During the 2016 primary season a Democrat candidate was asked about the Black Lives Matter organization, and he gave the remarkably reasonable answer that all lives matter. Apparently saying such a thing got him branded as a racist since he did not spout the approved gibberish. Saying “black lives matter” is a way of saying that black lives are undervalued, but saying “all lives matter” is also saying that white lives should not be undervalued as well. “Black lives matter” smacks of emotional manipulation so as to support politically motivated unrest. We are assured that black people are insulted by the term “all lives matter,” but I think claiming that they are insulted is an insult to their intelligence.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
I really doubt that MLK would disapprove of the term “all lives matter” since that would seem to be the thrust of his above quote. Do not treat people differently based on their race, but race is such a useful tool for emotional and thereby political manipulation that politicians do not want to give it up. Don Lemon is reputed to have asked Morgan Freeman how to solve the racial problems and was answered with “stop talking about it.” But that's not politically useful. Policies abound that a reasonable person might believe are used to maintain a state of racial tension, from affirmative action to welfare.
This may be part of a psy-op. Constantly degrade a target race with the false narrative that they are subhuman so as to degrade their forcefulness. Germans are constantly bombarded with the memory of Hitler so as to make them docile, and the same may be being done to the white people of western civilization; but by who, and for what? In some places one may be charged with a hate crime just for saying “white lives matter.” Remember, never feel guilt for things you have not done.
"We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us." ~ Vladimir Lenin
There is constant posturing in the political realm, not to mention everyday life, but there doesn't seem to be much evidence of all lives mattering. Putting up a sign that says “white lives matter” is considered an act of racism if not domestic terrorism. Does the life of an unborn baby matter? What if it's just one hour before birth? The abortion issue hinges on whether or not abortion is considered murder, but such considerations are argued to be extremist.
"Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?" ~ Vladimir Lenin

The Black Lives Matter protests were obviously organized, as were the Antifa protests. They had food supplied, medics, “security,” lieutenants in control of sectors, and higher officers on bicycles and cars. Pallets of bricks were dropped off in cities prior to riots with the FBI apparently helpless to track down their origins. The majority of the rioters, probably around 90%, were not local but were brought in from elsewhere, many being criminals. The operations were clearly para-military if not military, for exactly what purpose is and organized by whom was unclear. Rioters were were given cover by protesters who would only protest, while designated rioters would burst forth to burn, destroy and loot. (Only a fraction of BLM personell were black.) The leaders could be spotted by their wearing of earpieces and usually some identifying piece of clothing, recognized by the cognoscenti. The mayors of cities that allowed the riots to continue should be in jail, but they released without charges most of those who looted, burned and committed assault and battery, while charging any who defended themselves or their property.
Who printed the signs?
At the time of this writing the Democrat candidate for vice president of the United States in the governor of Minnesota. He among others allowed the burning and the destruction of much of Minneapolis, and should be in jail for his inaction in the riots, yet he is unscathed in could possibly be our next VP. This tells us all we need to know about the use of the race issue for cynical political usage.
One may note that the rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin ended after the Rittenhouse incident. There was protesting in the daytime the next day, but when night fell there was no more rioting. It might be coincidence, but more likely the realization that many of the locals were carrying firearms and that they could, indeed, be used against the rioters if pushed too far had a chilling effect.
We may be facing another round of such organized riots in the coming months, so be careful to see them for what the are and don't accept the transparent explanations for their existence.

"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses." ~ Vladimir Lenin
"It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain." ~ Vladimir Lenin
"Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism." ~ Vladimir Lenin

The dogma of Lenin has certainly been allowed to shape our society. Are we yet at a point where decent people have had enough of it? Maybe.
It is hard for me to imagine what life is like for a poor black man with no education and no ambition. There was almost universal support for Obama by the black community and most remain convinced that OJ was innocent. I'm not saying they are wrong. I'm just saying that racial traits and instincts motivate us at the most primal and unconscious ways.
Most are aware that BLM and Antifa were supported financially and materially in 2020. When Trump wins in November, we can expect more hijinks.
