I am a little disappointed that some here are still angry with BLM or faulting 90 days of looting,burning, vandalism, assault and murder to them.
I am not sure who is the useful idiot of who but .. come on guys .. look at all the video, look at the tens of thousands of still images. This is by and large a group of disaffected young WHITE people. They latched on to the BLM cause ... only because it was a cause but these are the same idiots that were at occupy wall street. At that event they had a whole series of wants and needs being expressed.
Signs to save the whales, signs for transgender, climate change .. just a whole lot of spoiled shits with no clear agenda bent on change without knowing what they wanted to change or how change might look.
Then came the knee on the neck ... and was born a rallying point for young whites disgruntled about everything and nothing. The product of umbrella parents and to much protection.
So is antifa the useful idiots of the BLM movement or is it the other way around. BLM is getting more atention then it ever could have hoped for and every elected hero is desperately trying to find kente cloth and making desperate attempts at appeasement but .. the Blacks arent burning down Portland and they are not harassing people having dinner at a restaurant. So they win and they dont even need to show up.
Antifa has a cause now instead of it being a lost group of basement dwellers so they win.
Continuing to call this BLM in my estimation diminishes what is going on. African Americans are still a fairly small minority in the country. This is not about "those uppity blacks complain'in" This is far larger and far more dangerous.
I grew up in the "hood" tell ya what .. most of the hood rats I knew wouldnt have been able to figure out how to pull down a public sculpture if I had handed them written instructions.
In my humble estimation .. the knee on the neck and a few other incidents would have met with a day or two of riots and looting and been over if it weren't for
Antifa .. From what I can tell .. a predominately white, educated, left wing, coddled mess who for some reason (upbringing) think they are owed something without having to work for it and are appropriating some other groups anger for their own needs. I will wager 80% of these white young people protesting daily for black lives didnt even have a single black friend. They were like all cult followers and just needed a cause.
Best thing to know when getting ready for battle is who the enemy is .. I have no strong feelings about or for BLM .. but you might be pointing in the wrong direction if you are looking for targets.
In the end .. I guess it doesnt matter .. in this continuing quest for "Equal"
I just think if you get caught throwing moltovs, destroying property, closing public streets and generally breaking the law ... you need to have a night stick placed squarely on the side of your head and when you wake up in the hospital you find out you are charged with felonies ... and it doesn't matter what color you are or what cause you support. Your not BLM or Antifa or the munchkins .. your just a piece of $hit criminal.
