I was on my walk today and I’m up to about 4 miles now (yay me). I noticed as I walked through a very wealthy neighborhood several of these BLM signs and it occurred to me that these people don’t care about the cause at all, they think it will save their house from the torch. There were rumors that an organized protest/riot was going to merge into wealthy neighborhoods.

I thought it’s like German citizens hanging white flags out their windows to prevent the allies from destroying or looting their homes.

Pretty interesting times we are living in.

I'm pretty sure the neighborhood (as well as America) is getting sick and tired of having the BLM shoved down their throats.

Give it a rest!

I can see it now a group of BLM protesters march down their street and even if they were handing out free hugs and ice cream the 911 center would be flooded with calls for the Police to come and clear "those" people out.

Pretty sure that's the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Ya'll are simply TERRIBLE at reading the moment.

If they paint pigs blood on their doors, will.........

Oh, wait.

It is also a way for them to virtue signal they are good little PC, Woke, SJW's aligned with the perpetual victims of society and not "The Man". LOL!

You’re really that skeptical about people caring about their fellow human beings? Wow man, find some empathy.

You mean their fellow man that is violent, riots, loots, burns, destroys property, hurts people and breaks the law? That fellow man?

The concept of people coming together and saying that black lives matter is a good thing. I think most fair minded people are in agreement. It's this militaristic and sometimes violent approach that is wearing thin. The fringe in that movement are expecting white people to kneel and the constant "check your white privelge" and the expecting apologies and all of that nonsense are starting to lose me. That crowd can go SCREW themselves in hurry.

I treat all people with respect and dignity. I ain't kneeling and apologizing for being white. I've never harmed any black person and I ain't apologizing for the sins of the father as the saying goes.
