Word ✊🏾
For the next time, someone counters “Black Lives Matter” with “All Lives Matter”
Blacklivesmatter is just setting fire to the whites house and then putting itself out. Its not helping anything just to help one and help the others by fighting fire with fire.
Incorrect. Maybe read up on BLM sometime.
Maybe think about how fighting racism and advocating for equality isn’t fighting fire with fire.
What about all the racism towards whites? Being triggered over whites (quite literally from the blm) isn’t just plain racist? But if I say I’m triggered and offended by blacks I’m racist (and I’m not white!)? And don’t give me the “bLaC mOre oPpressed” bullshit it’s racist to hate anyone over their color. The only race that’s better than others is the human race. And also I live in a neighborhood were if those two houses were that close and one caught on fire the neighborhood goes down.
Read up on BLM. It’s not “Being triggered over whites”, it’s fighting against police brutality against POC. Not a hard concept.
Relative to white people, black people are more oppressed. That’s not subjective.
The blm has no clue what it’s doing anymore admit it. Wow pulling out the police brutality card? Black people make up the minority being less than 20% of America and yet make up 85% of crimes it’s really that simple.That isn’t a number just made up by evìL pOlice it’s a fact. While I don’t say that all brutality is just, it’s not without reason. Also maybe you should read up on this website http://www.americannaziparty.com :)
Yeah no I’m not looking up blm
I didn’t pull any card, BLM is literally anti police brutality and anti racism.
Back up your stats or you’re just shitposting.
Go right ahead and try to get a source, I wonder if it’ll be as predictable as the last time someone tried this shit. ( F 2013 B charged I )
Of course brutality has a reason, that reason is Racism.
Out of the two of us, you’re the one who comes across as more sympathetic to the American Nazi party. Good job there.
No I lean towards the right not the left (Nazis are left wing dipshit). Also that argument is like “Stalin was a great guy compared to hitler”
Thank you @cantdeceivephenax for trying your best to educate this person. Here’s some more information since there’s difficulty grasping the concept.
First of all, racism towards whites cannot exist because according to the definition of racism, how can the minority (PoC) believe that they’re the superiority when they’re literally called the minority. Yeah, prejudice exists among the races but it’s impossible for black people to be racist towards whites.
Second of all, blacks have been and still are oppressed, so if you do not see that, you’re apart of the problem. There is something such as white privilege, please read up on it.
Third of all, yes blacks make up less than 20% of the population in America (about 12-13%), however, they make up 36-37% of the incarcerated while PoC (blacks & hispanics) make up 56% of the incarcerated. I’m not sure if you pay attention to the recent news, but it has been published that white on white crimes are about 4 times higher than black on white crimes. Most violent crimes are committed by people who are the same races as their victims. It is a known fact that white supremists frequently like to manipulate crime statistics in order to claim nonwhite minorities, particularly blacks, are far more crime-prone and are the source of most violent crime against whites. The study conducted by BJS demonstrates that this is simply not the case.
I recommend reading “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander to learn more about mass incarceration in America and how it’s affecting the black community. It also sheds a light on color blindness and how it contributes to racism.
To sum it up, BLM is a very necessary movement especially in this day and age. If you somehow still find reason to disagree, I am more than willing to help you grasp these concepts. @holyrocker
Impact of BLM on Millennials
The Black Lives Matter movement started in 2012 and it has influenced social media to push the movement for black lives into mainstream conversation. Many activists rely heavily on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to organize protests, connect with like-minded people, and amplify underrepresented voices. Interestingly enough, the shooting death of Korryn Gaines, a black woman whose livestream of her standoff with Baltimore police officers which was posted to gain awareness of police brutality was taken down by Facebook.
Social media is used as a way to monitor activists working to end police brutality and is a necessary part of the police repression that is so ubiquitous in the United States. Social media gives people an opportunity to speak out and steer the national news narrative. However, activists should be concerned about the government collecting data on social media platforms because let’s not forget about what happened to Fred Hampton.

