Black Lives Matter awarded a global peace prize
[CIRCA] The Black Lives Matter movement will receive a global peace prize from the Sydney Peace Foundation
...according to their website, "The Sydney Peace Foundation was founded in 1998 to promote public interest in peace, justice and universal human rights. It is a not-for-profit organisation at the University of Sydney and is supported by the City of Sydney."
at a ceremony in Sydney in November, Newsweek reported.
Newsweek still exists? I really must pay more attention.
The award will specifically highlight the work of the founding leaders of the activist network, Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi.

Past honorees of the award include South African civil rights activist Desmond Tutu, philosopher Noam Chomsky, and former Irish President Mary Robinson.
..conventional SJW choices who have furthered various kinds of evil in the world...
"This is the first time that a movement and not a person has been awarded the peace prize -- a timely choice," the Sydney Peace Foundation said when announcing the award. "Climate change is escalating fast, increasing inequality and racism are feeding divisiveness, and we are in the middle of the worst refugee crisis since World War II. Yet many establishment leaders across the world stick their heads in the sand or turn their backs on justice, fairness and equality."

#4 If they started a South African version called White Lives matter (to deal with the organised state-sponsored mass murder of whites) do you think they would win a prize?

#5 Any accolades extended Bishop Desmond Tutu (the Red Arch) should be assumed to be communist inspired. Des is a constant, as opposed to a variable.

#8 "Climate change is escalating fast..."

Bullshit. I am more than a little sick of how widespread this unsubstantiated nonsense has been accepted.
