Black Lives Matter (BLM) was established
<http://thefeministwire.com/2014/10/blacklivesmatter-2/> as an online
platform in 2013 by Alicia Garza
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2670>, Patrisse
Cullors
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2671> and Opal
Tometi <http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2672>.
Their objective was to stoke black rage and galvanize a protest movement in
response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic
<http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/27/opinion/la-oe-goldberg-trayvon-martin-race-20120327>”
who was tried for murder and manslaughter after he had shot and killed a
black Florida teenager named Trayvon Martin in a highly publicized February
2012 altercation. Before long, “Black Lives Matter” became a rallying cry
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/> for writers, public speakers,
celebrities, demonstrators, and even rioters who took up the cause of
demanding an end to what BLM terms the “virulent
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/> anti-Black racism” that “permeates our
society.” Demanding that Americans “abandon
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> the lie that the
deep psychological wounds of slavery, racism and structural oppression are
figments of the Black imagination,” BLM aims to force
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> the country to
become “uncomfortable about institutional racism.”

Emphasizing <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> the
permanence and intransigence of American depredations, BLM maintains that
the nation's “corrupt democracy” was originally “built on Indigenous
genocide and chattel slavery” and “continues to thrive on the brutal
exploitation of people of color”; that “the ugly American traditions of
patriarchy, classism, racism, and militarism” endure to this day; that
“structural oppression
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/>” still “prevents so
many from realizing their dreams”; and that blacks in the U.S. are
routinely “de-humaniz[ed] <http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/>,” rendered
“powerless at the hands of the state,” “deprived of [their] basic human
rights and dignity,” and targeted for “extrajudicial killings … by police
and vigilantes.” In sum, says BLM, black Americans are “collectively”
subjected to “inhumane
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> conditions” in a
“white supremacist system.”

Though BLM professes to articulate the needs and grievances of black people
as a whole, the organization deems <http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/> it
vital to go “beyond <http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/> the narrow
nationalism” that “merely” urges black people to “love Black, live Black,
and buy Black.” That is, it focuses an added measure of attention on those
blacks who, in the past, “have been marginalized within Black liberation
movements.” These include, most notably, black “queer and trans,” who “bear
a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like
garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us”; black
“undocumented immigrants” who are “relegated to the shadows” of American
society; black “disabled” people who “bear the burden of state-sponsored
Darwinian experiments that attempt to squeeze us into boxes of normality
defined by white supremacy”; and blacks who self-identify along
non-traditional points of the “gender spectrum.”

To improve the allegedly abysmal condition of blacks in the United States,
BLM has issued a series of non-negotiable demands
<http://blacklivesmatter.com/demands/>. These include:

   - “an end to all forms of discrimination
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> and the full
   recognition of our [Blacks'] human rights”;


   - “an immediate end to police
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> brutality and
   [to] the murder of Black people and all oppressed people”;


   - “full, living-wage employment for our people,” to ensure
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> “our right to a life with
   dignity”;


   - “decent housing <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/>”
   and “an end to gentrification”;


   - the cessation of racially “discriminatory discipline
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> practices” in the schools;


   - “an end to the school-to-prison
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> pipeline,” a
   term for the practice of using black students' behavioral problems as an
   excuse for pushing them out of the classroom and into the juvenile- and
   criminal-justice systems;


   - “quality education for all,” including “free or affordable public
   university” enrollment;


   - “freedom from mass incarceration
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> and an end to
   the prison industrial complex,” whose hallmarks
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> include “the over-policing and
   surveillance of [black] communities,” the enactment of many “racist laws,”
   and “the warehousing of black people”;


   - “access to affordable healthy food
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> for our
   neighborhoods”;


   - “an aggressive attack against all laws, policies, and entities that
   disenfranchise <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/>
   any community from expressing themselves at the ballot” (e.g., Voter ID
   <http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1666> laws);


   - “a public education
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> system that
   teaches the rich history of Black people”;


   - “the release <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/>
   of all U.S. political prisoners”;


   - “an end to the military
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/state-of-the-black-union/> industrial
   complex that incentivizes private corporations to profit off of the death
   and destruction of Black and Brown communities across the globe”;


   - a comprehensive Justice Department review
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> of “systematic abuses by police
   departments” across the United States;


