Pretty cool

Racist BLM nominated for nobel peace prize. I'm not spreading fake news. This is real. After 100+ days of arson and looting, the world as it stands right now is crazy enough to suggest these sub-lives should be rewarded for their mayhem.

That's the clown world we are living through.

But, there will be and end to it. Just don't know when.

Yeah, the people who think awarding peace prizes to violent marxists is nuts are the ones we should worry about. Makes sense.

'Eide, however, said he didn’t want his nomination for Black Lives Matter to be seen as a comment on domestic US politics. And he dismissed criticism from rightwing voices that the group had been behind violence in US cities. “Studies have shown that most of the demonstrations organised by Black Lives Matter have been peaceful,” he said. “Of course there have been incidents, but most of them have been caused by the activities of either the police or counter-protestors.”

Data assembled by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project in September 2020 showed that 93% of Black Lives Matter demonstrations involved no serious harm to people or property'

I will concede, the majority of BLM ONLY protests have been mostly peaceful. However, antifa is almost always in tow (even though genuine grassroots BLM activists hate those cunts). And antifa ALWAYS causes trouble, because they are chickenshit punks who pick on the weakest targets they can find. That said, plenty of BLM "protests" have been full blown riots and to deny that is to shut your eyes to the reality. It may be important to deny it so you can keep a false narrative alive, but that doesn't change the actual reality. I doubt any of your typical virtue signallers (or cowards, to put it more accurately) are even aware of what BLM stands for. They think it's just about racial equality, because they are too lazy of stupid to do even the most basic research. BLM is not about racial equality, far from it. It's about racial inequality and it stands against just about everything a typical western civilian would identify with.

Even if you could say BLM are 33% peaceful, or 57% peaceful, or argue the toss - they are not 100% peaceful, so how the fuck can they be nominated for the peace prize? Just listen to what you are trying to push dude. It's fucking ridiculous. Snap out of it.

hey everyone! NQ said "i concede"

but seriously, anyone can be NOMINATED for something - I'm sure you wouldn't condone the NPP organisers saying that certain people were banned from being nominated ... ??

i agree whether or not it's actually awarded needs careful thinking about, but that's not the point here
