I just thought I would highlight the best comments in this thread from an actual BLM member and new UT user BlackLivesMatterJeff. I thought he was a troll at first too, but now I think he is just ignorant.
...
"
We’ll talk rationally when the police stops committing genocide on innocent young black men."
"The prison system is full of innocent young black men who were pretty much labelled “criminal” from their youth but I think we should replace them and put racists there instead.
Racism should be made illegal and the offenders punished with jail time."
"Ever since Islam was founded over 1000 years ago it has been continuously oppressed by imperialistic white Christians even though
their followers were peaceful and non-aggressive."
"Before the latter half of the 20th century
Muslims NEVER tried to bother Christians nor invade Christian dominated countries and for that they were oppressed."
"
Before like the 1950s and 1960s Muslims were peaceful and never did anything to Europeans but after centuries of oppression they decided to raise up against their oppressors. Boo hoo!"
"Here's a fact: more black men are killed by cops weekly than the so-called France terror attacks. Why does society not talk about that?"
"White people have an advantage that black people don't. Whites live in houses in the suburbs and blacks are in housing projects. Sorry but being in a crime ridden building infested with bed bugs doesn't cut it even if it is "government funding".
The rich should be taxed at over 90 % and the income should be redistributed to disadvantaged minorities."
"Society is set up in such a way that is breeding poverty towards black people which breeds violence and hence the killing of black men by other black men. Nonetheless it's not the fault of the black men.It's society that makes them that way and therefore
whenever a black person kills another black person, a rich white man should go to jail as well for making this happen. The black man may have literally pulled the trigger but
the fault lays more with the white man since he made society like that."
"Well it's only fair to jail rich white men that have arranged society in such a matter that makes black men kill each other!"
"
The same white Christians that invented slavery!"
"Nazis like Trump and Harper should therefore be excluded from the voting ballot including their fascist parties."
"And no I didn't say jail ALL white men! Like I said the Open Society Foundations helps us and funds us! But
I say jail the rich privilege whites that are organizing this system and opposing Black Lives Matter!"
"I was born white but I rid myself of white privilege symbolically."
"LOL @ the majority of Americans killed by the police being white. Another racist BS "fact'."
"You are either with us or against us. You either support Black Lives Matter or you are a racist."
...
If Black Lives Matter really wants to be treated seriously they are going to have to stop saying stupid things. If white Christians invented slavery why were the Jews slaves to the Egyptians thousands of years before the birth of Christ? If Muslims were peaceful and non-agressive why did they kidnap and enslave Europeans and Africans? Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates. (The concept of a source may have to explained to BlackLivesMatterJeff.) Not to mention what the Ottoman Empire did during and after World War 1.
Of course throughout history both Muslims and Christians have treated each other horribly.
I can admit that white privilege exists, but so what, black privilege exists, Canadian privilege exists, driving privileges exist, etc. It is not the be all and end all, in fact it is just used as an insult. The colour of ones skin doesn't not determine how life will be. I can also admit that some cops might kill a black person because they are scared of them. Cops kill plenty of white people too in fact more white people than black people were killed by police in the USA over the past two years. Here is the source:

Police are not committing genocide against black people. If BLM wants to be taken seriously they have to stop saying stupid stuff and stop lying. The majority of Canadians do not take you seriously and they won't until you change.