   - congressional hearings investigating
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> “the criminalization of
   communities of color”;


   - an end <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> to “the use of
   profiling on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin or religion by
   law-enforcement agencies”;


   - the implementation <http://blacklivesmatter.com/ferguson/> of a
   National Plan of Action for Racial Justice by the Obama Administration,
   addressing “persistent and ongoing forms of racial discrimination and
   disparities that exist in nearly every sphere of life”;


   - the release, by the office of U.S. attorney general, of “the names
   <http://blacklivesmatter.com/demands/> of all [police] officers involved
   in killing black people within the last five years … so they can be brought
   to justice—if they haven’t already”; and


   - “a decrease <http://blacklivesmatter.com/demands/> in law-enforcement
   spending at the local, state and federal levels and a reinvestment [through
   the federal government] of that budgeted money into the black communities
   most devastated by poverty in order to create jobs, housing and schools.”

Several of the foregoing demands are clearly modeled on those that were put
forth by the Black Panther Party
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7375> in the
1960s. As with the Panthers, the key “demand” is for war against the
police; the rest are window dressing.

In December 2014, a group of BLM protesters in the San Francisco Bay area
rejected
<http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/12/26/black-lives-matter-protestors-reject-police-call-for-dialogue/>
efforts by three regional police unions—in Oakland, San Francisco, and San
Jose—to initiate “constructive dialogue that calls for a common sense
approach to very complex issues.”

*The Consequences of BLM's Rhetoric*

In 2013 and beyond, a number of black criminal suspects who had died in the
course of confrontations with police officers joined Trayvon Martin as new,
martyred icons of the BLM movement. Prominent among these were Eric Garner
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=2265> (New
York), Michael Brown
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=2265> (Ferguson,
Missouri), Tamir Rice
<http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/03/us/tamir-rice-investigation/>
(Cleveland), Timothy
Russell
<http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/10/15/63-cops-suspended-over-deadly-chase-in-cleveland/>
(Cleveland), Malissa Williams
<http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/10/15/63-cops-suspended-over-deadly-chase-in-cleveland/>
(Cleveland), and Freddie Gray
<http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/01/us/freddie-gray-who-is-he/> (Baltimore).
High-profile political leaders such as President Barack Obama
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1511>,
Attorney General Eric Holder
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2357>, and
the mayors of the cities where the aforementioned deaths took place,
routinely depicted race as a major underlying factor in those deaths.

In December 2014, for instance, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2592>—explicitly
exhorting New Yorkers to remember that “black lives matter”—lamented the “
centuries
<http://weaselzippers.us/207148-nyc-commissar-bill-de-blasio-blames-centuries-of-racism-for-garner-ruling/>
of racism” whose legacy
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/nyregion/grand-jury-said-to-bring-no-charges-in-staten-island-chokehold-death-of-eric-garner.html?_r=0>
was still influencing the actions of too many police officers. The mayor
called not only for the retraining of police forces “in how to work with
[nonwhite] communities differently,” but also for the use of body cameras
to bring “a different level of transparency and accountability” to police
work.

And in the aftermath of Freddie Gray's death in April 2015, Baltimore mayor
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, citing
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/07/us/mayor-stephanie-rawlings-blake-asks-justice-department-to-review-baltmore-police.html?_r=0>
her desire “to reform my [police] department,” called on the U.S.
Department of Justice to conduct a civil-rights investigation to determine
whether Baltimore police had been engaging in unconstitutional patterns of
abuse or discrimination against African Americans. Moreover, when violent
riots were overrunning parts of her city following Gray's demise,
Rawlings-Blake, by her own admission, “gave
<http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/politics/stephanie-rawlings-blake-freddie-gray-baltimore/>
those who wished to destroy, space to do that as well.” In other words, the
police were in effect sidelined.

