You can't make demands if you don't have something the oppressor needs. With the influx of mexicans black people are expendable in america. And if the demands are not met they don't have an army that's going to force anyone's hand and they dont have a united black front that could do damage with boycotting. I said all of that to say this....they wasted their keystrokes. -

But those are very true. How can you not take into account those things? -
Meanwhile in Washington....

Too late

t/s if i'm not mistaken you are referring to “A Vision For Black Lives: Policy Demands For Black Power, Freedom, and Justice”...
Over 50 Black Organizations Released A Joint Platform That Goes Beyond Police Reform
The groups present detailed suggestions for tackling systemic racism.

WASHINGTON ― A collective of over 50 black activist organizations released a detailed policy platform on Monday outlining a plan to “advance black liberation” that includes education reform, reparations and abolition of the death penalty.
“A Vision For Black Lives: Policy Demands For Black Power, Freedom, and Justice” has 40 policy priorities, six platform demands and a set of key solutions all aiming to end the “war on black people.” Spearheading the initiative is The Movement for Black Lives, a combination of grass-roots organizations advocating for black rights.
“A Vision for Black Lives” follows in the footsteps of Campaign Zero, a separate platform released last year that focuses on police violence, though policing is not its only concern. It also takes the proposed reforms a step further than the racial and criminal justice sections of the 2016 Democratic platform, by offering more detailed suggestions for tackling systemic racism based on discussions with black activists and community members.
“Our grievances and solutions extend beyond the police killing of our people; state violence includes failing schools that criminalize our children, dwindling earning opportunities, wars on our trans and ? family that deny them of their humanity, and so much more,” Montague Simmons of the Organization for Black Struggle and the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) Policy Table said in a statement. “That’s why we united, with a renewed energy and purpose, to put forth a shared vision of the world we want to live in.”
Groups collaborating on this initiative include the Alliance for Educational Justice, Baltimore Bloc, the Black Lives Matter Network, Black Women’s Blueprint, Black Youth Project 100, BlackBird, the Center for Media Justice, the Dream Defenders and the Philadelphia Student Union ― to name a few.
The inspiration for the platform grew out of the demands issued by activists in Ferguson, Missouri, following the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014 and the 2015 National Convening of the Movement for Black Lives, the M4BL said in the release.

I thought Black Lives Matter's website was www.blacklivesmatter.com ?
Are you sure this is from the same organization ? -

You stay in the corner and stay silent whenever someone makes these posts but you think passive-aggressively insulting facts that can't refute makes you seem smart
Smh at all these supposed "black" people on this forum that literally defend and support white supremacy

yea but wouldnt all those organizations fall under the blm umbrella? -

Because he's a white supremacist -
I don't expect the system to change for the benefit of the disenfranchised. What we need to do is put the focus on ourselves and start building with each other. Get a self sustained economy and reform our education system where good black teachers is teaching black kids.

george soros is not bank rolling blm
it was just a rumor that started on conservative blogs because he and hilary clinton share strong ties
plus there is no way to directly fund an amorphous movement like blm, even if he wanted to
not even going to address the rest -

The "movement for black lives" and "black lives matter" are the same thing?
? i thought all that fell under BLM.... -
Like I said in the other thread, ignore black feminists, they are also white supremacists and they will steer black people wrong every time, because that's their job
Whoever funds an organization sets the policy. Whoever is funding BLM has set a LGBT/single mother policy, so black people have no place in that group -

The Black Lives Matter movement is amorphous and consists of dozens of organizations
The organization Black Lives Matter (that owns the domain blacklivesmatter.com) isn't amorphous at all

I dunno about that
as of yet the organization has no structure or hierarchy ...well at least as far as I know
regardless, there is no substantive proof that the three ladies that coined the phrase blm and that own the domain blacklivesmatter.com share ties with soros or any of his organizations
