Interesting Perspective On Blm

Any non black that dares to question the methods and noise made by BLM activists is racist. And even in the case of black people, and Esther Krakue is a prime example, questioning it they are also in the frame. They are Uncle Toms, race traitors and any number of ‘you’re not black’ insults. That seems to be the entire premise of their argument against actually...

That article pretty much nails it.
The more BLM voices are raised, the more suspicious and fearful ordinary white people can become.
If I don't agree with them, then I am a racist, not true.
Positive discrimination in favour of BAMEs makes me feel alienated, and this is reinforced when black leaders make racist comments, Dianne Abbott and David Lammy spring to mind.
Then our institutions, like the BBC and police, in pursuit of political correctness, discriminate against whites.
Having diversity forced down our throats is not the way forward.

Why should that be? The main purpose of BLM is to address inequalities that penalise minorities. In itself that is no threat to "ordinary White people". If you're feeling fearful as a response to someone trying to correct a bias, then I assume that means that you think it doesn't -- in which case, it's worth spending more time listening to those who have experienced it. From what I can tell Krakue has been lucky enough not to*, but, as she herself has said, her experiences are her own.
*At least not as part of her day-to-day life. The pushback against her comments makes me angry. How can anyone claim to be anti-racist if their response to somebody with a different opinion is to spout racist abuse? But the response of the troll is not the same as the response of the majority.

It's always nice to have a note of agreement, Naomi :)
Would you care to expand on that, TTT? For example, considering incidents such as these:

How confident are we that the problems that were clear and manifest in the past, and well within the living memory of many of us, are all over now?

That seems to be the entire premise of their argument against actually talking and negotiating. Whites are racist so shouldn’t have a voice. Well in that case every single white activist from whatever political persuasion should step away and let the black population protest. Let the black people fight without the racist white person next to them. But if the Marxist BLM Group want anything they need to get to the table.
But tbh the riots are little to do with BLM. The riots have been hijacked by anarchists bent of destruction of westernised capitalism.

I don't think she is rare indeed . From my experience from asking friends . They feel the same , that is that this is going a bit too far now here in the UK but I feel that the U.S of A has a long way to go and their media has a huge part to play in the fight for racial harmony . this is my opinion.
There is no "only" in this campaign

// "They" have multiple websites.// er, no they don't.
there are various twitter feeds that have "BLM" in their title, likewise there are a number of Facebook pages. one of the named twitter feeds has a GoFundMe page, this is the group that has raised over £1M. but there are no "Black Lives Matter" websites for any UK based group or individual.

Esther Krakue is not as rare as you would think. There's plenty of prominent black people against BLM.
This has me scratching my head.

sorry jim I should have said "the first 2 links are simple deployment of the race card to avoid getting investigated for potential law breaking." - I don't know if there was any actual law breaking. This is the common refrain that, for example, stopping a black motorists is racist regardless of the suspicions of the police officer. White people get stopped all the time too but no complaints there.
//A nurse pulled over by police who drove in front of her in a "hard stop" operation, says she was targeted because of her race.
Police officers stopped Neomi Bennett in 2019 because, they said, her front windows were tinted too dark.//
If she had darkened windows then that is potentially illegal, also, prior to the stop, how did they know she was black anyway?
