You're being too kind. Anyone with half of a functioning brain knows the the term "black lives matter" doesn't mean that "ONLY black lives matter".

The only people that get that upset over BLM slogans are overt or closet white racists.

Period.

If the KKK was a black organization they would be named by the US government as a terrorist group and their right to speech and assembly in public places wouldn't exist, as it should be with these white supremacist groups. The US needs to stop defending and giving safe haven to these terrorists the same way they don't provide it for ISIS members and Al Qaeda.
Blacks perpetrate more violence against whites in this country in one year than these KKK type groups have perpetrated against blacks since their inception. Get real! Look at the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Look at some facts instead of being led around by the nose!

Sounds like a protest looking for a problem, next up hedge fund managers march on IRS complaining about taxes.

Default 'White Lives Matter' protest coming to Texas A&M University on September 11

It'll be a hot time in the old town that night.

To be fair... BLM have a PR problem... While the intent is "BLM too" certain groups that identify as BLM are not sticking to message allowing others to leverage that media coverage to define BLM as anti white and anti cop. It may not be true but perceptions is everything when it comes to organized movement,

We do not police thought... One is allowed to think another is racist or a supremist. To insinuate that white supremacists simply do not want to be thought as a racist and leave it that is disingenuous.

They want a lot more than a change in image and reputation... A lot more...

That poster saying that their free speech wouldn't be "tolerated" can mean many things. I took it to mean that other, non-racist Americans, we will use our own free speech to counter what white supremacist are saying.

Do you feel that we should not? Do people not have a right to counter the free speech of others?
Nope..not what I'm saying at all..I'm saying that when confrontation is clearly the goal..when any reasonable person can see that violence will result---to continue is a reckless act---that could lead to a jail sentence..in the right/wrong circumstances.

I asked if that was counterproductive?

I completely support free speech--odd though...that any party could say the same things they have to say..on different days, at different venues--yet both sides yearn for confrontation. Why is that confrontation the only way to exercise your rights?
