would fix it.
Irish state TV
RTE
describes the armed home invader as a "gentle giant", 20 Apr 2021.
I fixed it.
OK. In fairness, describing him as a "violent giant" does not sound as good!
Black Lives Matter, Instagram,
Christmas 2021, shows they are Marxist, conspiracy-theory, racist nutcases.
They call on people to
"buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses".
They
say that:
"White-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life".
Any old racist conspiracy theories are acceptable on the BLM Instagram, it seems.
The "Black Lives Matter" movement always hated Israel.
BLM UK
in May 2021
promoted a
genocidal slogan against the Jews of Israel.
After the barbaric
Hamas massacre of over 1,000 Jews in Oct 2023,
"Black Lives Matter" came out openly
as a racist antisemitic hate group
that promotes the killing of Jews.
Not an exaggeration.
It is what they say.
Hamas used paragliders to land their terrorists in Israel and begin the massacre in Oct 2023.
BLM Chicago

this support for them.
After uproar, the racist lowlifes deleted their tweet.
BLM Chicago

BLM UK is a racist antisemitic hate group who no decent person should have anything to do with.
BLM Grassroots

A good
reply
to Black Lives Matter's support for the killing of black people.
Getting away from the stats about police shootings,
what do inter-racial crime stats in general look like in the US?
Violent crime stats from the
National Crime Victimization Survey.
This is Table 14 of
Criminal Victimization, 2018, Bureau of Justice Statistics.
It is only an estimate (a good estimate, but only an estimate) of violent crime in the year,
and who did it.
"Offender race/ethnicity is based
on victims' perceptions of offenders."
Focusing only on
inter-racial crime, and excluding Asians (for whom stats are very low), we get:
- Black-on-white: 547,948
- Black-on-Hispanic: 112,365
- White-on-black: 59,778
- White-on-Hispanic: 207,104
- Hispanic-on-white: 365,299
- Hispanic-on-black: 44,551
This meme got a lot of attention in 2023 when Elon Musk promoted it.
Many people furiously screamed that it was fake.
But as we see, the data comes from above and is accurate.
Original source of meme unknown.
The meme is really about the media.
Humans prefer narratives to facts.
The job of the media should be to force facts in our face. But
the media prefers narratives too.
The US media helps Americans form a distorted view of crime and violence.
Here is a perfect illustration.
In April 2023, a white man in Missouri shot a black teen
for going to the wrong door,
and a black man in North Carolina shot a white child and her parents
for a ball rolling into his yard.
And here is how the media covered the two stories.

The first Black Lives Matter wave led to 2K extra black homicides - but new wave will be worse.
Heather Mac Donald,
July 3, 2020.
An early prediction that turned out to be spot on.

BLM Spreads Falsehoods That Have Led to the Murders of Thousands of Black People in the Most Disadvantaged Communities.
Zac Kriegman, written in May 2021.
This detailed and fact-rich post led to the author being fired.
Which kind of sums up how the BLM cult does argument and debate.

BLM led to resignations of cops across America,
leading to more deaths.
Article, November 23, 2021.
"Today there are fewer police officers per capita in America than at any time since 1992.
In 2020, the homicide rate increased on average by more than one-third in America's 57 largest cities.
...
Some blamed the coronavirus pandemic, and higher gun sales, which rose in March. But homicides in 2020 only started to rise in June, after Black Lives Matter protests, not March.
...
If anti-police protests increase homicides, why do groups like Black Lives Matter do it? Because they are after radical system change, not less violence."
- The deadly consequences of Defund the Police, Brendan O'Neill, 12 Feb 2022.
"Remember 'Defund the Police'?
...
This slogan has proven lethal. It has been an unmitigated disaster in numerous US cities.
...
Oakland in California .. took the post-Floyd anger of 2020 to heart and made plans to cut police spending by a whopping 50 per cent .. Then the killings started. And other forms of crime. In 2020 there were 107 murders in Oakland, compared with 75 in 2019. ...
There have been similar rises in violence in other American cities that have planned or actually made cuts to police budgets."
- A requiem for Black Lives Matter, Wilfred Reilly, 20 Sept 2022.
"Black Lives Matter had few, if any, positive impacts. Police violence is down slightly, if at all, while overall crime in BLM-affected areas has sky-rocketed back to 1990s levels.
... a quick and negative summary of the effects of BLM comes immediately to mind: Black Lives Matter got a lot of black people killed."

Article, 23 June 2021:
Traffic deaths increased among black people in 2020 more than any other race.
Probably after BLM reduced traffic stops.
BLM got a lot of
black people killed in both homicides and accidents.
From article:
Massive increase in Black Americans murdered was result of defund police movement,
April 19, 2022.
Massive increase in both homicides of blacks
and fatal traffic accidents for blacks
since the George Floyd summer of anti-police hysteria.
BLM got thousands of black people killed.

Baltimore police officer Keona Holley
was murdered in Dec 2021.
She was assassinated sitting alone in her patrol car at 1:30 a.m. in southern Baltimore.
The "Black Lives Matter" narrative does not have room for the life of Keona Holley.
The "All Lives Matter" approach does.
