Why are they storming the stage of the one major candidate who is doing the most to promote Poc rights

Nail on the Head, my friend...

Their mentality; it's really quite disturbing

Yes OMG Black Lives Matter is so delusional and attention seeking for all the wrong reasons. 

They literally will scream "Racist!" when a white cop so much as bats an eye wrong at a CRIMINAL, but then they completely ignore the growing problem of growing black on black crime in their own community. Like when that little 9 Year old girl was shot by a stray bullet from a gang fight in Ferguson, Missouri but they ignored it and defended a guy who just robbed a convenient store and attacked the owner. 

This video is epic: This woman literally ANNIHILATES the Black Lives Matter movement: 

 

stop being racist. You say black on black crime as if black people are more inherently violent. It's a separate issue. What about white on white crime? 

Also don't play ****ing dumb, you know you're exaggerating with that "they scream racist if cops bat an eye". Your racist ideas are in plain view. The activists who stormed Bernie sanders weren't even a part of black lives matter and were denounced by the group. Try harder.

this song, video and the donation make me so happy to stan this queen

[Iwontell 7,312]

Look, it's nice gesture...that's undeniable.

I'm not going to debate the methods or legitimacy of "black lives matter" here, but the intention behind the donation (other then promoting Bey, of course, let's not play dumb) is to help bring attention to racial issues in America...the donation could have gone to any other group, due to the people behind it and to the amount of money, the meaning would still be the same. Complaining about a donation is pointless...

Now, criticizing Beyoncé, JayZ or Tidal does not make anybody a racist...and most GGD members super liberal - most people are Bernie supporters, it's not even Hillary, that's how far to the left ppl are here...

Everyone here needs to chill...

I think its an exaggeration to say someone is racist because they don't agree with a certain group's methods. No one is denying that black people deserve more justice and there is obvious racial profiling and police brutality and casual racism in America.

do they have a webpage? i'm not trying to discredit the donation or anything, i'm genuinely curious because i want to see if there's any local events

btw the webpage I linked isn't the main group but it's the closest I could find. It is an organisation but with many stem groups which makes it confusing

TIDAL has money?!!

Hmm, their decentralised organisation makes it really hard to know where on Earth such a donation would actually go

Thank you for the information though I appreciate it!

K. I definitely am not racist. 

Are you assuming I'm white because of my views? Could a black person not hold those views?

And you put words in my mouth saying I said black people are inherently violent. That's your projection of what I said, but not at all what I said. I was pointing out that if you are going to have a movement called Black Lives Matter, shouldn't it be about all black people? Not just the ones killed by white cops? I was blown away about the statistics of black on black crime rate which is 127X more than whites killing blacks. 

White people also aren't trying to start a White Lives Matter group so I'm just disregarding your "white on white" comment. White people aren't accusing black people of systematically killing them through cop corruption. 

And yes....I have seen MULTIPLE videos of groups like The Black Panthers and members of Black Lives Matter get angry and violent screaming RACIST just because a cop does a random search, or stops to ask what they are doing, etc. I mean, I've been stopped and searched 6 times this past year because I am white and I drive through a black neighborhood everyday on my way to a friends house. White people get profiled all the time. They literally ask me what I'm doing in the neighborhood because they think I'm getting drugs or something. It's by both black and white cops, too. 

Just because cops make assumptions because they are there to prevent crime doesn't mean it's racist is my point. It is their job to make judgements and inspect and question, and if you aren't doing anything illegal, you should be fine.  I even had a cop one time ask me if I was gay because apparently where I was driving was a well known area for gay prostitutes. Lol. Did I scream homophobia? No. Because if cops didn't make these kind of judgements then there would be Alot of chaos happening. 90% of the time if you are just apologetic and respectful to a cop, you'll be fine and let you go. Even if you have weed on you. They just want respect because they put their lives on the line every ****ing day.

black people can hold those views they're called uncle toms 

that 90% statistic you clearly pulled out of your ass, the US police and justice system is extremely corrupt. The KKK has taken refuge within the police
