BLM Has Killed More Blacks Than Lynching Has

“It doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is our plan.” – The Dark Knight Rises

What’s the difference between protestors in Hong Kong and Minneapolis?  In Hong Kong they protested against censorship.

I have written before about the Marxist origin of Black Lives Matter®.  That doesn’t appear to bother the news media, Leftists, or the corporations that shovel money into it like they’re feeding a machine.  Yes, Black Lives Matter™ is a machine, but it’s not quite the machine that the liberal wine-aunts that listen to NPR© think it is.

But challenge Black Lives Matter© while working for a major corporation, even in good faith?  That’s going to shorten your career.

Zac Kriegman worked for Thompson/Reuters®.  “Worked for” is the proper tense.  Kriegman had a bachelor’s in economics topped with a law degree from Harvard® and was working for Thompson/Reuters© leading their efforts in artificial intelligence.  His pronoun is:  “Was.”

A friend go fired from a keyboard factory for not putting in enough shifts.

Then he posted an essay on the internal servers.  You can read it here (LINK).  What was the sin he got fired for?  Objecting to the bias he saw at Thompson/Reuters™ and then, worst of all, proving via statistics that Black Lives Matter© and the Thompson/Reuters© narrative was . . . a lie.  A longer version of Kriegman’s story can be found here (LINK).  Thanks to Ricky for both of those links.

The results are clear.  According to the Tuskegee Institute (who apparently are the official counters of such things) a total of 3, 446 black people were lynched between 1882 and 1968.  Based on Kriegman’s data, it’s entirely likely that Black Lives Matter’s™ focus on “defunding the police” along with the Ferguson and Minneapolis Effects, that Black Lives Matter© killed more blacks in three years than lynching ever did in 86 years.

It is clear that facts like these have to be suppressed.  That’s why Zac Kriegman was fired.  At Thompson/Reuters™, the Truth doesn’t matter – just adherence to the Narrative.

But . . . why?

The answer is that the real goal (regardless of the stated goal) of Black Lives Matter© has nothing to with making the lives of black people better.  This is obvious from one initiative alone:  defunding the police.

No, no I really don’t.

I am skeptical of all police.  I tend to think that many police officers will do as they’re told, no matter who tells them, and no matter what they tell them.  History has proven that most cops will go collect guns from lawful owners or round up people for the “vaxx” camps if they’re told to.  Don’t believe me?  Check out Australia.

But if I were a cop in the liberal utopias where Leftists have put a target on my back, I’d do the bare minimum, while looking for a job anywhere outside places where arrests are irrelevant because the Soros-funded DA has installed a revolving door on the jail.  Oddly, this is exactly the desired result.  Soros wants chaos on the streets, and has found that cops won’t arrest people that won’t go to prison.  Those people are then left on the street, where they keep committing crimes until they get bored enough to kill someone.

Combine the following ingredients:

  • inflamed rhetoric noting that no problem in the black community is the responsibility of blacks,
  • occasional “martyr” victims that are selected not because of their innocence, but because the story (Ferguson) or video (Minneapolis) of the incident makes people really mad,
  • aggressive ignoring of the reality documented in FBI statistics that black neighborhoods are amazingly violent places – 58% of all people murdered in 2020 in the U.S. were black, and 54% of people arrested for murder in 2020 in the U.S. . . . were black, and
  • a news media, Thompson/Reutersâ„¢ included, that is all-in on the propaganda and what do you get?

More death.

Arguing that having fewer cops in the areas where most of the murders are taking place will make things better isn’t magical thinking – it’s intentional murder.  Regardless of the reasons that black people are killing themselves – having fewer cops around won’t help the situation.

According to BLM™, that’s okay.  The goal of Black Lives Matter© obviously has nothing to do with helping actual black people.  What is it, then, that they’re up to?

The real goal of Black Lives Matter® is to create enough discontent and pain in the black community so that they’ll accept any solution.  Of course, the solution that the Left proposes is based on increased discipline, improving morality, focusing on keeping families intact, creating a culture of personal responsibility, and rigorous academic performance.

Ha!  Just kidding!  It’s literally the opposite of all of those things.  The current Leftist solution is like trying to help Charlie Sheen via giving him more porn stars and cocaine.

Charlie’s tested positive for everything except the ‘rona . . . .

And companies that support BLM© are complicit.  In the case of Thompson/Reuters© they reported uncritically on false claim that BLM™ made.  This, of course, provided oxygen for the fire.  Large companies then threw on bushels of cash, which provided more fuel.  The result?

