I saw this tweet at the time when I was taking a break from reading Days of Rage where the following quote from Eldridge Cleaver was cited:
This book was a mega bestseller, named as one of the best books of the year by NYTimes. The Black Panthers are celebrated as heroes by the Left, specifically at my university this semester where every freshman must read a book glorifying them.
In more recent times: Jacob Blake was shot by police after beginning to turn towards them with a knife in his hand. Originally, the police were there to arrest him for domestic violence and sexual assault. Yet the left declared him a hero, ignoring the woman he abused, and cheered when he got out of jail.
At least George Floyd didn’t die while getting arrested for harassing that very same woman. The Jacob Blake case is so egregious to me, even moreso than most of these trumped up hullabaloos.

I had a friend who used to called BLM “men’s rights activism for black guys.”

That’s just wrong. It was a movement founded by and for black women. And it benefitted them the most. Though part of the reason is because there are more professional class black women than black men (who love going to jail lol).

Outside of professional activists, what black women are benefiting from more violent black men bring on the street?

Who said the purpose of BLM was to benefit the average black man or woman on the street? It was for the black professional managerial class to gain even more (undeserved) power, prestige, and wealth. Which they did.
Next you’ll be asking why the DSA isn’t popular with blue-collar americans. Don’t they claim to be all about labor? lol.
That’s exactly my point, which you seem to be missing

Let’s not forget Beverly Axelrod, the jewish activist who made this happen. Something tells me she wouldn’t have done this if he was fantasizing about raping jewish women.

I don’t like that I’ve become a Noticer™, but it’s impossible to unsee things once you see them. Every insane civil rights policy, every strike against the american way of life, guess who’s behind it.

Liberals actually do bellieve that. One of most heart-wrenching stories that exemplify this principle that I have come across.
While everyone is justifiably focusing on the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska I would like to remind you of the story of Cannon Hinnant, a 5-year-old boy who was murdered in cold blood. He was killed by his neighbor, a black man named Darius Sessoms for the crime of riding up to him on his bicycle.
Sessoms would later claim that he shot Cannon because he called him “the n-word” an obvious lie that was somehow supposed to justify this horrific violence..
And the amazing thing is it worked on Cannon’s mother who felt compelled to run out and ensure the public that her son was not racist.
Her son was dead from the bullet of an unhinged maniac, but her first concern was to assure everyone that Cannon had not committed blasphemy.

You see this so consistently with b-on-w violence. I don’t think it’s entirely organic. I think when the county team goes to notify the family, they come with a sales pitch for making sure whatever public statement happens afterward fits the “de-escalating racial tensions” template. Makes law enforcement’s job easier.
It’s also dishonest.
But I think this is a thing that is happening in these cases. Some of them are just brainwashed and feel the need to protect themselves from the “racism” mob. But I think most of them have been coached, and possibly threatened, something along the lines of “Stick to this script or your whole family will be trashed in the media and on the internet, and you’ll never recover your reputation or qualify for a good job again without this haunting you. And you might be subject to racially-motivated retaliatory violence too.”
Kid, you might be interested in current racist behavior in academia in Canada. It worries me, and I don’t scare easy. The first is the how she was fired, the second is a mob attempt to intimidate her.

Btw, just yesterday saw on the front page of one Israeli newspaper an article of one family which “decided to relocate, but returned to Israel after understanding that when press warns about the targets of terrorists – those targets are us.”
British police have recorded 3,282 anti-Semitic attacks against Jews across the country since October 7.
Israel estimates that Hamas orchestrated the attacks at home and abroad.
They decided to use Yom Kippur too:
The IDF clarifies that contrary to the statements of the organizers of the pro-Hamas flotilla, all ships were detained and none reached Gaza.
The expected arrival time in Ashdod is between 12:00 and 13:00. About 40 ships will arrive gradually at the Ashdod base.
The interception went calmly and without the use of force.The main difficulty was the size of the flotilla, which forced the IDF and the navy to deploy hundreds of soldiers into the open sea on the eve of Yom Kippur.
