Kyle Phoenix Answers: What is the real reason for the Black Lives Matter movement?

Because there is an absent space in American society of black lives mattering. Civil rights laws dont mean we all abide.

A better question is why do unifying black people generate so much anxiety?

My issue is that I don’t understand why we need this movement. As a Asian male, I don’t see this movement now as quite rational. How I see it: police shootings of African-American rates are far lower than the rates of killed whites. It’s probably why we know many of the names of killed young black men. From my perspective, there are more reports on headlines about black lives than any other race!

I’m curious about the whole entirety of the movement. Is it to promote the use of nonviolent tactics in the police force? Or is it something more? Is it to raise awareness about the conflict in black communities?

An answer to your question is that many things the BLM movement does is very harmful to society as a whole. For example, nurses and doctors were prevented to commuting to hospitals during highway protests. This type of uproar seems way too harmful than other movements such as LGBT.

One it's not for you specifically to understand or identify with. That's not a rebuff must a point, you're neither the target nor the advocacy intended protected. Here's what you could do in a neutral critical thinking skills examination, go to their website, you will neither be arrested, deported from any country or get diarrhea from reading their position. Then watch a few videos, then maybe watch 13th on Netflix as just an exercise.

Then consider that all protests, like dude standing in a square blocking a tanks way on international television or the immolation of monks or standing rock still or more immediate the pressure opposing Wei Weis imprisonment is disruptive. There comes a point in all progress, in all cultures where a minority number number stand up for the majorities oppression....it is never understood in present sight, similar to how MLK was rejected by 93% of black churches in the south to speak for years through the sixties.

Then maybe some Foucault and his mentee Angela Davis, she kinda had a little kerfuffle around the genesis of the Movement that would now metastasize into a BLM.

I have seen both positions of the argument. One is to mainly bring to light recent police shootings of African-Americans. One is that the rates of black deaths are far lower than white deaths in police shootings, therefore this movement need not to exist.

Police shootings of any minorty is terrbil...

Do you have a citation supporting your statement that the RATES of black deaths are far lower than white deaths in police shootings?

I’m very sure that these numbers are released by criminologists and the USFG. If you want a direct citation, I can provide one.

I would point out “20 percent of the victims …were white, while 26 percent were black.” And “blacks [comprise] roughly 15% of the population …” That alone shows blacks are disproportionately the victims.

Look at my Bureau of Justice Statistics. African American minorities commit far more crimes, therefore seeing such a low number is surprisings compared to… well whites.

I believe it says they were charged with that percentage of crimes, not that they committed them. At any rate, do you have a URL for those statistics?

Thank you for the link! That’s a good read.

My point has to do with statistics. Although I’ve never studied it outside of a basic math class, I remember vividly a book from the mid 60’s titled “How to Lie with Statistics”. Now, I’m not saying YOU’RE lying (or obfuscating or misleading). I’m saying statistics, before they can be used to support facts, need to have every aspect analyzed to make sure they’re saying what an analyst or reporter says they say. I wanted to look at your source so I could make my own analysis.

Oh yeah, are you saying that being charged with crime is not the same as committing crimes?

Gay people not being able to get married is merely an inconvenience. Innocent black people likely getting killed despite doing nothing wrong is life threatening to them and protests are much more critical.