In New York, Baltimore, and elsewhere in urban America, law-enforcement
officers responded to the newly rising anti-police climate by becoming less
proactive in apprehending criminals, particularly for low-level offenses.
This, in turn, led to a dramatic rise in crime rates in a number of U.S.
cities. For example:

   - Through the first five months of 2015 in New York, the incidence
   
<http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/06/04/have-fearful-police-brought-an-end-to-the-drop-in-crime/rise-in-crime-is-a-reason-to-fear-anti-police-rhetoric>
   of murder was 20% higher than for the same period a year earlier, and
   shooting incidents were up 9%.
   - During the three months that followed August 2014 (when Michael Brown
   was killed in Ferguson, Missouri), homicides
   
<http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/06/04/have-fearful-police-brought-an-end-to-the-drop-in-crime/rise-in-crime-is-a-reason-to-fear-anti-police-rhetoric>
   in nearby in St. Louis city rose 47%, and robberies in St. Louis County
   increased by 82%.
   - After the protests and riots over the April 12, 2015 death of Freddie
   Gray in Baltimore
   
<http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/06/04/have-fearful-police-brought-an-end-to-the-drop-in-crime/rise-in-crime-is-a-reason-to-fear-anti-police-rhetoric>,
   shootings in that city increased by more than 60% compared to the same
   period a year earlier. In May 2015
   
<http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/01/us-usa-police-baltimore-idUSKBN0OH3AB20150601>,
   Baltimore recorded 43 murders—the most in any month since August 1972.
   - From January to mid-May of 2015 in Milwaukee
   
<http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/mayor-barrett-appeals-to-community-on-ceasefire-sabbath-after-rash-of-shootings-b99501897z1-304043011.html>,
   homicides were up 180%

   compared to the same period in 2014.
   - From January through March of 2015 in Houston
   <http://mycity.houstontx.gov/crime/ucrPage.aspx>, murders were up nearly
   
<http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/06/04/have-fearful-police-brought-an-end-to-the-drop-in-crime/rise-in-crime-is-a-reason-to-fear-anti-police-rhetoric>
   100% compared to the same period in 2014.
   - From January 1 through May 24, 2015 in Chicago
   
<https://portal.chicagopolice.org/portal/page/portal/ClearPath/News/Crime%20Statistics>,
   shootings were up 25% and homicides were up 18% compared to the same period
   in 2014.
   - From January through May of 2015 in Los Angeles
   <http://pjmedia.com/blog/its-not-just-baltimore/?print=1>, shootings
   were up 23% and other violent crime was up 25% compared to the same period
   in 2014.

Moreover, some criminals deliberately made police officers the targets of
their violence. For instance, less than three weeks after Mayor de Blasio's
December 2014 condemnation of police in New York, a black gunman named
Ismaaiyl Brinsley shot and killed
<http://nypost.com/2014/12/20/2-nypd-cops-shot-execution-style-in-brooklyn/>
two uniformed NYPD officers, execution-style, as they sat in their marked
police car. In a Facebook message he had posted just prior to carrying out
his double murder, Brinsley made it explicitly clear that his motive
<http://nypost.com/2014/12/20/2-nypd-cops-shot-execution-style-in-brooklyn/>
was to avenge the recent deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

And of the nineteen <https://www.odmp.org/search/year?year=2015> police
officers nationwide who were killed in the line of duty (by gunshot,
assault, or vehicular assault) during the first five months of 2015, ten
were killed in the month of May alone; i.e., the month following the
Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore.

These spikes in urban crime and in attacks against police officers were not
at all troubling to BLM because, notwithstanding the movement's constant
professions of deep concern about black lives, the reality is quite
different. What matters most to BLM is finding a spark—e.g., allegations of
police vigilantism—that can be used to ignite a race war; to take America
back to the “long hot summers” of the 1960s, when criminals were seen as
radical “heroes,” police had a bull's-eye on their backs, and the streets
of America’s inner cities ran red with fantasies of “revolutionary
violence.”

*More BLM Activities*

In April 2015, BLM held a "Populism 2015
<http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/09/infiltrating_the_blacklivesmatter_cult.html>"
assembly at a Washington, DC hotel. The event was sponsored by National
People's Action
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7639>, the Campaign
for America's Future
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7331>, USAction
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6729>, and the
Alliance for a Just Society.

On May 28, 2015, BLM held an event at the Center for American Progress
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6709> titled
"Toward a More Perfect Union: Bringing Criminal Justice Reform to Our
Communities." At this gathering, writes journalist Matthew Vadum
<http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/09/infiltrating_the_blacklivesmatter_cult.html>:
"[B]lack activists blamed the rising tide of black violence against police
and whites on everyone except the perpetrators." They cited such root
causes as the evils of capitalism, white privilege, excessive numbers of
laws and police officers, corporate malfeasance, and insufficient taxes
levied on the wealthy.

