Summary: Black Lives Matter is a remarkable contribution that reaches beyond policing and vigilantes’ extrajudicial massacres of Black people. It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be common in some Black cultures, which essentially call for Black people to love Black, live Black and purchase Black, hold Black men straight at the front of the campaign, while our mothers, queer and trans and disabled folk take for background positions or not at all. Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of the gender continuum of Black queer and trans people, disabled people, Black-undocumented folks, registered folks, women, and other Black lives. It reflects on those who became oppressed within the struggles of Black liberation. (Re)building the Black independence movement is a strategy.

Reflection: We are concerned about the ways in which Black people are robbed of our fundamental human rights and equality as we say Black Lives Matter. It is an acknowledgment of black poverty and state brutality is genocide. It is an admission that 1 million Black people in this country are trapped in cages-one-half of all people in jails or prisons-is an act of state brutality. It is a recognition that 1 million Black people in this country are trapped in cages-one-half of all people in jails or prisons-is an act of state brutality. It is a recognition that the responsibility of a relentless attack on our children and our families continues to be carried by black women, and that the attack is an act of state brutality. In a hetero-patriarchal culture that disposes of us like trash and at the same time fetichizes us and benefits off us, black queer and trans people bearing a particular responsibility is state violence; the fact that 500,000 black people in the US are illegal refugees and banished to the shadows is state violence; the fact that black girls are seen as chips during moments of strife and war.

Quotation: “Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.”

Summary: Not into an American dream were Black people published, but into what Malcolm X described as a “American nightmare” of racial deprivation and unchecked racism. It was racist terrorism that obscured the true magnitude of this injustice. The last vestiges of legal segregation against the civil rights movement were demolished by African Americans one hundred years after Emancipation, but the movement’s excitement soon drained as American cities were combusted with Black people who were furious and disillusioned with being shut out of enjoying the wealth of American society. In pursuit of solutions to the issues of lead poisoning, rat infestations, starvation and malnutrition, underemployment, inadequate schools, and chronic poverty, hundreds of thousands of African Americans joined in the protests.

Since there are 45 million people living in poverty, there are 400 American billionaires. With the price of the minimum wage, benefit arrives. The good life is enjoyed by business owners, university presidents, and entrepreneurs in general, since so many people live a life of misery. The battle for Black emancipation, then, is not an abstract notion formed in isolation from the larger phenomena of economic injustice and oppression that pervades much of American society; it is directly related to it. The Black emancipation movement involves moving past the usual idea that Black people have gone a long way but have a long way to go, which, of course, suggests nothing about where we are really trying to get to.

Reflection: I asked why this movement has arisen at this time, even though police brutality and terrorism throughout American history have been such a prevalent part of Black life. In doing so, I explored the ideological and political factors that, in particular, sometimes significantly slow down the battle for black rights. The insistence that Black deprivation is embedded in Black society has historically detected focus away from the institutional origins of racism in Black people , causing African Americans to search inward rather than make demands on the state and others. Although, particularly when looking internally, this is a complex and conflicting mechanism that shows that most Black people work harder than anyone else and still do not get ahead. E space is explosive inside the paradox. Although, particularly when looking internally, this is a complex and conflicting mechanism that shows that most Black people work harder than anyone else and still do not get ahead. It can be used to further undermine civic services, which are also the only barrier between poor and working-class residents and the streets, because we can not see the past and current uses of bigotry. The originally vested hopes of Obama, who instead behaved to silence and quench the Black uprising,
The question has been brought to the fore: can we free ourselves in America?

Quotation:

“But we do know that there will be relentless efforts to subvert, redirect, and unravel the movement for Black lives, because when the Black movement goes into motion, it throws the entire mythology of the United Statesā€”freedom, democracy, and endless opportunityā€”into chaos.”
