Opinion | Black Lives Matter Poisons a Young Athlete’s Mind

American sprinter Noah Lyles holds up his bronze medal at his event’s awarding ceremony at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Aug. 5.Now that the Olympics in Tokyo are over, everyone is talking about its great, unforgettable moments. I watched my fair share of this year’s Olympic Games, and rather doubt I shall remember much about them, apart from one indelible moment.

That sad moment caused a wave of depression of my own. Interesting, is it not, that this is how the Black Lives Matter movement translates itself into the mind of a sensitive, athletically successful, and likable young man such as Mr. Lyles? Is Mr. Lyles misreading the BLM message? Do Americans really “not want” Mr.

One cannot mistake the anger in the utterances of BLM, so different from the thoughtful and measured statements of civil-rights leaders of an earlier day: A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins Sr. , Martin Luther King Jr. , Whitney Young, Bayard Rustin —men who were on the front lines when it was truly dangerous to be there.

Everyone will have his own notion of the specific moment that this happened. For me, living at the time in Little Rock, Ark., and working as director of the city and county’s antipoverty program, it came when a then-prominent member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee named Stokely Carmichael eschewed integration as the goal of the civil-rights movement in favor of Black Power.

opinion BLM. IDIOTS

opinion Is this a joke?

opinion This article just as easily could have been “civil rights movement poisons a young atheletes mind” a hundred years ago. I think it’s pretty obvious that this athlete was discouraged not by the messaging of BLM, but by the circumstances that makes a movement like BLM necessary.

opinion lol right buddy. wtf news do you watch? BLM are marxist corporatists who just took their donations and bought mansions. After an entire summer of chaos, looting and riots for nothing.

opinion Noah Lyles never said BLM poisoned his mind - he said the hate they protested against depressed him Epstein came up with that racist batshit interpretation in his own twisted mind... and printed it

GulliAz He's a flaming This is a hate crime and although few really know the origins of BLM it's no excuse to vandalize or terrorize advocates.
