re: Kevin Gates destroys Black Lives Matter

Another terrible rebuttal from team BLM. Does this somehow change the fact that BLM is a racial pile of shite? No it doesn't.

I'll bite. You're exactly right, "we" didn't like him back then but now we do. So now what?

There are people who still despise Michael Vick, even after he turned his life around.

Then it sucks to be them. What else can you do? Not a damned thing. It's their life that will be lived miserable and mad.

he made an effort to change after he got released back into society, 5 years ago. Where were y'all then?


Fact of the matter is y'all are using a person of colors opinion (who's Puerto Rican more than he's morrocon btw) to some how assert your opinion on a movement that is attempting to promote equality (Even if a lot of people who tote around BLM misuse the message).


It's the "well the guy we think is black said it so it must be right" mentality.

But in other cases he's just a "dumbass rapper" to most of you on this board.

harassment and sometimes death seemingly only by the color of their skin. Now, you can look at the evidence of each case; case by case; and make your own determinations by whom was right or wrong in each one; but that still doesn't negate that BLM is trying to stand up for some unlawful injustices that have been committed.

Yeah ok. It still should be lives matter. They are bringing race and color of skin into it. And Gates is probably right. Guy sold drugs, he put himself in circumstances to be treated like a criminal. Doesnt matter the color of his skin.

quote:

---

The problem with what he and many other people say is that they're operating on assumption that the BLM movement is anti-white.

---

I didn't hear him say that at all, nor was it necessarily implied at all. He called into doubt the focus of BLM's energies towards white institutions (my words, not his, but the same groups BLM accuses of oppressing "black lives") as persecutors of "black lives." So he didn't accuse BLM of being anti-white at all, he accused them of being misguided and wrong.

He explicitly stated that he felt the conflicts people are having with the police are more the product of their actions and the manner of their interactions with authority rather than on the basis of their skin color. Again, taking issue with BLM's premises, not accusing them of being anti-white. So, first of all, your entire argument revolves around a false premise, essentially invalidating the remainder of your post outright.

quote:

---

But BLM is a movement standing up for people unjustly harassed and subsequently killed for not being trouble makers

---

So they contend. Others, Kevin Gates included as he explained, disagree with their fundamental premises.

quote:

---

but it is saying that we are a group of individuals that want to stand up for a specific group of individuals experiencing harassment and sometimes death seemingly only by the color of their skin.

---

Seemingly being the operative word. Again, this is the issue.

quote:

---

Now, you can look at the evidence of each case; case by case; and make your own determinations by whom was right or wrong in each one; but that still doesn't negate that BLM is trying to stand up for some unlawful injustices that have been committed.

---

You contradict yourself here. So you acknowledge that people can look at the evidence case by case and legitimately draw different conclusions, and then you end with a statement that presupposes that the conclusions BLM favors are the correct ones.

quote:

---

Does it achieve this end? Perhaps not because of the racists on their side trying to make it an anti-white thing and just being as judgmental and racist as the people they're saying they're against.

---

More presuppositions that of course reinforce your narrative. You've presupposed that those challenging BLM are "racists" and that their argument rests on the idea of BLM being "anti-white." Also, you dismiss the notion that the BLM movement has elements which promote anti-white undertones. Quite presumptive and dubious I would say. I think there is plenty of evidence to illustrate that those people absolutely exist within the so called "movement."

This guy is the man. Seriously watch this video.

Because he is black and said something you agree with?

Kevin Gates is just catering to his crowd, which is mostly white.

For some reason throughout American history. Any kind of positive movement, which bring Blacks together, scares the shite out of people.

Any kind of positive movement, which bring Blacks together,

BLM is positive?

BLM is positive?

Any movement which is based on protecting one's rights as an American citizen. I would call it positive. I might not agree with certain tactics, but it's definitely not negative in my book.

one's rights as an American citizen



*black's 

I mean it is called Black Lives Matter, not All Lives Matter. Don't forget, now.

Are black people not America citizens?
