I was already drafting this post when we were graced by the presence of Emily from V the K’s “Leftsplaining” post. She says,
What I’m advocating for is to *listen* to what black people have to say about racism. This information can be extremely challenging but it’s a necessary perspective if you ever want to think critically about racism instead of simply amplifying your own feelings in an echo chamber forever.
Excellent. Emily, this post has now been re-purposed for you. Let’s *listen* now and let our ideas be challenged, shall we?
This black person says that ALL lives matter. (What a concept, huh? #AllLivesMatter, that’s a movement I could get into.)

A couple more. This black person discusses the connections between slavery, racism, income gaps, and the plight of African-American families:

And this black young person patiently refutes a particular #BLM supporter who, it seems, 1) can’t process the concept of “legal immigration” (as opposed to illegal) and 2) handles all disagreement by yelling:

Emily, did you listen? It should have taken a little more than 21 minutes. Let us know in the comments if you did, and if you learned anything.
UPDATE: From the comments (thanks Kurt), this black person finds that a lot of racism dissipates when blacks practice individual responsibility:

Emily, did you “*listen*” to her experience? I don’t know, maybe the pro-life and God-talk would be too much for you?
Also from another post of V’s, an interesting debate among black people:

The two left-wing #BLM reps get most of their facts wrong and can barely put a coherent thought together. The other guy shows great patience in trying to help them state a coherent thought, although he also tells them the truth about how angry and complaining they are. Yes, I *listen*ed to the whole thing. Have you?
I’m not sure if you saw this one, also, or not. This particular version only has a few views, but I’ve seen it in many places over the past few days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50jiz9B_2B4
Thanks Kurt, good one. I think I’ll add a couple more to the post as updates.
Have you all seen this one? It’s a Black cop’s take on BLM (which I think gives him a unique perspective.)

The white chic in the 3rd video is a moron, geez what a retard.
And even the uber-liberal NYT has written that a “surprising” new study shows there is no racial bias when it comes to cops shooting perps:

Hope Emily has some ice for that. It’s bound to hurt.

This one re. Baltimore but the message is timeless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k9yOML5Gjs
Yeah. Good ones, guys, thanks!
Joe Evans has it pegged… why can’t Barry get it?
The most revolting thing about BLM and it’s establishment enablers is that the people being hurt most are the people they *claim* to be helping.
Stoking fear and anger with lies (“hands up!”) and giving license to criminals (Ferguson Effect) is costing lives.
None of these bastards have one word to say when another toddler is killed by one of Obama’s sons.
Take a look at the kid in this story – like kids or not, he looks like a cute kid; a kid that didn’t deserve to die as collateral damage in a rolling gun battle.

My contempt and loathing of the BLM crowd knows no limits.
PS: I noticed that Pandora (online music) tweeted out their support for BLM. It’s only $4/mo but they will be doing without my $4, effective immediately.

I gotta say, this guy Jesse Lee Peterson….I’m watching a few more of his vids. And I do NOT agree with his views on gays at all. But I don’t resent him. Because there is no reason why I should resent him. We simply disagree. He has both morality and forgiveness, in his heart. They make him interesting and worth *listen*ing to, whether I personally regard him as correct or wholly incorrect, on whatever the topic is.
#BLM, not so much. They’re insecure, blaming and racist. For someone to be both moral and forgiving (or loving) is fascinating. It’s a pity that #BLM is far from it.
Whites have been doing nothing but listen to Blacks, ever since the sixties. They’ve been given endless platforms to say what they have to say, for decades now. Nothing that Whites say or do in response, no matter how much they agree, or grovel, ever satisfies endless Black grievance.