Impact of BLM on Millennials
Social media provides an alternative space to cultivate ideas and spread awareness. When someone points out the mistreatment of a certain group of people, especially if it's a celebrity, pertaining to mostly minority people, society begins to realize their flaws and what needs to be fixed especially because civil rights affect everyone.

Impact of BLM on Millennials
Social upheavals have often fostered a sense of solidarity among those who have been affected. Social media has been critical in the knitting together of a national narrative of police violence and abuse. In the past, these incidents were depicted as isolated and individual. However in today’s day and age, social media platforms have shown how these incidents are part of a generalised and pervasive pattern of police abuse.

Impact of BLM on Millennials
The opinions of young white Americans are changing and it is most likely a result of police brutality in the news. Social media is also such an important platform for the movement because it spreads the much needed awareness that makes it hard for anyone to deny that there is a problem with police brutality. What we’re currently seeing is that as young white adults are presented with more and more causes of the police acting unlawfully, there is an increased support for the Black Lives Matter movement

BLM on Facebook
As you may have figured, the Black Lives Matter Movement also exists on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlackLivesMatter/ On there, they post the same content that you can find on their other social media accounts. What makes Facebook different than the other social media platforms is that they offer a Facebook Live feature, where users can make a live broadcast.
On July 6, 2016, Diamond Reynolds used Facebook Live to record her boyfriend, Philando Castile, encounter with the police. The police pulled them over because his brake lights were out. However, within 40 seconds, the police officer shot at Castile seven times which resulted in his death. Reynolds used Facebook Live to record the immediate aftermath of the police shooting of Castile. Facebook temporarily removed the video after it hit 1 million views, which they claim was because of a “technical glitch”, but other media reports suggest otherwise. Although the Constitution protects people’s right to record police officers in the public discharge of their duties, it does not necessarily protect one’s right to share these videos and can result in censorship. We need to remember that social media platforms ultimately control our ability to share images that fuel the Black Lives Matter Movement because they can choose to censor and/or remove our speech, images and videos. The fight for racial equity in the media is often a fight against media monopoly, especially when these companies are white-owned and operated.
Here are a few questions to think about next time you are on Facebook or any other social media platform. “Will police demand that Facebook cover up potential abuses that witnesses have recorded and then shared on the platform, even when there is no real risk of immediate harm? And how will it respond when the risk of harm comes from police violence itself? Shouldn’t our right to record such interactions with law enforcement include our right to share these recordings with others?”

BLM on Twitter
It’s no surprise that the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter is most visible on Twitter. The site published a list of the most used hashtags related to social causes and two of the top three (#Ferguson & #BlackLivesMatter) were directly related to issues of race. Many activists use and promote hashtags to unify the black community and show solidarity. Here’s a of the few interesting trends that researchers came across:
The day after a NY grand jury decided not to indict police officers in the death of Eric Garner on December 4, 2014, #BlackLivesMatter appeared 189,210 times in one day.
On October 13, 2015 when Senator Bernie Sanders defended the Black Lives Matter movement and denounced institutional racism, the hashtag appeared more than 127,000 times on Twitter the following day as users voiced their support for Sanders.
After the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, the hashtag appeared 120,067 times on August 9, 2015 and 98,518 times the next day.
Researchers also found six big “recurring communities” that talked about police violence and brutality. This included:
Black Lives Matter: a movement of activists and organizers who call for systemic change
Anonymous and BiPartisan Report: left-leaning hacktivist collectives
Black entertainers: celebrities who were vocally in support of the movement
Mainstream news organizations covering the stories
"Young black Twitter": young black people discussing the news
Conservatives who were vehemently in opposition to the movement
There were also a few other hashtags that were used in conjunction with #blacklivesmatter such as #handsupdontshoot, #icantbreathe, #justiceforall, and hashtags that were the names of the victims murdered by police. On the other hand, rivals of #blacklivesmatter used hashtags such as #alllivesmatter, #pantsupdontloot and #bluelivesmatter. This shows the ignorance of those who oppose the BLM movement because they do not understand the purpose of the movement and the reasoning behind it.
Here’s the official Twitter Page of the Black Lives Matter Movement https://twitter.com/blklivesmatter?lang=en
