I wonder how many people believe that the protest slogan ‘black lives matter’ is a legitimate declaration as it is employed in riots, protests, speeches, and articles, and also printed on billboards, posters, shirts, banners, basketball courts, streets, and so on. On the surface, it looks like a fairly solid sentiment, but is this protest slogan as it is understood and used by those who wield it in protest truly one that expresses a legitimate sentiment?
NO IT IS NOT…and it is not even close to being anything other than a slogan of hatred and ignorant bigotry directed at the majority of white people and police officers of all colors. In fact, the primary meaning of the protest slogan ‘black lives matter’ that is insisted upon by those who promote the protest slogan is that black lives are abused and killed in large numbers and/or too often by police officers and white racists, and white people en masse and the legal system do not really care when these particular black lives are abused or destroyed. In this regard, then, the slogan means basically this: ‘Hey, white people and legal authorities! Stop ignoring and not caring about the ongoing slaughter and abuse of black people by racist police officers, the legal system, and white racists in general. Black lives matter, you immoral racists.’
However, this is an egregiously false and unjust narrative that is not backed up by any objective data and other facts about such killings and abuse that the protesters and rioters and fellow travelers intentionally ignore while also declaring that they want justice as they robotically chant calls for immoral violence in the form of ‘no justice, no peace’, but they refuse to act justly toward police officers and white people in general. As such, they either participate in immoral violence or encourage it from others, all the while pushing false narratives to support their immoral actions.
Even peaceful protests that feature the ‘black lives matter’ protest slogan and similar themes can indeed be legal, but being legal does not make the protests ethically sound, especially when they are based on demonstrable lies as these protests are. Sound moralists have always made it clear that just because some things can be done and might be legal or even have some good aspects to them does not make all such things ultimately moral undertakings.
Accordingly, anybody who uses, defends, or supports the ‘black lives matter’ protest slogan (The hideously immoral, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, pro-gender fantasies, pro-Marxist organization with the ‘black lives matter’ name is of course even worse in many ways.) as a legitimate form of protest is intentionally or unintentionally guilty of adopting a bigoted and unjust narrative toward white people in general, the legal system, and the majority of police officers based on the fundamental lie at the heart of the protest slogan. Moreover, those who defend the protest slogan in part by claiming it does not diminish other lives are using the red herring fallacy to avoid admitting the bigotry of the primary narrative expressed by the protest slogan that automatically diminishes other lives based on the false stereotyping that comprises the essence of the protest slogan.
Among many possible sources of valuable information that can be consulted to further reveal the despicable lie behind the protest slogan ‘black lives matter’, I recommend a few very short, freely available online videos (~5 minutes) that clearly expose the utter nonsense behind the false police brutality narrative and widespread racism narrative behind the ‘black lives matter’ protest slogan and movement, and they do this by presenting objective facts and data that can be easily checked and confirmed. For instance, see the video by Heather MacDonald entitled “Are the Police Racist?” After that, try another short video by Larry Elder entitled “The Ferguson Lie.” This short video conclusively demonstrates that the rise of “Black Lives Matter” protests and rioting that followed the Ferguson incident is based on yet another lie, and this lie has also been turned into a false and bigoted protest slogan by people who ignorantly chant “Hands up; don’t shoot.” Such an action that triggered the use of this bigoted protest slogan never happened as claimed, but of course objective truth means nothing to the misguided protesters and the evil-facilitating mainstream media and others who know better, but they don’t have the common decency to point out the falsehood behind this lie that serves to cause more people more unjust harm. This highly immoral ‘ends justify the means’ attitude is also very much in play in the riots, protests, stealing, and false reporting of these events.
But in the pursuit of actual justice based on objective truth, fully recognize and inform others that the protest slogan ‘black lives matter’ fundamentally represents a racist narrative that wrongly accuses others of being bigoted toward black people. It should never be seen as expressing anything that can be agreed with because of its inherent immorality in its primary interpretation used in protest. And if you wish to test this claim, simply respond to anybody who chants ‘black lives matter’ as part of a protest with the highly moral ‘all lives matter’ declaration that does express a legitimate sentiment, and if you are not accused of being racist and dismissed or accosted, you will be quickly told what ‘black lives matter’ really means when used in protest, and then you will be treated to the bigoted and false narrative described above while also being told that ‘all lives matter’ misses the point and is also racist because it refuses to acknowledge the “real message” of ‘black lives matter.’ The protest slogan is pure rubbish that must never be accepted as anything other than false, malicious, and destructive propaganda that likely brings a big smile to the evil one’s hellish countenance.