Thousands of people, most of them black, who would now be alive except for Black Lives Matter™ are now dead.   These people had been utterly abandoned by their local politicians, media, and the large companies that earn Social Justice® points by pandering to those same NPR© liberal wine aunts.

The goal is simple:   to create an army of discontent people to increase violence and chaos.  It’s always easier to destroy than to build – and this idea is to destroy everything, leaving an America that’s hollowed out – a place with no center.  That’s what Leftists are good at.

Building and creating?  Not so much.

But at least black people don’t have to worry about lynching now.  They can just worry about how Black Lives Matter™ is going to “help” them next instead.

  1. “…leaving an America that’s hollowed out.” A means to an endgame? When the idea is realized, where do you suppose it goes from there? CW2? Hostile takeover? Wild, Wild West?

    1. Communist (Leftist) takeover. Increasing anarchy has been part of their playbook for over a century now. They use criminal thugs to enforce their arbitrary decisions and sew chaos and pain. They increase the pain until the sheople will demand that someone, anyone, rush in to save them. After all, the Leftists can’t save us from problems they didn’t create.

      Never forget that to the left, violence and anarchy are tools that they adjust up and down with a fine hand, according to current need. Notice that after the Usurpation, the cities stopped burning. This is not a coincidence.

      1. If you read the Wikipedia history of Black Lives Matter, you’ll see that it was always only active just before elections. On the one hand, they claim continuous violence against their people, but on the other, they’re invisible in odd-numbered years. They went quiet after Trump got elected, too.

  2. There’s a crucial difference between a simple murder and a lynching. A lynching was a public spectacle intended to terrorize every black person who heard about it. The murders were either gang-related, or random. Maybe they were intended to “teach a lesson” to the other gang members (possibly to members of both gangs), but lynching was intended to “teach a lesson” of permanent subservience. The alleged crime of a lynching victim was incidental. The point was to demonstrate impunity to arbitrary acts of public torture and instill fear.

    1. And yet, three times as many whites as blacks were lynched over that time period.

      Funny, that. What group was trying to dominate? Who were they “teaching a lesson” to? Ponder this in light of current and recent events.

      1. “three times as many whites as blacks were lynched over that time period.”
        Really? Please provide citations to back up your statement. By chance , if your statement holds water, then who were lynching the whites? IE: blacks, puerto ricans, somolians……..who

        1. White people were lynching Whites who broke the law but didn’t get caught. Because we care about things like justice. I realize this is difficult for a Leftist to grasp.

      2. Yeah, I too have trouble believing “three times more whites than blacks have been lynched” and after some searching online I just can’t find supporting evidence for that. Number vary depending on the source, naturally. Two representative sources are these reports from 2017 and 2019, documenting a range of 3265 (1883 to 1941) to 4084 (1877 to 1950) lynchings of blacks and somewhere over 1000 lynchings of whites…

        I of course think any lynching of any black person was a horrible thing. But the number of blacks dying from drug overdoses EVERY SINGLE YEAR NOW exceeds the ALL LYNCHINGS OVER A TOTAL PERIOD OF SEVEN DECADES.

        https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/opioid-overdose-deaths-by-raceethnicity/?currentTimeframe=3&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D

        In my opinion, our national focus should be on these current preventable deaths instead of further hand wringing over historical ones. To the extent that BLM “defund the police” efforts enable these deaths, then yes, BLM is killing more blacks now than lynchings ever did.

    2. Understood . . . but these rates are at least 100x more violent. That’s a lot more terror, a lot quicker.

  3. Really blacks don’t need much encouragement to be violent but when you take away all the disincentives to acting on their basest impulses? You get 2020 and 2021 which was way worse. There is no reason to think 2022 won’t be worse yet.

    Oh, and I wonder how many blacks lynched over the course of a century were actual violent criminals being dealt some frontier justice?

  4. When I see video of a bLM demo/riot/whatever, the first thing I usually notice is how few dark faces I see. Plenty of fat white girls, though. Maybe they should rebrand: FWGLM?

    1. Pretty much all Leftists activists are undesirable white women, ‘specially abled’ white males, jews, and mulattos.

    2. Pretty much all Leftist activists are ugly White girls, ‘specially abled’ White men, jews, and a few frizzy-haired mulattos.

