My remarkable padlet by Dizae https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz Made with a warm hug en-us 2016-07-19 14:47:38 UTC 2023-07-20 06:54:04 UTC hello@padlet.com Black Lives Matter  dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116629681 Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes. It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within some Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters,queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all. Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of Black queer and trans folks,disabled folks, Black-undocumented folks, folks with records,women and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. It centers those that have been marginalized within Black liberation movements.It is a tactic to (re)build the Black Liberation Movement. - http://blacklivesmatter.com/]]> 2016-07-19 14:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116629681 #WHAT IT IS ABOUT- The slogan, "BLACKLIVESMATTER" is not a anti-white proposition. The movement does not hate white people. As stated from BlackLivesMatter.com, "Contained within the statement is an unspoken but implied “too,” as in “black lives matter, too,” which suggests that the statement is one of inclusion rather than exclusion. The Black Lives Matter movement demands that the country affirm the value of black life in practical and pragmatic ways, including addressing an increasing racial wealth gap, fixing public schools that are failing, combating issues of housing inequality and gentrification that continue to push people of color out of communities they have lived in for generations, and dismantling the prison industrial complex. None of this is about hatred for white life."  dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630661 https://www.theodysseyonline.com/black-lives-matter-why-dont-all-lives-matter]]> 2016-07-19 15:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630661 #WHAT IT IS ABOUT-  The real issue is that, while strictly true, “All Lives Matter” is a tone-deaf slogan that distracts from the real problems black people in America face. As stated by one of the founders Alica Garza,"When we say Black Lives Matter, we are talking about the ways in which Black people are deprived of our basic human rights and dignity. It is an acknowledgement Black poverty and genocide is state violence. It is an acknowledgment that 1 million Black people are locked in cages in this country–one half of all people in prisons or jails–is an act of state violence. It is an acknowledgment that Black women continue to bear the burden of a relentless assault on our children and our families and that assault is an act of state violence." dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630757 http://www.inquisitr.com/2265493/all-lives-matter-outrage-democrat-candidates-protested-for-inflammatory-statement/]]> 2016-07-19 15:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630757 #MISCONCEPTION"The movement hates officer" -This is not what the black lives movement is about. Stated on www.blacklivesmatter.com website," . Police officers are people. Their lives have inherent value. This movement is not an anti-people movement; therefore it is not an anti-police-officer movement. Most police officers are just everyday people who want to do their jobs, make a living for their families, and come home safely at the end of their shift..." This is a prime example of what the movement is not about. This movement is not trying to make the world unsafe for police officers, it hopes to make police officers less of a threat to communities of color.  dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630887 http://blacklivesmatter.com/11-major-misconceptions-about-the-black-lives-matter-movement/ ]]> 2016-07-19 15:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630887 #MISCONCEPTION- The movement does not condone or agree with violent riots.  There is enough killing , so is the last thing people want. Quoted from nationalreveiw.com, Micah Johnson, the shooter, told a hostage negotiator that he was angry on behalf of Black Lives Matter and “wanted to kill white people, especially police officers.” Johnson’s Facebook page revealed an affinity for black nationalism, and he followed a Facebook group called the “African American Defense League,” which encouraged followers to “ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN” and “sprinkle Pigs Blood.” Johnson seems to have been the mirror-image of Dylann Roof, the white nationalist who killed nine black people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., last yearne piggly-wiggly down!”Even when Black Lives Matter activists chant “Pigs in a blanket! Fry ’em like bacon!” — and too many of them do — violent rhetoric is not directly responsible for actual violence." dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630996 http://www.nationalreview.com/article/437694/black-lives-matter-hypocrisy-cheering-violence ]]> 2016-07-19 15:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116630996 #WHAT IT IS ABOUT- The movement wants there to be a understanding between police officers and black communities. No one life is better than the next. As quoted from BlackLivesMatter.com, "  We reject the use of military-grade weapons as appropriate policing mechanisms for any American community. We reject the faulty idea that disrespect is a crime, that black people should be nice or civil when they are being hassled or arrested on trumped-up charges. And we question the idea that police officers should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to policing black communities. Increasingly, the presence of police makes black people feel less rather than more safe. And that has everything to do with the antagonistic and power-laden ways in which police interact with citizens more generally and black citizens in particular. Therefore, police officers must rebuild trust with the communities they police. Not the other way around."  dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116631921 http://www.rawstory.com/2015/08/conservatives-fall-in-love-with-texas-cop-who-said-black-lives-matter-is-a-hate-group-no-different-than-kkk/ ]]> 2016-07-19 15:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116631921 #WHAT IT IS ABOUT-  The movement supposrt the queer and trans community. One of the presenters and openers of the first opening was a queer black woman named, Elle Hearns. Two of the founders of the movement are queer black women. As quoted from BlackLivesMatter.com, ". This is a clear break from prior racial justice movement politics. Not only does the Movement for Black Lives embrace queer and trans black people, but it has been at the forefront of efforts to highlight our national epidemic of murders of trans women of color. dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116632046 http://newsone.com/3076912/richmond-police-chief-chris-magnus-holds-blacklivesmatter-protest-sign/]]> 2016-07-19 15:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116632046 #WHAT IT IS ABOUT- Black Lives Matter wants to build a environment where as quoted from BlackLivesMatter.com, " We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially “our” children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable." They want to create a environment where people feel safe again.  dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116632349 http://www.echoinggreen.org/blog/building-history-black-social-innovators ]]> 2016-07-19 15:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116632349 #MISCONCEPTION- The movement does care about Black on Black crime. This is something also that is a big deal among the black community. That is not the idea that did not cross their minds. As quoted from BlackLivesMatter.com, "The Black Lives Matter movement acknowledges the crime problem, but it refuses to locate that crime problem as a problem of black pathology. Black people are not inherently more violent or more prone to crime than other groups. But black people are disproportionately poorer, more likely to be targeted by police and arrested, and more likely to attend poor or failing schools. All of these social indicators place one at greater risk for being either a victim or a perpetrator of violent crime. To reduce violent crime, we must fight to change systems, rather than demonizing people."  dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116723989 https://avemariaradio.net/crime-stats-alarm-black-leaders/]]> 2016-07-21 00:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116723989 #MISCONCEPTIONS & #WHAT IT IS ABOUT dizaewillis23 https://padlet.com/dizaewillis23/jp9xijag6zrz/wish/116724216 There are misconceptions about the movement that is not true.
