One term the BLM has deserved is that it is in the extortion racket.
Definition of extortion
1: the act or practice of extorting especially money or other propertyespecially : the offense committed by an official engaging in such practice
2: something extorted especially : a gross overcharge
Extortion legal definition of extortion
Under the Common Law, “…extortion is a misdemeanor consisting of an unlawful taking of money by a government officer. It is an oppressive misuse of the power with which the law clothes a public officer. Most jurisdictions have statutes governing extortion that broaden the common-law definition.”
A better description is (for once) offered by Wkileaks:
Extortion – Wikipedia
“Extortion (also called shakedown, and, in a legal sense incorrectly, exaction) is obtaining benefit through coercion. In most jurisdictions it is likely to constitute a criminal offense; the bulk of this article deals with such cases. Robbery is the simplest form of extortion.”
Why limit the practice of extortion to government? but exclude BLM? After all, Extortion is the act of extorting —using violence, threats, intimidation, or pressure from one’s authority to force someone to hand over money (or something else of value) or do something they don’t want to do. There are instances of BLM demanding “protection” money from businesses and promising not to destroy or loot them them. The description here certainly fits the actions of BLM (working with Antififa), and BLM’s extortion racket is nationwide (from Louisville to Seattle, to the Fortune 500.
The extortion is not merely of a threat to one’s property, but is a “moral” threat of branding people of being “racists” if compliance is not forthcoming, immediate and “sincere,” demonstrated by kneeling, bowing, raising one’s hands, begging for forgiveness, looking contrite, and perhaps chanting in unison “Mea Culpa” in expressions of alleged guilt for “oppressing” blacks and other minorities, even though many of the whites in these examples perhaps never had a “racist” thought in their lives.
The corporate record of donating to and supporting BLM is indicative of Wall Street’s surrender to BLM. Corporate obeisance to BLM is more a matter of virtue-signaling combined with expediency (if they donate enough money and express public support of it, their subsidiary and affiliated properties may be spared looting and destruction – I stress may be, though the videos of BLM in action largely depict small businesses being wrecked or destroyed, and certainly show how empty such promises have been.)
So, what is the concrete difference between the diners in Washington raising their hands in support of BLM, and bowing to the thugs haranguing them, and corporate submission to it?
No difference. They’ve all been made offers they dare not refuse.
