If you’re there to “make your voice heard” in a situation where you know your voice is not being considered when relevant decisions come to mind then you’re gonna end up being there for the vibes

And that’s the reality unfortunately.

This thread proves who really just love massa

That cycle always gon happen, but imagine if these events the last decade didn't happen how much worse it would be. At least they're making slow improvements with mandatory body cams and putting fear in these cops.

But with those protests we’ve seen some police departments start doing things differently so that’s a start. People saying the other option is violence and while I do see the vision, it’s not the best thing for the overall message.

So you acknowledge BLM as an organization was kind of focused on sensationalizing police brutality.

I know every community has an org that can organize protest but its also again as I have mentioned before as someone who has covered these protest and picked people up from the police station only so effective

Police beat kids teens and adults here in Chicago for walking in circles and charged them with felony mob action. Put them in Jail for 24 hours or more sometimes. For walking in circles or chanting.

They raised the bridges here in Chicago to protect the wealthy class from others.

Things that got the most reaction from police and change in Chicago had nothing to do with BLM

Organized looting, attempting to tear the columbus statue down.

The way we protest has to change because in the camera lens the media is going to demonize us either way.

BLM as an organization AND as a slogan doesnt do enough. Matter is the bare minimum so of course when the slogan was coined and marketed other races were going to say "wait we matter too"

Yes I know white lives matter was coined more reactionary and often utilized by racist but Asian lives Matter wasn't and other instances. There are white victims of police brutality as well. Yes I know lower numbers but they exist. Point being when you are making a slogan or organnization yes we do suffer intensely in america and the world but you want to bring people together

They make us all into statistics, black ink, obituaries especially in covid era. Be it sanctions, war, police brutality, poverty, homelessness. Any time a group of white men feel they must face their privilege in anyway shape or form this cycle is inevitable

This nigga makin me actually sick to my stomach man . I’m actually starting tohate this man . I never in my life thought I would

Ye really got some of y’all defending WLM as a “basic truth.” I really need y’all to take a step back and consider that you may be being ridiculous.

Idk the argument all the way

But I can say in my city (high black population metropolitan city) there were a lot of heads out there for vibes

But I don’t kno how niggas using that to defend Ye, jus cuz u don’t like BLM don’t mean wear a white lives matter shirt

You say some stupid s***, I can't let it go unchecked

Dam

you think ppl just stopped working against police brutality?

this the problem with folks, just because it’s not broadcasted yall think there aren’t real people going through this s*** and fighting against it on the daily

BLM movement been around way before 2020 but now it’s no longer on socials yall think the actual communities have stopped. I’m from Chicago & I can tell you ppl are going against police brutality daily it seems. I would suggest getting involved in your local community if you honestly don’t think ppl are working towards change. A lot of them still support BLM the movement

I am saying again saying BLM as an organization is a scam isn't false. There are many organizations in Chicago I know people leading them that do infinitely more for the community than BLM with exponentially less money no catchy slogan and not as many connections.

Thats all I am saying. Protest aren't entirely useless but they definitely mentally, financially, spirtually wear out people on the front lines. yes we make progress but I imagine (would have to check numbers) police brutality and deaths are STILL HAPPENING under Biden they just aren't being reported in the mainstream media to the same degree because the mainstream media partially used BLM and BLM used citizens like us to stoke a race war enough to set up the election as they will likely do again.

Got dam this s*** crazy rn

If you from Chicago then you know like I do that BLM as an organization doesn't help the community as much as other orgs so people calling it a scam isnt that bad

He also a billionaire eh

Nah I am focused on the fact that he is accusing white men of killing Virgil

I've always believed in the back of my head that Arnault killed Virgil. It was very clear by Project Maybach that Abloh wanted to extend beyond LVMH and his sudden demise always stuck out to me as an anomaly since 60% of his company was sold to LVMH before his death. Virgil was put on the Board shortly after and was already becoming a bigger household name than any designer I think I've seen since Ye; it's possible Nicholas Guhessquire and Arnault saw that as a threat, and "rare cancer no one knew about" being the cause stood out considering that it would be such a conveniently niche disease to blame a death on, like no one would question cancer being so sudden, unlike other ailments.

The organization itself has always been known to be inconsistent amongst other things

The movement itself is not a scam and the message is clear and valid

I don't know. I might be done with him. Can't continue defending this clown s***.

BLM being a scam isn’t debatable but Kanye still an idiot for wearing that sweater and promoting a white supremacist phrase

he acsussed multiple white men of killing Virgil and y'all are STILL TAKING THE SHIRT LITERALLY

Virgil died of cancer

Is this a copypasta

Don’t matter, when u got influence u have to be cautious about your decision making
