Devious Black Lives Matter extremists prey on the vulnerable
STATEMENT
There’s a very stark difference between black lives matter and Black Lives Matter.
And it’s not just the capitalisation.
Black lives matter refers to the notion that those who have darker skin due to the race to which they happen to be born, are valued and respected as human beings. I have always agreed with this view, just like I strongly believe every person, no matter what the colour of their skin, should be valued by society.
On the other hand, Black Lives Matter is an activist organisation that claims to promote “black lives matter” but actually proves through divisive speech and indiscriminate violence that all lives are expendable in their campaign to destroy democracies, conservative politics and families.
The use of the words black lives matter by Black Lives Matter is devious from what is an extreme political organisation that preys on those in society that feel neglected and marginalised. It is wrong for any organisation that claims to work for a better society to then go about manipulating and stirring up the vulnerable to do their dirty work, potentially risking their lives.
Here is the blunt truth: BLM is nobody’s friend. Any parent who loves their children and sees them mixed up with BLM needs to steer them away from this organisation quick smart. For their own good.
The BLM organisation has among its aims the disruption of the traditional family structure. It is anti-men and anti-father. It opposes the view that people are born either male or female. It supports defunding police services and is responsible globally for violence, assaults and the destruction of public property and businesses.
It has been heart-breaking to see disenfranchised youth being brainwashed by this organisation and the media, to take up risky causes that will only hurt them in the long run.
Senator Roberts and I made clear recently that Indigenous deaths in custody are fewer per 1000 prisoners than the number of non-Indigenous deaths. Also, in 2017-18, 79% of indigenous deaths in prison custody were from natural causes.
These figures are alarming and must be addressed, but they don’t provide support to the claims that motivate Black Lives Matter protestors in Australia.
It has mostly escaped the media that I am very active in meeting Indigenous Australians on their home turf. In the past 12 months, I’ve met the council at Bamaga on Cape York, travelled to the Torres Strait and met with both councils representing Queenslanders living in that area, met with traditional elders at Uluru in the Northern Territory, and spoken with locals at Burketown and Doomadgee in the remote Queensland Gulf Country. I also meet with Indigenous constituents who live in cities and towns across Queensland.
In Canberra, I have held discussions with delegations from the Far North Queensland Regional Organisations of Councils. I was also sought out for meetings by a group of Indigenous women who feel my no-fuss approach to their problems and solutions are affective. They spoke personally about the poverty, abuse and suicide that are among the troubling issues facing Aboriginal communities.
These problems will not go away until we acknowledge the issues and actually work together to implement programs that help – beginning with ensuring young Aboriginal children go to school and get a complete education that they can use to build careers, businesses and meaningful lives.
Yes, black lives do matter; this is wrapped up in my belief that all our lives matter.
