Yeah, it takes a brave woman to point a powerful man out and chances are she would never make false accusations..., but if we continue with such assumptions, are you sure all women won’t ever make false accusations and ruin an innocent man’s life just for her 15min of fame if it becomes fashionable to do so? Can we really be sure all accusers can only tell the truth and all accused must be guilty? I, for one, would not want the me too movement to keep going without proper due process.
As for BLM, I think we ought to just try to treat each individual cases separately. We shouldn’t have to see all black men as criminals and likewise not see all blue lives as racists. Investigations need more transparency. Cops inadvertently killed somebody need to be put on probation and be retrained or just be fired if truly incompetent. Cops proven to be racists using unnecessary force need to be prosecuted fully and jailed.
JBP is a proponent of individual and hates identity politics. We can improve police competence and race relations one case at a time! We can also empower women and minorities on individual basis without the need to putting down or resent all white men. We are always going to have hierarchies in our society just as not everyone can be F1 world champs, but we all need to play by the same fair rules..., or equal rights. Pushing for equal outcome so that all F1 teams are winners is a ridiculous proposition.
