Black People Politics : Whatever Happened to Black Lives Matter?

[Liberty]

Have you seen it?

According to the laws of physics and the principles of nature, nothing disappears into thin air, so it must be around here somewhere. It was too big and loud to fall between the couch cushions or hide in the closet, so someone must have stolen it. Someone must have found a way to silence it. I know there were a lot of people who wished it would evaporate into the ether or slowly fizzle out, but I’m sure it can’t be all gone.

Sometimes it's not a bad idea to get off the grid, maybe go underground. Of anyone, Black people have learned that.

Good point, Queenie! It is counter-productive when your enemy knows your every move in advance and announces it on the nightly news. That is how a lot of plans get sabotaged.

I hope you're right.

Same thing that happened to every other so-called "movement" that included "black" in the title. The shaky foundation upon which it was erected finally gave way to gravity.

Nothing of lasting value can be built atop a Slaver's definition of marketable product.. the contradictions inherent in the definition invariably seep into the core, fatally weakening the structure until it finally falls in on itself.

Black Lives Matter was finished as soon as they gave the movement a title. Because then, they could be co-opted, manipulated, infiltrated, demonized, ostracized, terrorized, penalized, brutalized, etc.

The truth is, real and lasting change is nameless and leaderless and moves among the shadows. It does not appear in televised debates. Real Change is A Result of work, not a political slogan discussed, debated and denigrated.

..context is everything.
