“The Truth of Black Lives Matter”

“In Unpredictable Protests”

"They see all that is wrong with a justice system they and many others consider deeply unfair" DEC 6 2014
26
The Truth of Black Lives Matter NYT Quote
'Demonstrators chant the phrase are making the same declarations that voting rights and civil rights made...not that black lives matter more but that historically they have not' SEPT 4 2014
27
Argument of Michelle Alexander
Mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow and that all those who care about social justice should fully commit themselves to dismantling this new racial caste system
28
What is the New Jim Crow
Legalised discrimination, labelling Black Americans as criminals, employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of right to vote, denial of educational opportunity - redefined racial caste
29
US Penal system
300,000 to more than 2 million
30
Black men admitted to prison
twenty to fifty times greater than those of white men
31
Mass incarceration refers not only...
to the criminal justice sysem but also to the larger web of laws, rules, policies, and customs
32
Once released from prison there is a...
cruel new stigmatism and laws and regulation to prevent the meaningful re-integration
33
How does Mass Incarceration work
War on Drugs the main vehicle - pressure to plead guilty, got to prison, invisible punishment through discriminated against legally
34
Similarities Jim Crow vs New Jim Crow
``` Sigma and Shame Legalised Political disenfranchisement Exclusion from juries Residential segregation ```
35
Argument of Joe Feagin
``` Systemic Racism (2006): Systemic segregation is entrenched, 90% of the country's history racial oppression, 10% not ```
36
Who is Wesley Lowery
Journalist for Washington Post - his book describes the BLM movement in the context of American and his personal history
37
Who were the leaders of BLM
Alicia Garza Opal Tometi Patrisse Cullors
38
Black Lives Matter is better
thought of as an ideology
39
What sparked Ferguson unrest?
Shooting of Michael Brown by Police officer Darren Willson
40
Wesley Lowery states that
Media couldnt understand the nuances due to the quickly changing nature of the story - the BLM and Ferguson became a rallying call whether they liked it or not
41
Other examples of shootings and BLM
Cleveland - Tamir Rice (2014) and Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams (2012)
42
Clarence Taylor argues that
supports Alexander's analysis and identifies how historically, police and other law enforcement agencies have targeted African Americans and accused them of violating the law
43
Petitt argues that
Many studies and African American economic progress do not even include the large number of black men behind bars
44
Farida Vis et al argues that
Visualisation of connections between the CRM and BLM can function as a means of affirming continuities in US racism and the importance of companies like Twitter to disseminate news
45
What is it to be 'woke'
Politically aware | Hashtag Stay Woke Twitter T-shirt worn by Deray McKesson
46
Who is DeRay McKesson
DeRay McKesson is a celebrity activist
47
What is the analysis of McKesson by Farida Vis et al
McKessons activism is used as a form of self-promotion - use of influencer status to develop and build a public profile Social and mainstream media not grassroots - media visibility
48
Issues with Twitter
Profit driven interests that underpin the sector resulting in a superficial, 'woke, and contradictory engagement with black political culture (Farida Vis et al)
49
What does "When Twitter Got Woke" do?
Looks at the way that live-streaming and media online is able to quickly disseminate information across the internet
50
What does Kyle Booten argue?
The use of hashtag politics is not just a tool of online use but are also themselves objects of political discussion or protests in their own rights
51
Use of hashtag to draw...
attention but also metapolitics - both central and peripheral to the movement
52
There are difficulties in carrying out online activism
as the hashtags can be easily hijacked through use of tweet together to sow discourse
53
Internet Trolls
A person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the internet to distract and sow discourse by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages
54
Issue of All Lives Matter
Rhetorical move towards humanity, but that it insidiously denies or silences the grievances of BLM - can be used to support or antagonise - problematic
55
All lives matter
Hashtag, but has inherently white supremacist connotations
56
When All Lives Matter and Blm shown together
used to support mostly, but when used individually usually not
57
Issues over...
solidarity, MuslimLivesMatter, devisions, precarious
