Op-ed: 

BLM...Separating Truth From Fiction

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio

Recently, President Trump (rightfully) declared the anarchist group Antifa as domestic terrorists, but my question now is can Black Lives Matter (BLM) be far behind. And while I know it's not politically correct to say this...and I know I'll get flack for it...Trump should declare them so for BLM is on par with, if not worse than, Antifa. How so? Antifa wears its hatred for democracy in general and America in specific on its sleeve in full view for all to see, with it's members and followers being somewhat racially diverse thus sharing their hatred for this country equally. On the other hand, the BLM movement is emotionally driven based upon skin color alone and those with their eyes open...both white and black...can see just that for when one's skin color minus the taking of responsibility for one's own actions is at the core of all issues, legitimate or otherwise, one, whether it be an organization or an individual, is indeed racist in nature.

The BLM movement is actually made up of a collective of black organizations and individuals who claim they want to create a united front against racism here in America, but said racism is actually now one-sided as in black hatred for and jealousy of white America. And this can clearly be seen in the organization's platform itself, a platform entitled, "A Vision for Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice"...and it's this title alone with its words, “Demands for Black Power” that should see red flags being waved across our great country for demanding power is akin to both anarchy and insurrection.  

And here I'll give a condensed version of each of the six items comprising the BLM anti-American platform...a platform that makes clear what this movement's true intentions are...starting with demand number one, “End the war on black people.” 
 
Simply, there is no “war” today on black people, the only actual “war” ever fought regarding black people was the “war” to free them. And freed they were by Republican President Abraham Lincoln's “Emancipation Proclamation,” and the Union army's victory in the Civil War. However, some black folks are being put back into chains...albeit mental chains...by the Democrat party, the very party who never wanted slavery to be abolished in the first place. Since being freed the opportunities have always been there for black people, and most blacks have grasped those opportunities and run with them becoming part of the American dream, while others willingly choose to remain chained to the past both with their hands out and their minds set on a dollar amount being put on things they themselves never experienced.

And that leads to platform objective number two, “reparations.” 
 
Reparations in this case means a specific dollar amount is placed upon their ancestors suffering with said amount then being handed over to their descendants. But when it's spoken about by those who were never slaves, “reparations” simply becomes a political concept masquerading as but a caricature of misplaced justice, while at the same time being just Democrats pandering for black votes. And still forgotten...or just being ignored...by today's BLM sorts is that it was black African tribal chiefs who sold their ancestors into slavery. Besides, “reparations” for today's black Americans is itself the epitome of racism because it's based solely upon skin color not upon injuries or injustices personally suffered. Also ignored is that only a small number of white folks owned slaves, while many blacks were actually “free men” who were slave owners themselves. 
 
Translation: some blacks screaming “reparations” the loudest might actually have ancestors who played a part in the injustices of slavery itself...something to think about and then try to make excuses for I'd say. But if truth be told, as it always must be, one cannot have a meaningful discussion regarding past actions let alone put a dollar amount on said actions, and then expect to move forward if there's no dialogue regarding forgiveness along with it.

As for “invest-divest” which is demand number three in the BLM what is a manifesto.

This demand also comes replete with a big dollar sign as its driving engine and remains the calling card of the BLM movement. Now demanding “monetary investments” in what they call the “education, health and safety of black people, instead of investments in the criminalizing, caging, and harming of black people,” is indeed the stuff of pure nonsense. How so? The fact is that no one group of people residing here in the U.S. has ever received more freebies and handouts nor has been catered to or appeased more than those who comprise the “gimme gimme, you owe me” segment of America's black population. Welfare, affirmative action, free or subsidized housing, food stamps, and Medicaid are but a few items their skin color alone has afforded their ungrateful selves, while black miscreants and thugs are turned into heroes by the very sorts who demand “divestment from exploitative forces including prisons, fossil fuels, police, surveillance and exploitative corporations.”

And it's the ever so vocal miscreants and thugs ongoing criminal antics...of which rioting, looting, arson, and murder are prime examples of...who are what's painting the picture that all black folks support BLM's vile actions. Simply, they do not, especially their demand that their black selves be “divested” from all drug related offenses, prostitution charges, and other assorted nasties including even those crimes perpetrated by blacks on other black folks. And this translates into the BLM sorts basically demanding a “get out of jail free” card while continuing to “behave badly.” And let's not forget that BLM is also demanding our government “divest” military expenditures and relocate those monies to domestic infrastructure, “community well-being,” and black cultural needs. But the fact is it's not up to “whitey” nor the government to make angry, unhappy, and lazy black folks feel better about their sorry lot in life at the expense of other Americans who happen not to be black.

