Black Lives Matter Wins Global Peace Prize for Championing Justice and Equality

The Black Lives Matter social justice movement has been recognized with a global peace prize that in the past has highlighted the work of South African civil rights activist Desmond Tutu, renowned philosopher Noam Chomsky and former Irish President Mary Robinson.

The Sydney Peace Foundation announced last week it will give Black Lives Matter its 2017 peace prize during a ceremony scheduled in November for Sydney. The award recognizes the work of the founding leaders of the social justice activist network, Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi, who began working together after Florida neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 in the shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin.

Man I know this is not going to end well.

Yep...Should have started with something a little less controversial like abortion, Jesus, or Trump......

Pretty big thread for having a "shooter" as the OP...

What a difference a year makes.
Was the OP shootered in this thread?

If I remember correctly, it was someone previously banned who slipped back in.

Just checking in, do we have a consensus yet? I'm kind of partial to 'PC-shaming shake-down organization'

Yes, but you can get most any product or service from any number of providers, so why should 'social justice' shakedowns be any different? After all, Jesse, Al, and the DNC can only be so many places at the same time.

There appears to be some dissention in the Sacramento chapter of BLM, with rank and file demanding the woman in charge resign over allegations of "abuse" and "toxicity."

The drama unfolded last week when 29 activists co-signed a letter denouncing Tanya Faison, who founded BLM Sacramento in 2015. They alleged “patterns of abuse” and “wide-ranging harm and manipulation which has significantly and negatively impacted chapter and community members.”

“She has chosen to criticize and vilify people expressing concerns or dissent and to lay blame upon individuals who left the chapter over her irresponsible and authoritarian leadership,” the condemnation reads. “We will no longer be associated with Tanya Faison within the Sacramento Chapter of Black Lives Matter.”

I'm surprised they're even around at all now. I thought they'd gone the way of the TEA Party. Once they're no longer in the MSM/political limelight, they just fade away.

BLM is a communist / socialist front organization of useful idiots.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of this case.

Though, I don't see it as any sort of landmark 1A case. More accurately, Doe claimed a specious 1A argument, and the courts (with Willett's judicial recant) have basically said, "there's no 1A issue here."