In a July 2015 Netroots Nation
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7704> conference
in Phoenix, Arizona, BLM-affiliated protesters disrupted
<http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/248430-black-lives-matter-protesters-halt-omalley-event>
talks by two Democratic presidential candidates—U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2266> of
Vermont, and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley—shouting at both men:
“Say that black lives matter! Say that I am not a criminal! Say my name!”
O’Malley, for his part, responded by appealing for a sense of unity: “I
think all of us have a responsibility to recognize the pain and grief
caused by lives lost to violence. Black lives matter. White lives matter.
All lives matter.” These remarks by O’Malley caused the demonstrators to
become enraged, and they proceeded to boo loudly and shout him down.

At that same Netroots Nation conference, BLM activists led much of the
crowd in the following chant
<http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/video-reveals-violent-underside-black-lives-matter>
(click here
<http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/video-reveals-violent-underside-black-lives-matter>
for video):

"If I die in police custody, don't believe the hype. I was murdered!
Protect my family! Indict the system! Shut that sh*t down!
If I die in police custody, avenge my death!
By any means necessary!
If I die in police custody, burn everything down!
No building is worth more than my life!
And that's the only way motherf***ers like you listen!
If I die in police custody, make sure I'm the last person to die in police
custody.
By any means necessary!
If I die in police custody, do not hold a moment of silence for me!
Rise the f*** up!
Because your silence is killing us!"

On August 29, 2015—just hours
<http://dailycaller.com/2015/08/29/black-lives-matter-protesters-chant-pigs-in-a-blanket-fry-em-like-bacon-video/>

while the latter was pumping gasoline into his car—demonstrators affiliated
with the St. Paul
<http://dailycaller.com/2015/08/29/black-lives-matter-protesters-chant-pigs-in-a-blanket-fry-em-like-bacon-video/>,
Minnesota branch of BLM disrupted traffic as they marched—with police
protection
<http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/259982/dems-officially-endorse-anti-cop-blacklivesmatter-matthew-vadum>—to
the gates of the Minnesota State Fair. Carrying signs bearing slogans like
"End White Supremacy," they repeatedly chanted
<http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/08/30/black-lives-matter-chant-called-disgusting-by-police-leader/>
in unison: “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon.” “Pigs” was a reference
to police officers, and "blanket" was a reference to body bags. The slogan
echoed
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2882839/Pigs-blanket-smell-like-bacon-Shocking-moment-Ferguson-protesters-taunt-St-Louis-officers-hours-NYPD-cop-killer-posted-similar-Instagram-message.html>
what gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsleyan had posted on the Internet—"Pigs in a
blanket smell like bacon"—in December 2014, just before he murdered NYPD
officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos.

During the September 1, 2015 airing of a blog-talk-radio program associated
with BLM, the hosts laughed
<http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/09/breaking-video-blacklivesmatter-radio-show-its-open-season-on-killing-whites-and-cops/>
at the recent assassination of Texas Deputy Daron Goforth, a husband and
father who was shot 15 times at point blank range from behind while he was
gassing up his patrol car. One host, a self-described black supremacist
known as King Noble, said
<http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/black-lives-matter-radio-host-calls-race-war-cop-killing>
the execution of that "cracker cop" was an indication that "it's open
season on killing whites and police officers and probably killing cops,
period." "It’s unavoidable, inescapable," he added. "It’s funny that now we
are moving to a time where the predator will become the prey." After
claiming that blacks were like lions who could win a “race war” against
whites, Noble declared: “Today, we live in a time when the white man will
be picked off, and there’s nothing he can do about it. His day is up, his
time is up. We will witness more executions and killing of white people and
cops than we ever have before. It’s about to go down. It’s open season on
killing white people and crackas.”

On September 14, 2015, BLM supporter/demonstrator Joseph Thomas
Johnson-Shanks, a 25-year-old convicted felon, shot
<http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260126/blacklivesmatter-activist-murders-kentucky-cop-matthew-vadum>
and killed a rookie Kentucky state trooper named Joseph Cameron Ponder
after a high-speed chase. The perpetrator lived in Florissant, Missouri,
near the town of Ferguson, and had participated in local demonstrations
protesting the 2014 death of Michael Brown, a young black man killed by a
white Ferguson police officer after he had tried to take the officer's
handgun. (Click here
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=2265> for
details of that case.) Johnson-Shanks was so preoccupied with the Brown
case, that he even attended Brown's funeral and graveside service in August
2014.

