Black Lives Matter’s Victim Mindset and Protecting a Criminal
defthaa
First time I was heard BLM movement when pandemic happened and I think it’s blown up when George Floyd case. The interesting part is, he’s got arrested multiple times and his girlfriend’s, Ross said she and Floyd was struggling with drug addict or in particular opioid. The witnesses have argued George Floyd was unresponsive in the moment before officer came in. Maybe he was under the substances used, whereby it was the reason why he can barely breathe. On his medical report’s, the substances were noted as contributor instead of the cause of his death. As a result, it’s made sense since the polices have taken firm action towards him in the moment. The officers were not restrained him merely because of his skin color’s. There are so many irregularities on George Floyd case. Black community has been defending him strictly to the point when there’s person who against it, they will cancel them immediately.
We can acknowledge slavery, colonize, discriminate were occurred towards black community, whereas it doesn’t mean we should demand apologize for people who are living in these modern society since it’s irrelevant to them. How can we demand them to say sorry when they didn’t even slave or discriminate people in the first place. Just because their ancestors did those horrific actions, it doesn’t mean their descendants’ have to pay what they’re doing in the past. As far as I'm concerned, the personnel in BLM seem to be using emotional blackmail due to funding in order to quote on quote improve their social movement's.
The founder of BLM, Patrisse Khan-Cullors was monetizing the movement by making a fund and she ended up living in such wealthy neighborhood. Why she surrounded herself with pre-dominantly white neighborhood instead of living around her community. It’s kind of odd on how victim was burning a building, pursuing looting in Minneapolis. Victim doesn’t act like that; it was a rebellion behavior. If you ask me, the solution in this movement is by moving on and stop being a victim. It’s easy for weaponize the victim card. BLM movement was telling us frequently about black people were struggling with the oppression. It’s such as they’re trying to tie black people with inherent devastated such as poor, yet still not having a good education, they were getting oppressed by white supremacist. What white people have and black people don't, because nowadays white people are being guilty and ashamed with their ancestors'. I think the root reason why police were policing them, maybe some of them are perpetrators since black community got left behind in education system or grew up in poverty. We should address the current issues in present moment while simultaneously learn from historic. At the end, racist person always exists, we couldn’t banish them entirely. So, either they bandwagon with people who are willing to move on and elevate black community by not taking a regressive movement or they can be dwelling with their victim mindset's nor continuing the circle of mistake again and again.
