These people said things that were fair and legitimate, yet they were fired for it. At least Linked In didn't fire their employees that gave pretty much the same legitimate gripes in their version of a company town hall on racism.

Never trust anyone, they are snakes and will knife you in the back.

This was part of their plan. They declare that they want open dialogue to encourage some to speak out, then terminate the dissenters. They want to ensure complete uniformity of ideology. The firing of the employees chills future dissent and now they have won.

This is your new America.

All lives matter.
Do you feel the same about breast cancer foundations? They think all other caners don't matter?

What about the wounded warriors project? Do they think they hate everyone that is not a wounded vet?

Trying to help a sub-population that has a particular need is not the same as hating everyone else.

I also have a feeling you have no problem with the phase "Blue Lives Matter".

But black people are not sick or handicapped. They are just black people, just, people. Of course they matter like all people.

It would be weird if people marched around yelling breast cancer matters and burning things, calling other cancers names and beating up people who talk about prostate or kidney cancer.

You can make the claim that there is no racial inequality in policing and the justice system, I don't agree, but that is another story. But to pretend that saying BLM is somehow a racist to everyone not black is disingenuous. Also pretending that an people working for equality in policing and the justice system hate everything American is also disingenuous.

Do I like everything that has been carried out in the name of BLM? NO. I support things like the peaceful protests, the murals, and getting involved in the pollical system.

I also do like everything that has been carried out by our country, but I believe we can do better and it talking movements like BLM to get there.

Your statement about beating everyone up is hyperbole; not based on fact.

The more the better.

The fewer of lawless, low achieving minorities who contribute little to no taxes per capita the better.

That's not a good idea any more.

In some of the more woke circles silence now equals compliance with racism.

Make it clear you agree with whatever they're telling you. Even if you don't.

Silence is violence is a way to guilt people. Silence is silence, violence is violence. Silence is not violence. Show me the violent act before they can prove silence is violence. And no not what happened hundreds of years ago, here now, to you personally? How far back do they go? Silence is violence because of what happened 500 years ago, 1,000 years ago? All the way back to ancient civilization when they used chisels and stone tablets to write?
