BLM nominated for Nobel Peace price

#1

What in the actual hell?

Norwegian member of parliament Petter Eide said he nominated the organization because it is "bringing forward a new consciousness and awareness about racial justice."


"To carry forward a movement of racial justice and to spread that to other countries is very, very important. Black Lives Matter is the strongest force today doing this, not only in the U.S. but also in Europe and in Asia," Eide told USA TODAY on Saturday.

Eide said Black Lives Matter carries forward the legacy of earlier racial justice movements, such as the civil rights movement in the U.S. and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, and Albert Luthuli and Nelson Mandela won the prize in 1960 and 1993, respectively, for their campaigns against racial discrimination in South Africa.

"If we go 50 years back, those arguments also came up when Dr. Martin Luther King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 – exactly the same arguments. And when twice the (African National Congress) leaders of South Africa received the Nobel Peace Prize, there were also incidents of violence. But you can’t use that as a counter-argument to say Mandela was not working for justice or peace."

So I guess the marxist ideology is something we should strive for? It makes the world a better place?

The NPP has been a watered down joke ever since they decided to award Obama with one.

Apparently there's a new definition of ''peace", of which I'm unaware.

BLM? No.

Is this a surprise to anyone? The NPP undermined its own credibility and laid their ideological biases bare when they bypassed truly deserving people to give the prize to Obama for simply drawing breath.

I would be more amazed if they didn't award one to BLM.

I guess Obama's win is so far removed from my memory that I forget he even did.
