Brief thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Maybe I'm just getting old but it seems to me that certain words have lost all meaning. I'll explain to you what I mean shall I?

Words such as racist, sexist, misogynistic (a personal fav for the feminists of the internet.) I hear all these buzz words being thrown around carelessly all the time especially recently with the rise of the BLM (black lives matter movement). And I'm honestly having a hard time taking anyone who uses these words to describe someone who disagrees with them seriously. People are so scared to death of being labelled a racist these days that they'll go along with anything that they think will keep that label away from them and in the end, they still wind up being called a racist. And please allow me to clarify who exactly I mean when I say 'them/they' I mean white (usually males,) yes people they are  the new target for hatred in today's society. Feminists love to dog pile them for their pale pigmentation and biological make up.These are the people I see being stoned most on the internet for having an opinion on anything SJW's think they should have no voice on. So now its racist to be against the violent BLM movement, a group of people whose culture (rap songs) applaud such behaviour but as soon as one of those pesky cops shoots a black american, it's police brutality.

 Lets not address the countless cultural clashes among the African-American community and the police, let us not talk about the encouraged hatred and mistrust many African-Americans pass down to their children, the blatant disrespect and outright ignorance. Oh no! That would make us racist. not to mention the main and most important fact here that BLM would have you not known about, the fact that it is indeed African-Americans (young men) that commit WAY more violent crime than any other group in America despite being only a small percentage of the population. But no! Anyone white who comes at this with facts and logic and not emotion and white guilt will be labelled a racist and shut out of the conversation which is currently just a shouting match anyway. But Leah, you may be thinking, you're not white or male. Exactly! So is it still racist of me because I make those points? Not according to social justice warriors, I can't be racist and according to feminists, as a woman and a black one no less I can't even be sexist either. My point is, if being logical is a trait only associated to white people, I weep because I am clearly a white woman trapped in the body of a black woman from Oldham.

 By denying these basic facts of life you deny black people the responsibility of their own actions, you belittle and condescend to them. That is racist.By denying the fact that women in the western world not only have equality but privilege, you infantilise women and make it so that they are never in control of their own choices and desires. That is sexist.

It is just so funny to me now that I see these words being directed at mostly well meaning people and yet the accusers are in fact the racist and sexist ones. Perhaps not intentionally but more dangerous still is the notion that they have no self awareness at all to know that by labelling certain groups as victims, they make victims out of them and render those people utterly incapable of self control.
 It makes me sick and angry to see it happening, more than it does to see innocent people be labelled racist and sexist, it makes me shake to see that entire groups of people are being reduced to sub-human levels on the say so of a few angry black supremacists or feminists.

These words have lost all meaning and more to the point, the movements that champion the unfair dolling out of these words to people who don't deserve it, are meaningless. They act like they have the best interests of the people they speak for at heart, however, if that were true surely that would merit the realisation that everyone has a voice that should be listened to before attempting to represent it.

I guess I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop or for more violence to commence on behalf of what is lets face it, a black supremacy group in the same way feminism is a female supremacy group feigning equality.

Think for yourself and don't be an arsehole.

Love,

The Girl in Blue
