Why are you hoping a black person will shoot/assult him/her.

Where did he say he hopes the poster will get murdered or assaulted? To paraphrase, he said go ask a Black person in person instead of coming onto this website & making bogus claims if you really want to know so badly.

The Black Lives Matter movement keeps shooting itself in the foot. Getting outraged over people saying "all lives matter," heckling people like Bernie Sanders(who has fought for social justice and equality for 50 years) to steal the spotlight, encouraging riots in the streets, etc. You don't win favor by behaving like morons.

BLM is a farce. Anyone who supports BLM is anti-black, as they don't support blacks or saving their lives, they simply support thugs and hate cops.
Blanket statement. There's many people who support the movement that don't hate cops or support thugs Pro accountability does not equal anti-cop.

I myself agree with some of their ideas, just not the way they've been implementing them.

This is a message board. He didn't say so, I'm asking if that why he keeps telling posters to walk up to a random black person asking the questions that are presented on this board. What would be the reason for that. If that were the case there would be no need for CD or any other message board, we should all just walk up to to people and ask our questions, no?

Because these posters keep asking the same questions/making the same claims over and over x10, so if they really want their answers go directly to the source. It's obvious we're not getting through to them.

So based on your logic please tell us which black man is known as the source ? Is it any black man? Certain ages ?

The posters that continually demand "answers" don't even really care about the question itself. Of course they would never approach a random black person and ask their questions. They already know that their questions/claims are ridiculous, ignorant and fear based. They would be looked at with scorn, contempt and disbelief....the questions hold no weight IRL. It's easier to spew this level of fodder from the comfort and security of anonymity.

I believe that we are all aware that one person cannot answer for an entire race of people. That would be like me wandering up to a random white person demanding answers as to why Jeffrey Dahmer killed all those victims. Do all white people eat other people? Why? Oh, and why did the Roof boy shoot those people? What is it like growing up like he did? Surely you have the answers.....you're white!!!

Unbelievable.

The Internet is an open outlet for fear mongering. It's easier to jump on the bandwagon and "hate" on a group of people that, on an individual basis, have NOTHING to do with the violent perpetrators displayed in our media. Goodness forbid, I should actually take the time and utilize my resources to judge based on individual merit.

They aren't very serious when they tout that cute slogan while two cities in the USA, Baltimore and Chicago, are experiencing some of the highest black murder rates in history...ironically at the hands of other blacks.

It's obvious they are spitting in their own faces, isn't it?


I doubt the vets would get as spun up as the BLM crowd, even the black members among them.
