...That the bigoted whites on this forum constantly make these bull threads about Black people and what we do, why we do it, etc. They are obsessed, but won't admit it.

By the way, that snarky attitude will get you in trouble in real life around not just Black people, but anybody with a shred of empathy.


I have got along just fine with that "snarky" attitude for 66 years hon. Served in the military and worked with black people most of my life. We seemed to get along just fine. Its called respect.

All lives matter. Some lives matter more then others. That is the rub.


Too bad ".. the Liberty and Justice for All" part is still a work in progress. The reality is "..Liberty and Justice for those that can afford it."

Why support a group who undermined that movement???

Do you really think BLM is effective? Do you really look at them as leaders??

Honestly the Black Lives Matter supporters could never defend the org. Hurt the cause. Undermined the economic plans.


Black Lives Matter supporters are the worst.

But this isn't the military, though. This is the civilian world.

Maybe in your heyday and environment it may have been acceptable, but this isn't 66 years ago. That will not fly in 2017.

Because Trump won, BLM will continue on because they will be funded and supported.

They were this election years "CIndy Sheehan" and had they outlived their usefullness at the ballot box they'd have had their financial plug pulled.

Instead, what will happen is that as unfair treatment continues in the same large predominantly democratic areas they'll use BLM to try to pin it on Trump where as Obama got a pass due to pigmentation and party loyalties.

I'm still astounded that Laquan McDonald could be murdered in Chicago, covered up for a year, finally the city gets caught covering it up with pay-offs and a day before the press can break the story decide to charge the cop. Police Chief? Retired, full pension. New Police Chief? Long time member of the CPD? Mayor? Untouched.

I support BLM but they're nothing more than a political puppet when their worst enemy in terms of cities with the worst minority abuses are the ones controlling them.

He got no pass.

Obama's non reaction is a contributing factor for Hillary losing.

They protested right in front of Rahm's house.

I thought it was pretty clear. BLM insists black criminals never be arrested for any crime they commit. THat white people are to blame for them not being rich or successful. And they want police officers dead. Oh and they insist on the opportunity to loot businesses, burn neighborhoods and riot without consequences.
