The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize following a year in which protests demanding racial justice exploded across the world.
Norwegian MP Petter Eide said in his nomination papers that the movement had forced countries other than the US to face up to racism within their own societies.
“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality,” Mr Eide said, according to The Guardian.
“Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice. They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.”

The Nobel, just like many other formerly prestigious awards, means nothing anymore. It's another form of political messaging and nothing more. To even think about giving the Nobel to such a cause is unbelievably inane. It defies all logic, unless, of course, you understand the point of such awards is no longer to identify immense, notable contributions to mankind but to grant legitimacy to politically favored individuals and organizations.

This is from an onion or babylon bee types of publication right? BLM - peaceful??? Fairly certain 1000's of small business owners would disagree, The families of officers doing their jobs would disagree, The millions of dollars in damage to peoples homes, property, and livlihoods disagree. You can have a noble cause, but the truth is, a movement will be defined by the actions taken in its name.
People want to tar and hold every Trump supporter responsible for the capital riot, then , by extension, every riot done at a BLM protest can and will be held to the same standard, and forever stain the movement. That is equality, welcome to it.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I am not scorning who I am. But, the premise of peace us not entirely correct. There were some peaceful gatherings and many horrific gatherings filled with destruction. It does not validate the Negro American community to assign prestigious lies to the madness. I do not recall any significant civil rights figures, their designees, or surviving family members in the forefront of this movement.
