BLM leader calls whites "subhumans"

[Bakery Hill]

There may have been incidental benefits gained by Kenya as a result of occupation, but colonialism was never "charitable". Empires occupied colonies for their own gain, generally to the detriment of the colony.

At some times that was true, e.g. I wouldn't argue that the 18th century East India Company was in the charity business. But late 19th century imperialism in Africa was mostly charitable. What did Britain, the world's greatest industrial power, get out of ruling a sparse population of peasant farmers who would have looked unbelievably primitive even to the Romans? We taxed away part of their straw huts? Abolishing of slavery isn't an incidental but a massive benefit.

You're never going to get your money chief.

Oh no, a leader a co-leader of a local chapter of the black equivalent to the KKK a super racist BLM chapter just proved to be racist, color me how so very surprised!

Fixed for accuracy

I don't care about the money - but I do care about the principle. Those who say imperialism was bad slander the memory of tens of thousands of noble imperialists.

Good. They were scum.

Yes, the article is subjective, and your personal distaste for the accomplishments listed is duly noted.

Here are some more accomplishments.

Murder is up. And Blacks are overwhelming and disproportionately the victims.
Police killings a only extremely tiny, statistically insignificant number of those killed.
BLM is ironically encouraging more blacks to die.

Police are not perfect, and mistakes should be addressed. But the also save black lives too. Something BLM seems to forget. And not even care about.

What?

[Wallenburg]

I expect it would be done by statutory enactment or executive order

This person is in Canada, so I'm not sure what kinda of executive power the Canadian PM has, but a presidential executive order in the United States outlawing an entire organization based on the views and opinions of particular members would be totally unconstitutional and therefore illegal. Having unsavory opinions isn't against the law.

You are under the incorrect assumption that IM cares what the Constitution says.

I think they are also under the incorrect assumption that Donald Trump cares what the Constitution says as well.

Martin Luther King Junior fought and died for equality and this idiot is tearing apart what Martin Luther King Junior fought for.

"Sub-Human" "Genetic Defects"

Did she go to school? Whites are a direct cause of the fact that their ancestors lived in Europe, a place that doesn't get as much sun as Africa.

Why do people even listen to this girl at this point? She is obviously not that greatly educated if she thinks Whites are genetic defects.

According to her logic, people with different color hair are sub-human, because they were made to adapt to their "Environment"

Black Lives Matter has become the black KKK.

Black Lives Matter has become the black KKK.

Personally I love the statement about "Klan with a tan".

It's a shame that an extremist minority is destroying the image of the movement. Most members of it have a good message and goal, but corrupted by hypocritical racists.

A very powerful minority at that, with her being the leader of the BLM.

It's like if the Worker Union for bankers was leaded by a Stereotypical Jewish person.

[Engleberg]

Make that three, sir.

I understand your reasoning but why? Don't you like having a say in government?

In democracies, you do not have a say regardless.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but it wasn't the leader of BLM. It was a co-founder of the Toronto Chapter.

Still a slightly powerful minority, but not huge.

[Atlanticatia]

I don't think this is news. It was a wrong comment to make, and she should not be in that position. It is not representative of the Black Lives Matter movement one bit nor is it worthwhile to discuss or debate these comments as if they're relevant and representative of BLM.

But if you switch the races MSM and quite a lot of people here would have a field day saying the exact opposite of what you said

I called that phone back in 2015. Glad someone finally picked up.

Because if a KKK leader said it it's news since that's what the KKK stands for. Context is important -- there are no major black supremacist organisations in existence that have a platform but there are numerous white nationalist/white supremacist organisations with a platform. White supremacism is alive and well, black supremacism is not. That's why it gets covered in the media, because it's actually happening.

[Gauthier]

A leader of a regional branch spews racist talk, ergo the whole organization is terrorist and must be disbanded and blacks need to STFU and show respect to police even if they happen to be innocent. Great chain of logic.

[UniversalCommons]

I thought it was the Bureau of Land Management at first.

And she was calling the Bundinistas "Subhuman". Sounds humorous.

[Singularity Multiversal Travel Empire]

BLM Canada seems more radical than the American franchise. why is it so? At least in Canada they have no reason to complain.

Because only Canadian radical black people would be incentivized to form a branch anyway.