Now as for “economic justice,” BLM demand number four. 
 
Basically wanting employment programs that specifically target the "most marginalized black people"... whatever that means...in order to promote what BLM claims would be economic equality on par with whites in relation to “restored land, clean air, clean water and housing and an end to the exploitative privatization of natural resources," simply means funneling the monies used for those items into BLM anarchist type demands. This means “reconstruction of the economy to ensure black communities have collective ownership, not merely access,” which translates into more “free stuff” for black folks who want what you have, already have access to it, but don't want to work nor strive for what they consider to be “stuff” rightfully owed them.

Demand number five sees BLM wanting “community control.”

Here BLM is basically saying that it's they who should control all the comings and goings in black communities...as in “whitey” and the government keep out. Sounds like the muslim “No Go Zones” now doesn't it what with BLM wanting blacks under their auspices to control the laws, institutions, and policies meant to serve blacks alone. They're demanding to be the determining voice regarding school curriculum as well as local, state, and federal budgets. BLM wants to reset law enforcement policy itself....in other words separating black folks from American law and jurisprudence. They want actual control over the hiring and firing of police officers, determining disciplinary actions taken, and the setting of both police budgets and police policy, along with the right to subpoena what they alone consider to be relevant information. If demand number five isn't a form of insurrection than I don't know what is.

And the last of the six BLM demands is for political power...a truly dangerous power if ever secured for BLM's goal is to destabilize America from within, and what better to do so than through politics.

Now demanding “independent black political power and black self-determination” in all areas of society, BLM wants to remake what is our current political system, including our system of checks and balances...into a system where created is what they refer to as a “real democracy”...a democracy where black people and those they call “marginalized people” exercise full political power. This includes but is not limited to the decriminalization of all black political activity along with the immediate release of all black political prisoners, public financing of elections, same day voter registration, voting day holidays, online voting, voting for “undocumented people” (as in illegals), and a ban on what they refer to as “disenfranchisement laws.” In other words, BLM is not only proposing but encouraging voter fraud as a means by which they can gain not only tangible political power but radically shift cultural power as well via their demand to increase funding for what they call “black institutions” and “social formations.” 

Simply and directly, what those in the Black Lives Matter movement want, as per their platform, is complete and total control not only over all black American lives, but for white America to accept that black America will now hold supremacy over them, thus reversing the slave/taskmaster scenario as their means of revenge for sins of the past. These misguided folks now see as their leaders radical black separatists and the political far left, both of whom have now basically declared war on the very nation that not only set black people free, but who have allowed their black skin color alone to afford them privileges that few other non-black Americans will ever be privy to.

And the mainstream media has aided BLM in their radical quest every step of the way by not only not condemning how BLM operates outside the rule of law, but by actually encouraging self-perceived racism to be used to their advantage by the Democrats. And it's the Democrat party who thrives on division and who fully embrace the “racial justice narrative” as a means to not only garner black votes but to use as a political weapon against a president they cannot beat in November.

And this brings me back to the very beginning and the question I posed...will President Trump ever declare Black Lives Matter as a domestic terrorist group as he did with Antifa. My answer...possibly and most probably after the election...an election he will win. 

President Trump is indeed a smart man and he knows BLM has far removed itself from its “supposed” original objective of holding those legally responsible for what they perceived to be the disproportionate amount of black male deaths at the hands of both the police and the “system.” But instead of going through the legal process...as was expected they never would do...BLM has used said deaths simply as a media-hyped tool by which to gain a national voice and push forward what remains of their so-called anything but “racial justice agenda.” 

The Black Lives Matter movement has time and again shown itself to be what it always was...a voice of racism and hate not only directed at the police but at white America and our government as a whole. And when they crossed the line into violence...as in rioting, looting, arson, and calculatingly murdering innocent white folks and the police...BLM like Antifa surely fit the definition of a domestic terrorist group. In fact, the Patriot Act itself states acts of domestic terrorism are those which, "involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States." 

And the actions and truths about Black Lives Matter fits this definition to a tee, making it only a matter of time before our president does what he knows needs to be done, and we can finally put a stop to this BLM nonsense once and for all. And by the way, black lives will truly only matter when all lives...whether they be black, white, brown, yellow, red, or any variation thereof...including blue lives....matter too. Case closed.
