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.
