Protesters are upset that the Paris terrorist attacks stole their thunder. That seems self-absorbed, and isn't self-absorption a White People Problem?

Thoughts?

All about them: Mizzou, Black Lives protesters say Paris attacks took spotlight | Fox News

Note: I had started this thread over at Current Events and it got shut down as "too controversial" so I thought I'd try a forum that has the word "controversies" in its name.

Thoughts? Grow up, grow a pair, and stop being perpetually offended. Go to class, get a job, and learn to be a contributing member of society!

Please tell the Black Lives Matter people to update their Outlook calendar so that their events will not coincide with other disruptive groups they are working with.

Ha ha.

They are doing what they want to do and what they feel like doing.

When have you stood for a cause against hate. Stood against someone who gave death threats?

Take your own advice about growing a pair.

What hate and what death threats have these whiners had to deal with. If you ask me, they deserve to be publicly humiliated and shunned by the way they are acting.

I thought these kids went to school to learn a skill, not to learn hate.

What death threats are you speaking of? All I see is a bunch of whiners looking for attention trying to guilt trip people for things that happened in the past that they, nor the people they're guilt tripping were a part of. Oh and not to mention doing a complete disservice to those who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement!

Is Mizzou really an issue? It happens across the US a few time's. Sometimes ny bigots and sometimes by kid's just being ignorant punks. I mean what more you want you can't stop people from being punks. This whole BLM thing is a joke and a disgrace to the Black Community. If theu really wanted to make a difference they write letters to congesss, peaceful marches, and so forth. Wouldn't be shutting down highways, rioting, destroying property, making threats to other's, and so forth. They are doing the opposite of change for good, but instead causing change of disgust. Unfortunately there is no leader coming forth in the community wanting to make a difference.

And that's it. Protesting and to do so peacefully is one thing! But using riots, witch hunts via a mob like mentality, violence, and destroying private property loses all credibility with me, as well as many other Americans. It's a huge turn off.
