Black Lives Matter - Trying to Stay Relevant?

#F***Paris is now trending among Black Lives Matter. They are claiming it's due to Paris's participation in the slave trade 100 years ago.

I would say it's because the attacks in Paris are more important than some pointless protest that has no clear definable goals or actual demands and it's trying to stay relevant.

I caught this trending around on Twitter, too! Apparently a rap song about f*** Paris!

Reason this is posted in news? Because it's likely to be on the television sooner or later on a slow day or something.

#F***BlackLivesMatter.

EDIT: 100 years ago would be 1915. I highly doubt Paris was trading slaves even as it was being shelled by the Germans.

#F***BlackLivesMatter.

If they lay down on a highway in my state, it will be #BlackLivesSplatter.

Not being edgy. My state's just kind of filled with rednecks. :/

While there might be some validity to the whole BLM thing, people, using their name, continue to do dumb shit like this and then wonder why no one goddamn cares about their movement. Face it, BLM, your fifteen minutes of fame are over. Maybe if their little movement had some, you know, control over its own members, that would make people a bit more sympathetic to their plight. But right now, I agree with @NotAKitty. #FuckBlackLivesMatter

History isn't their strong point.

... Intelligence in general isn't their strong point.

If BLM were a Klan mole project to make people seriously not give a shit about black lives, it couldn't be more successful.

It's almost impressive how BLM manage to make themselves look so fucking horrible, whiny, and hypocritical time and time again.

I cannot take this "movement" seriously, and neither can anyone else who hasn't been brainwashed by this bullshit. All they do is whine and "protest" any time something even remotely about black people happens. Of course people care more about the slaughter of 130+ innocents in one of the most beautiful and beloved cities in the entire world, especially when BLM make themselves look like spoiled children when they can't handle anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention to anything other than themselves.

After a first attempt in 1794, France abolished slavery in 1848.

Getting pissy that people are concerned about a terrorist attack?

I think their minds would explode if they found out Africans used other Africans as slaves before slaves were ever shipped to the colonies.

Free tip, BLM. It wasn't white people selling the slaves to white people in Africa. Tribes who conquered other tribes did, too.

It's okay when blacks do it. That's soc jus 101 right after "All men are rapists."

I hope they keep it up, the faster everyone learns that these ass-hats are, well ass-hats we can all go back to hating Arabs like god intended!

Seriously; if any minority has lost the right to complain about oppression its the ones attending a Ivy League school where costs can be 65K plus a year. Talk about 1st world problems!

The song has vanished as of 2:00 AM Central Time from the Youtube Channel that is associated with it.

This pisses me off entirely. Though, to keep it short.

They are the PETA movements. No one will ever take you seriously if you continue on with it. PETA, in concept, was an organization that didn't want animals to suffer. In practice, they did. There are valid points here or there, but still. No one ever listens to the valid points because those points are overshadowed by the rest of the organization's history.

The same will happen here.

Man, that person's a pussy. Not like it'd help if it stayed. But the fact that it was removed is not going to look nice on their (already piss-poor) reputation.

 

[DirkBloodStormKing]

This is why I subscribe to #AllLivesMatter and not #BlackLivesMatter. While #BlackLivesMatter does have noble intentions in concept, in practice, it has been taken over by racists and SJWs who care more about their agenda than actual lives.

In the early days of BLM I was all for it but they have really cheapened themselves and their cause in my eyes by doing dumb shit. Attacking Sanders, who has a 50 year history of being pro-civil rights was only the first straw but there have been many more.
