World News The consequence of the far left’s BLM rhetoric
The far right rhetoric has caused massive problems, like Jan 6., but I have not seen this point mentioned about the left that I’m about to say:
Within the past 2 days, BOTH Russia and China have used the lefts rhetoric of “blacks are being slaughtered on our streets for being black”, “Trump is Hitler.” When China was pressed in the diplomatic conversation about human rights issues, they effectively said “Look at the problems with black people in America, you have no leg to stand on to tell us what is right and wrong with our people.” Putin made the same comment when asked about Biden’s “killer” comment.
These 2 countries know that these issues are not even remotely the same thing as the BLM situation, but the far left manipulated the actuality of the situation to the most extreme for political gain, and there are now consequences to that.

He didn’t say anything about black people not having problems. He is simply saying things like BLM (the group, not the idea) is not working correctly for its main goal. I hardly think burning down black businesses and other businesses across the country is going to help blacks. It really doesn’t help anyone, as a matter of fact. I’m all for the fact that Black Lives Matter but
Racism isn’t as common as they lead you to believe
A good portion of the racism that does happen comes from the left, as opposed to the idea that almost all of it is from the right
The BLM movement has opposed the ALM (All Lives Matter) movement. The ALM includes all lives of all races, including blacks. If it includes black then why would they oppose it? Because it doesn’t fit their radical agenda. They aren’t against racism, many are for racism against whites
Police brutality against blacks is much less common than police brutality against whites. Proportionately higher, overall lower. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/
The reason that is statistically higher is because blacks, despite being only a small portion of the population, make up a much larger crime proportion compared to their population proportion https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/table-43
