Oh, is that right? then how is it, that yesterday I believe it was, or the day before, someone threw a cement concrete block from an overpass at police officers and it broke an officers spin?

This is getting absolutely ridiculous...the hate and contempt that is in this country is beyond words.

I've seen it grow on this forum over the years, and now out there in the world, people have become violent and unforgiving. To throw bottles at cops, to walk up to them and spit at them in the face? I find that truly an inconceivable.

When you blame a whole group for the actions of a few aren't you being just as bigoted and wrong headed as those you're demanding be "fried like bacon"?

Just wondering how this works nowadays...
BLM is not an "organization." There is no membership list, there is no box-and-wire diagram, there is no hierarchy. Anyone with a Twitter account can claim to be a "chapter." It started out as a hashtag, now it's a "world idea."

The New Black Panther Party is considered a hate group by everyone, including even the "old" Black Panthers and the Southern Poverty Law Center (a hate group watch organization).

BLM is not an organization. Anyone claiming to "represent" BLM is just speaking for themselves and maybe a couple of BFFs.

This is correct.

This is not correct. There is no leadership list, there is no membership list, there is no hierarchy, there is no box-and-wire diagram, there is no "machine."

It's a hashtag, and anyone who doesn't know how a hashtag works doesn't know anything about how social media works. Anyone with a social media account can just say "stuff" that gets them a big online following, and >SHAZAM!< they're a "BLM leader," when they're really only someone who has a lot of "likes" on Facebook.

What a silly attempt at analogy. Fail!

You can go online, use the BLM hashtag. You can't go out onto a football field where the Falcons are playing and claim to be part of the team.

But which "they?"
