The 'Black Lives Matter' movement is over,

No.

"#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer.

Speaking of Trayvon, here's a little something most people missed a few
years ago. Here it is again, just to refresh a few memories: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erwin, Tennessee, is where my mother's side of the family is from. It became
an all-White town after all the blacks were run out in 1918 following the murder of a White girl, so imagine my surprise when I saw this on YouTube:

"Actual LIVE VIDEO from Justice for Trayvon Martin Rally in ERWIN, TN, July
20, 2013": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vea0RoZ1uPc

That video HAD to be a joke. The 1990 census listed ZERO blacks living in
the town of 5,015. As for Unicoi County, blacks accounted for less than
0.1% of the population. Erwin is a railroad town, and Grandpa and his three brothers all worked for the railroad, so when the daughter of a railroad official fell victim to a "negro fiend", I highly doubt that they weren't
part of the mob.

From contemporary accounts:

"In 1918, unrestrained, ghoulish, mob violence eradicated the Negro
population in Unicoi County."

"Tom Devert, Negro, grabbed a fifteen year old white girl as she and her
young brother walked along the railroad tracks near the Nolichucky River.
When Devert tried to swim across the river with the girl, he was shot twice through the head with a "44" by one of four men playing poker nearby. One of the men pulled the Negro's body from the water and tied it to a locomotive.
It was then dragged one and one-half miles to the railroad power house. A
large mob gathered and the entire Negro population, estimated at between 60
and 70 persons, was forced to watch the proceedings. Men piled cross ties
and sticks on the dead man, poured oil over the wood, and then set it afire. "L. H. Phetteplace, general manager of the Clinchfield Railroad Company, interceded when the mob moved towards the Negro shacks with the intention of burning them. The homes were not burned but the Negroes were ordered to
leave the county. Law enforcement officers were present the entire time and offered no interference."

The girl drowned or had been choked to death. The man shot him "by resting
the gun in the crotch of his crooked arm, firing at a range of several
hundred feet."[Meanwhile, they don't know his name or any of the four!] "All the Negro population, some 60 or 70, were summoned from their houses and
made to line up, while men gathered wood, cross ties, and sticks and piled
them over the dead body....The crowd lingering until far into the night to watch the burning. No attempt at concealment was made on the part of any participant...There was no interference on the part of the officers...The populace inflamed against the negro and all others of his race, are said to have threatened to burn the negro quarters, but were dissuaded by General Manager L. H. Phettaplace of the C. C. and O. Ry., who sought to stop them
from their acts. However, all negroes were ordered to leave the town by
members of the party, and it is said that the exodus set in early last
night, and that today there are few left in Erwin."
["Triple Tragedy at Erwin on Sunday When Negro Runs Wild," Johnson City
Daily, 5/20/1918.]

"Judge R. M. Barry, addressing a Red Cross meeting this morning, urged the citizens to let alone innocent colored people and stopped what promised to
be an exodus of that race." This source says four shots were fired.
"Men with pistols, shotguns, and clubs stood before the lined up negroes to prevent their running away, and as the last cross tie and the last dash of
oil was thrown on the heap one of the men is reported to have turned to the cowering crowd and said, 'Watch what we are going to do here. If any of you
are left in town by tomorrow night, you will meet the same fate.'"
"This morning there was apparently no attempt at concealment of the participants in the event. Feeling continued to run high against all
negroes, many of whom had left town through the night, while others were gathering their effects together for departure before nightfall."
"During the holding of a Red Cross rally which followed a parade this
morning Judge Barry made a forceful and eloquent appeal to desist from
further violence and to allow the remaining negroes to live in the city.
There were a few negroes here tonight, and the city was quiet."

Herald, 5/21/1918.]

Eventually the mob was talked down and there was no more violence. But the entire black population was gone by the next day.

And so it remains in Unicoi County. Today, in the most recent census, its racial makeup is 97.96 percent white. Out of a population of over 17,000,
only 12 black people -- 0.07 percent -- remain.

Proof that ethnic cleansing works...
