Why don't you read this and learn about institutional racism and the governmental policies that shaped today's reality in Ferguson (and many other places in the country.)

In our part of the country, BLM stands for Bureau of Land Management. I thought it was an anti government thing.

You must be proud...
I'm proud to not do what the current trend is with conservatives -- what ever a liberal says, just reverse it, whether it's true or not.

And further more, if you actually read my posts on BLM, you'd see I'm not praising them and have been critical of them.

Keep your blinders on. It makes for entertaining reading.

Per the FBI definition:



They hide behind social media online. If they're in person, they hide in groups with the threat of violence. When confronted, they cry racism.

This "movement" needs to go away sooner rather than later.

In addition to blaming the idiots themselves, I also blame the race baiting, agenda driven media for all the BS behind this "movement."
100% true.

All very interesting... and not one BLM protestor has ever read that article or knows anything about any of the items it discusses.

BLM is a fabricated movement based on a fabricated claim ("hands up, don't shoot"). It's a tool created by subversive groups like RevCom to create social unrest and anxiety in an effort to upend our current system. RevCom couldn't care less about black lives.

You make it easy when almost every accusation that comes out of the mouth of a Leftist is an exercise in psychological projection.

BLM is a lot like Occupy. Hashtag activism that expanded into the real world. A good idea with all sorts of people attaching themselves. There is no one owner or one vision. It is a loose umbrella of ideas. Some people are seasons activists, some crazies just want attention and other people are trying to figure out the best way to take action on a complicated set of issues.

Attributing anything to the "movement" is futile as it is more like an amoeba than a pyramid.

That's at least partly true, but it doesn't lend them any legitimacy.

You do pretty well at throwing out accusations, as well. Take just your last post. How do you know that "not one BLM protestor has ever read that article or knows anything about any of the items it discusses"?
But even beyond that, it's just your way of putting down the protesters. Because guess what -- far less than 1% of Americans have read articles by the Economic Policy Institute. In fact, I doubt that you could find 1% of all Americans who have even heard of the Economic Policy Institute. It's for nerds. Nothing wrong with nerds. Nothing wrong with the article. But it's wrong to use not reading the article as a way to put people down, because almost no one has read that article.