  5. Another recent truism: Kara Cooney has killed as many black men as Kyle Rittenhouse, a fact denied by the venerable National Geographic, to their probable slander payout detriment.

    https://www.lawofficer.com/ucla-professor-kara-cooney-falsely-claims-kyle-rittenhouse-killed-two-black-men/

    It’s not just Reuters or Nat Geo that has gone insane – the venerable Scientific American, a once-towering mainstay of deep rational thinking, has gone from the oversimplified mush it served in recent years to far worse…

    RIP, E. O. Wilson…a fellow Alabamian, a gentleman scientist, and who would have been my unequivocal pick to be humanity’s sole representative on an alien ship taking one human representative to sign up Earth into the Galactic Federation. Upon his E. O.’s recent death a few weeks ago, I think that role now logically falls to John Wilder. (Not that with our current mess we’re gonna be invited to join the Federation anytime soon…)

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/edward-o-wilsons-new-take-on-human-nature-160810520/

    An EXCELLENT overview documentary biography about E. O., well worth two hours of your TV time. He always had hope and faith we could come back from whatever mess we found ourselves.

    1. After thinking further about my own post above, I am wondering if I would have the nerve to wear a T-shirt in public that said “I’ve killed as many Black men as Kyle Rittenhouse”. Probably not. Would you?

      I hereby relinquish all legal claims to this purely factual statement. John, this could be the wise business opportunity to make you wealthy that you’ve been waiting for. Good luck!

  6. Hopefully, the racial-guilt madness we are living though in the U.S. and around the world is just a phase and nothing more. It’s akin to letting the two year olds decide that ice cream is what’s for dinner and that naps are optional. As soon as our perpetual adult toddlers learned that a tantrum will get them anything they want, it was off to the races (heh).

    On that famous continuum, decades of good times created soft men through the American century, but those good times have apparently run their course. Expect that the bad times we’ve entered will inevitably give rise to hard men and an eventual restoration to order, though perhaps not in your own lifetime.

    An aside – there was a tipsy wine ant in A Bug’s Life, right? If there wasn’t, there should have been.

    1. It is a phase, a phase of an explicit plan for subverting a nation. It will end once those behind it achieve full power. This will not be a good thing.

  7. “The Goal:…”

    You forgot its parallel – “to facilitate the opportunity for people of color to purchase $1MM+ single family housing in 98% white neighborhoods.”

  8. I’m guessing Defund Da Poh-Leece is largely about one or two things, or a combination. Save butt tons of money for the local government as the economy collapses with 50% unemployment ( look at the labor participation rate ). Or, lighting a fire under civil war. The more areas rebelling, the less supplies get sent to them. Triaging the Red to save the Blue areas. Resource contraction must create a demand destruction.

    1. “Build back better” applies. The police uphold the rule of law and the established governmental and social order. The goal is to destroy and replace. Americans are simply obstacles to be removed and replaced. “Build back better” is for the benefit of the rulers, not the subjects.

      Everything the Left does is to gain power. Everything Leftists do is to gain power, wealth, or sex. (They have such simple, predictable goals.)

    2. Leftist boondoggles often have many goals and beneficiaries, as people jump on the bandwagon. However for Defund da po-leeze I’m pretty sure the primary purpose was to create a casus belli for increased federal control of local police. The fires hadn’t even died down when some of the regime media outlets were calling for this.

      Local police, especially sheriffs, are some of the few people in this nation that can actually fight back against the Leftist machine, so this makes sense. They’ll start it off with whatever they can fit through the door, then once that wedge is driven will continue pushing for more, as they always do. With the Republicans fake-fighting them as they always do.

    3. I’m sure several agendas are being served by Defund da Poleeze, but the main one is to create a legislative ‘casus belli’ for transferring control of local police to the federal government. Some in the regime media were claiming this was needed before the fires were even out. Probably start with something like a national board to review use of violence and/or hiring decisions.

  9. Absolutely loved the “Three Body” series. I was gifted the hardbacks for Christmas. February, I think will be the perfect binge time for rereading them. Cant wait to hear your thoughts on them. Nobody much talks about fiction anymore. BTW, I very much enjoy you blog. Keep up the thoughtful work.

    1. I’m enjoying them, also, the Salvation series by Hamilton. Thanks for the kind words – more to come!

  10. One of the reasons I don’t like living, or travelling, in large cities is my wariness of the police. They perform at the whims of derelict politicians, and officials, that are easily persuaded to take the side of criminals that can grease their palms, or influence their ability to keep their job. Instead of Constitutionally bound peace officers, too many are only hired mercenaries.
