Vanity Fair and director Rodney Passe present the 8-minute short film “Voices from the Black Lives Matter Protests”, and that pretty much includes all of them recently.
One protester explains something. It goes like this. “You are bent up on property destruction. But if police can come at will at kill us, we
don’t even own our own bodies”. (That
refers to slavery in the past, although he doesn’t say that explicitly.) What good
is your property then? He could have
added, your property is worthless because it is predicated on an unfair system
that victimized us. It’s time for you to
learn what it means to become the victim you despise because of the prejudices
of others.
So this gets very personal. Even so, mainstream journalists and vloggers are paying heed to BLM as an organization when as such (not the movement, just the organization) seems to have Marxist origins. And Marxism (especially Maoism) can turn vengeful.
The Jacob Blair medical condition update was broadcast by the family late today (see Issues Blog).
