They're stuck in the social validation feedback loop. Like so many here. It's pathetic.

In fairness, some of my facebook feed who are supporting black lives matter actually live in black areas. One had a brick thrown through her window while she was watching TV one night. Still thinks we don't need police.

the guilt runs deep in some people.

I"m a social democrat (I know, you right wingers hate me too), but I don't support defunding police, and BLM's platform is basically pure Marxism. So no matter how much I think police forces need more accountability, I'm not taking some Maoist style litmus test because somebody tells me silence=violence. The country I want to live in doesn't sanction excessive police force, and also doesn't sanction coerced speech and Marxism.

As a person of color, I am seriously offended by BLM and I got attacked by a white liberal friend on FB for posting something along those lines on her BLM posting. She said my ancestors didnt go through what African Americans have gone through so I can’t relate.

this is what we have being set up. A hyper PC environment, where if you don't have the right opinions, you are committing violence and you will be attacked for it. This is going to be a mess for some time. Between this craziness and the far right guys just itching for a fight and armed to the teeth..wow.

You have no idea what Republicans are reading. You're only pollyparroting what your leftwing puppetmasters have passed along to you.
