Black Lives Matter Bashes Christmas as “White” Holiday

So, I was curious if there was more context to this statement. So I did a little research. This is my take. If someone is more knowledgeable about NOI, maybe you would fill in some of the blanks. Yes, BLM Atlanta tweeted this. The tweet linked to this article: here

The article is an excerpt from a 1974 piece written by a follower of Master Fard Muhammad, a leader of the Nation of Islam, an oft-criticized group whose views, how to say? don't necessarily represent the beliefs of black Americans or of Islamic believers. From my POV as a Christian I think he's got his theology on Jesus wrong. But I don't know that I should expect us to believe the same on Jesus or on Christian observances.

My take is this is one tweet by one person. But is it at all possible that it represents the thoughts of someone who has never really found himself represented in culture?

I believe it is still appropriate to link up arms with those who find themselves in disadvantage in society and fight racism and oppression at any opportunity. There is plenty of work to do on that front.

Rainbow, just about everything you put on here, everything you link to, is about discord, or conflict, or some perceived injustice. You must spend your days in a state of agitation and resentment at the whole world. What makes you happy? What makes you switch off from the dregs of the Internet, and stop worrying about the perceived threat around every corner? 

Quite frankly, I'm not sure how rainbow bunny stretched what you posted into her response.

Once Again she's making huge leaps and assumptions but as one who has been around and knows her M.O., I would have guessed correctly that the post was to be controversial and somehow jump on anyone liberal, because her threads usually do.

This is my experience as well. 

they are NOT a hate group. This place amazes me sometimes. White people study up on what is going on. NOT A HATE GROUP. And Rainbow, I should've blocked you long ago. You love drama. You create problems. You are just a chronic pot-stirrer. You offer nothing. I'm so done.

Wrong.

Unless you are one who thinks beating/killing/maiming black persons senseless OR that you support unequal punishments for the same crimes as, say a white person...is a-ok.

The BLM can and has brought awareness that has Been absent or non-existent.

Sitting here, drinking my coffee in my brand new Christmas mug, wondering why I opened this thread.

I'll just keep humming'peace on Earth goodwill to man.'

Except he didn't win in a landslide.  He lost the popular vote by 2.9M.  He will be entering office with the lowest approval rating in modern history.

Just in the last couple of days written stories have come out about:

* A case has been made that dum dum can create a nuclear catastrophe with one tweet.

* He can't shut down his foundation until the State of New York finishes their investigation of wrong doing on the part of the foundation.  (Cynical me thinks this is a trump diversion trying steer people away from his real conflict of interests.  His businesses.)

*  He is not all that successful of a businessman.  He couldn't make it by building stuff or running things so about 10 years ago he started selling his brand.

*  trump and his executives were known to destroy documents and emails even when  told not to by the courts when they were being sued.

*  Edited to add a story I just read if it's possible there is nothing that can be done to prevent donald trump's presidency from turning the US into an autocratic state. (Look how quickly he strikes at those he thinks aren't being nice to him.)

That is just what I read today.  Yea dum dum is a real winner, someone this country should be proud of as its new tweeter-in-chief.

That would make that video fall under the category of fake news.   

Rainbow is just an attention whore on this board. Sad that she must be lacking something in her personal life.

Rainbow, I sure wish that you would come over to my thread about happy moments and share something that gave you joy this holiday season. I always appreciate when you share happy moments you've had with your daughter.

PSA: The more you feed into the "attention seeking", the more it continues. Just sayin'!
