Black Lives Matter Releases List of Demands from ‘White People’ While Media Cover Up
[This article — written by Chanelle Helm, the cofounder and core organizer of Black Lives Matter in Louisville, Kentucky — is part of a series of columns covering BLM’s reaction to Charlottesville. Check out the other pieces, including Ricky Jones’ column “Black People Should Arm Themselves Now!” and Erica Rucker’s “America… where are you going?”]
Miss Helm wrote: Some things I’m thinking about that should change (in that Southern, black grandmama voice):
1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.
2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.
3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.
4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.
5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are [sic] racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.
6. White people, re-budget your monthly [income] so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.
7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the [sic] f – – k they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.
8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and [sic] Other lil’ d — -k white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.
9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.
10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.
What these people want is free everything you wonder just why they don’t seem to want jobs to help feed their own kids and provide a home for them because all of them have kids that are all signed up on welfare that the taxpayers support. But for this woman to expect a couple that is downsizing to a smaller home to donate their present home to a family of blacks is insane I have never heard of such a thing being expected after all, the home owner spent years keeping the home up, paying the taxes. This woman and all of the followers of Black Lives Matter need to move to one of the African countries an see how they like it there marching in one of the streets there just might get you killed not to mention that in order to live in any of the African countries now you have to become a Muslim.
Please name one country on this great planet where only Muslims can live.
Try any of the Muslim countries and even places where there sizable Islamic communities that have become no go zones!
All lives matter. Not just black lives. Why should I give anything that I’ve worked for to someone that won’t work. I’ll teach a man to fish so he can eat everyday, but I won’t give a man a fish so he can eat one day. Working is important for self esteem and character building. Working gives a person self pride, as well as a financial foundation. If black lives want to build true, healthy pride within their communities, they need to encourage people to stop having illegitimate babies, have the fathers remain in the home, use their education, go to work and EARN a living. Stop waiting for handouts! Where is your
pride?!
Let’s consider these two reasons and why such demands from “Black lives matter” are so hypocritical. The proponents of this racist movement seem willingly ignorant to consider or do anything about the black on black murders within the black communities of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and St. Louis that proves that black lives really don’t matter. “It is tempting to say in response to this latest [statistical] data, drearily repetitive of everything that went before it, that ‘white lives matter.’ Of course that statement would be “racist”. But it is precisely accurate in response to the disproportionate criminality among the black population that the police are deployed in much higher numbers in black neighborhoods, where they are trying to save innocent lives. There are thousands of law-abiding inner-city blacks who live by bourgeois values and who need protection from criminals. Only the police are willing to provide that protection. Their mantra could be ‘black lives matter.’ The 200 or so reported killings of blacks by police officers — nearly all justified — pale in comparison to the 6,000 or so killings of blacks by other blacks” [as of 2013].

Such bullshit. Whining lil girl. Grow up BLM..stop expecting everything to be handed to you just because you THINK we ‘vanilla faces’ hate you.
First I want the libs to start doing the demands and see where it goes, giving property to any person that cannot maintain it (not buy it) pay the taxes cut the lawn pay utilities is a waste and will go to blight. If the libs give it to any people of color first be sure they can afford to attend to it, that means somebody with a job
. As for reparations for anything, the Europeans and north/west Africans also need to get ready for reparations…they started the slave trade along with muslims.
Such tragedy as hurricane Harvey caused, yet behind the scenes hidden from view, stories of caring about one’s neighbor ..Amazing thing is these neighbors were treated them as Americans, neither Black or white, race was placed on a shelf, though tragedy even for a short time, stood as Americans, caring for Americans, no racial divide, no Hate,no superior attitudes,..it’s JUST astounding we can’t be this way everyday ,not JUST during disastrous tragedies
Black people are sooo stupid ;DDDDD White aswell but we are not writing such shitty things.
I have a list for BLM.
1, LOOK AFTER YOUR OWN KIDS.
2, GET EMPLOYED, AND NO DRUG DEALING IS NOT A JOB.
3, WORK FOR YOUR TAX PAYERS HANDOUTS.
4, SHOW SOME RESPECT.YOU WONDER WHY HARD WORKING PEOPLE DISLIKE YOU.
5, SCHOOL YOUR CHILDREN THAT THE WORLD DOES NOT OWE YOU A LIVING.
6, STOP STEELING / ROBBING IT IS NOT YOUR RIGHT.
7, STOP WITH THE BREEDING, FUCK, MORE KIDS DOES NOT MEAN MORE MONEY.
8, START ACTING LIKE HUMANS,APES IN THE WILD DONT ACT UP LIKE YOU.
9, YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEMAND,IF YOU WORK AND PAY TAX, THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THOESE WHO DEMAND, YOU WILL SEE WHAT A BUNCH OF BASTARDS THAY ARE.
10, CLAIMING THAT THE COPS SHOOT BLACKS IS RACIEST IS WRONG, YOU WANT TO CARRY UN LICENCED GUNS BECAUSE YOU IS A GANSTER, YOUR OWN FAULT.
I totally agree. I am making plans to downsize and donate half of my income through the reparations website meeting requests. It is only fair that black people live off our work for a change just as we have lived off theirs. I can see the right of these demands. As for a house I don’t own one and since I will be giving them half of my income I won’t be able to save for buying one- which if I were, I agree I should bequeath it to a black family. Or let them move in and be their servant.
