This was your insulting response, still not having been directly confronted with the fallacy of your comment.




After you no longer could defend your original racist comment you then changed your story.


What a **** poor way to hold a conversation - completely ignoring every other thing you said because you were wrong and trying to change your comments later. Then you have the nerve of blaming other people for not putting words in your mouth.
I didn't change my story.

Your refusal to accept any further posts is your ****ing problem. Not mine.

IGNORED.

Many businesses on the Magnificent Mile fell 25-50% short of their Black Friday projections. These protests are hurting sales and jobs, that's not how you go about attaining positive publicity.

Maybe the city of Chicago could do something about it like, oh I don't know, stop treating public servants like lords and ladies of the serfdom.

Those private businesses had zero to do with the entire situation.

All of this reminds me of the old saying....never **** in your own backyard.

The consequences aren't good on several levels.

Yea its funny how certain people are okay with making random businesses and their employees suffer in sales. Quite troubling when you read stories of shoppers asking to hide in stores from the protesters when all they wanted to do was shop. They will continue to lose support by using these kind of tactics that solve nothing. Its the private businesses and employees that suffer the most.

They did this same tactic in Ferguson and surrounding cities by going to random businesses and malls during the holiday season.

Now they are wondering why quite a bit of employees have either cut hours or been laid off. Some businesses have moved altogether.

In Missouri college students didn't like how a university was dealing with racism on the campus. So what did they do? Students and supporters protested the university for days and got some change to start in the form of the president and chancellor to resigning.

What they didn't do was going to private businesses and malls blocking people from shopping hurting their cause and losing support. They got national attention the smart way.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. If you make it messy enough and do it consistently your voice will be heard. The fact that BLM irritates someone like you is prove that it works. Efforts to portray the movement as inflammatory or anti-white ignore the long history of racism and violence against blacks in America. Given that known fact why would what you think or say about their movement really matter? You're thoughts are nugatory.

Their tactics is why their demands aren't taken serious and why no major change has been done. Keep making it messy so the very people who you want support from will continue to lose support in ya.

Their actions only make normal everyday people not support them.
A dying moment can't irritate me but it does give me a warm feeling inside when I see them losing support.

Plenty orangizers within the movement are inflammatory and the fact they don't do the same for white people like they do for black people shows their position quite well. Ahh so you're admit the moment is about race and not police accountability for all.

My thoughts are exactly how other people feel about it and equal them to those occupy nuts. So your thoughts about me are of no value. Nice try

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy has been fired amidst the apparent police cover-up. Dominoes are about to fall. They don't need your support. Just sit on the sideline and witness history take place.


“Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
― Frederick Douglass
