Question

HOW dose the Black lives matters movement performing resistance ? What dose that form of resistance mean to them ?

Answer 1

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people.

The movement aims to fight for the rights of the people who are discriminated on the basis of their colour of their skin.

A slogan was given "ALL LIVES MATTER" which means to communicate the message that all the people of the nation should be treated equally.

The movement was fragmented. One of the more contentious splits has been between Movement for Black Lives co-founders and another group called We The Protesters, led by high-profile activist DeRay McKesson.

• The reason for the resistance is the kind of harsh behaviour being shown by the government towards the activists who are fighting for the rights of those who are being exploited on the name of colour.
• So far this year, police have shot and killed 23 unarmed people, a higher rate than in 2016, when 48 unarmed people were killed all year. Both years, about one in three of those people has been black.
• The government itself is trying to challenge the goals of the movement.
• The movement has forced the women to come out of their houses and roam on the streets to participate in the movement .

Still, the movement’s impact has been visible in some communities. In recent controversial encounters between police and unarmed black people, law enforcement has responded faster and with more regret than seen in years past.