On September 16, 2015, BLM activists Brittney Packnett, DeRay McKesson,
Johnetta Elzie, Phillip Agnew, and Jamye Wooten met
<http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260161/blacklivesmatter-goes-white-house-matthew-vadum>
at the White House with President Obama
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1511> as
well as senior advisor Valerie Jarrett
<http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2418> and
other administration officials. For Packnett, it was her seventh visit to
the Obama White House. Afterward, Packnett told reporters
<http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/17/valerie-jarrett-meets-black-lives-matter-leaders-white-house/>
that the president personally supported the BLM movement. “He offered us a
lot of encouragement with his background as a community organizer, and told
us that even incremental changes were progress,” she stated. “He didn’t
want us to get discouraged. He said, ‘Keep speaking truth to power.’”

On October 24, 2015, members
<http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/24/american-flag-replaced-unapologetically-black-flag-chicago-stopthecops-protests/>
of
the BLM-affiliated Black Youth Project (BYP) took down an American flag
during their #StopTheCops street protests in Chicago, replacing it with one
that read “Unapologetically Black.” Like BLM, BYP opposes increased
spending on law enforcement, as one of its activists, Maria Hadden,
explained: "To provide better education, to provide access to basic human
needs, housing and healthcare, those are the ways that we address
crime. Those are the ways we improve the city, not by spending more money
on police. So we believe we need to spend less money on policing, more
money on community services.” Some BYP protestors taunted the police by
singing, “Stop cops, stop cops, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when we
defund you?” to the tune of the *Bad Boys* theme song from the television
show *COPS*.

On November 12, 2015, a group of approximately 150 BLM protesters
<http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/college-blacklivesmatter-protests-turning-aggressive-f-you-filthy-whites>
shouting
"black lives matter" and racial obscenities stormed Dartmouth University's
library, shouting, “F*** you, you filthy white f***s!," "F*** you and your
comfort!," and "F*** you, you racist s***!” A report in the *Dartmouth
Review* said
<http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/college-blacklivesmatter-protests-turning-aggressive-f-you-filthy-whites>
:

"Throngs of protesters converged around fellow students who had not joined
in their long march. They confronted students who bore 'symbols of
oppression': 'gangster hats' and Beats-brand headphones. The flood of
demonstrators self-consciously overstepped every boundary, opening the
doors of study spaces with students reviewing for exams. Those who tried to
close their doors were harassed further. One student abandoned the study
room and ran out of the library. The protesters followed her out of the
library, shouting obscenities the whole way. Students who refused to listen
to or join their outbursts were shouted down.  'Stand the f*** up!'  'You
filthy racist white piece of s***!'  Men and women alike were pushed and
shoved by the group.  'If we can’t have it, shut it down!' they cried.
Another woman was pinned to a wall by protesters who unleashed their
insults, shouting 'filthy white b****!' in her face."

In mid-November 2015, students gathered at Kean University in New
Jersey to stand
<http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/suspect-behind-racist-threats-university-identified-black-activist>in
solidarity with BLM protests that were taking place at the University of
Missouri. One of the participants at the Kean event was
24-year-old Kayla-Simone McKelvey, a Kean alumnus and self-proclaimed black
activist who had graduated six months earlier. About midway through
the rally, McKelvey slipped away and went to the university library, where
she secretly and hastily created an anonymous Twitter account,
@keanuagainstblk, and stated in its description that it was an account
"against blacks" and "for everyone who hates blacks people."[sic]  McKelvey
then sent her first "anonymous" tweet: a bomb threat to the campus. She
followed that up with tweets that read: (a) "i will kill every black male
and female at kean university"; (b) "i will kill all blacks tonight,
tomorrow, and any other day if they go to Kean university"; and (c) "tell
every black person that you know they will die if they go to
#Keanuniversity". According to police, McKelvey then returned to the rally
and began spreading the word that she had "discovered" the aforementioned
Twitter threats against black students. McKelvey was subsequently charged
with third-degree "creating a false public alarm" and was ordered to appear
in court on December 14.
