“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.
Keep in mind, everyone, jordanlund is the same guy who said he didn’t like BLM because they sometimes inconvenienced him.
No, I don’t like BLM because they only care about black lives when white cops are the perpetrators.
You have a black kid killed somewhere by gang violence? BLM is suddenly fucking silent.

I mean, last time you said it was because they inconvenienced you on the way to work, but I guess that wasn’t racist enough this time?
That was one time, this is speaking in general.
BLM don’t actually care about black lives. They care about the attention.
Talking about a little girl who got killed in a gang shooting won’t drive the clicks, views, and donations.
Did you read either of the links I posted? Here’s the stat you will NEVER hear from BLM:
1 in 40,000 white deaths is a homicide. It’s 1 in 5,000 black deaths.
Why am I the one having to tell you this? Why isn’t BLM shouting it from the rooftops?
It’s because…
Police kill Black people at disproportionate rates
Though nationwide statistics are less readily available, multiple studies have found that police kill Black people at disproportionate rates.
A study in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine in 2016 examined all 812 fatalities that resulted from use of lethal force by on-duty law enforcement from 2009-2012 in 17 states. The study used National Violent Death Reporting System data.
The majority of victims were white people, at 52%, but “black victims were over-represented (32.4%) relative to the U.S. population.” The fatality rate was 2.8 times higher among Black victims than white victims.
So yes, police violence against PoC in the US is overrepresented by almost 3x the rate of white victims. It’s a major issue. Black on black crime is also a major issue but that is also correlated with poverty in general. So they aren’t the same issue at all, and BLM are free to advocate for whatever specific issues they want to focus on, because they can’t possibly have the resources to take action on every form of hateful discrimination that PoC face on a daily basis (like poor access to healthcare and worse treatment than white patients when they do get medical care, to name another couple of examples).

Oh, so you think it’s totally OK to ignore when black people are murdered by people other than white cops? Good to know.

Because you disagree with someone who thinks all black lives matter, not just the ones killed by white cops. Got it.
