So "All LIVES" DON'T MATTER? Black lives are more IMPORTANT and VALUABLE than White, Asian, Hispanic, etc lives??? Why can't people say that EVERYONE'S life is important???

Read the cartoon - or have someone read it to you.

If you still don't understand, there's really nothing to talk about.

I don't know what the reaction "should" be. What do you suggest? Do we introduce even more protected classes? I'm not much of a fan of that. Do we get rid of "at will" employment? Don't like that much, either.
yes it is. without question.

the reaction should be: absolutely nothing.
there is nothing even controversial to react to.

If this thread is about BLM, why did you link to a story for a school administrator who was fired? What 1A rights are being denied to BLM?

Why are Republican leaders refusing to stand up to the destruction democrats are doing to our country?

Republican politicians and conservative citizens both locally and nationally are just sitting back and watching this unfold.
Yes, as an outspoken activist Republican you will be doxed, your house protested, you will be harassed out of restaurants, shot while playing baseball with other conservatives, fired from your job, censured on all social media platforms, labeled a white supremacist, called out by Hollywood, your children will be beat up and shamed for having conservative parents and life will be truly miserable while trying to stand up to this blatant destruction of our country by democrats.
But what’s the alternative???!

This brewing conflict must make a race chip guy like you thrilled. You have no idea what is being ginned up at this point. You really don’t believe a reaction is coming from the right do you? First off all this rioting, PC leftist in your face nonsense will be the direct cause of a massive republican landslide in November don’t you? Many non black Americans (not just whites) who went out of their way to take part in electing the first black president in 2008 are now avoiding black people and communities as if they had the plague. No one wants their trouble. People are now realizing the depth of our division on everything both socially and politically. Realization that red state America and blue state America cannot reconcile or even function together in a government at all is growing daily. Open discussion of breaking up the country or potential civil war are now common. Maybe you want that. You shouldn’t as the left would lose big time.

White people and conservatives will not protest and riot. They will organize against you. It seems you have won now because your side controls the leftist cities and you have driven the police out. It just seems that way. A powerful response will come. It will develop over the coming months. We are taking note of our enemies, both governmental and corporate. We certainly will enthusiastically back Trump even if he is a Clown. We will stop this.... You leftist will not turn this country into a third world banana republic for SJWs. If necessary we will fight. Know that fact...we will not surrender this country to you people. In 1861 today’s red states organized the confederacy to fight a tyrannical northern government. We organized the confederacy and the confederate army in a matter of months. We were the smaller part of America with less people and resources and we almost won. It took 4 years for the Yankees to subdue us. Today the red states are much more than just the south. The red states are the growing prosperous states that have the resources and people. We are far more powerful today and if a civil war did come we would hold all the cards. If you think this pathetic riotous group of BLM and ANTIFA youth will take this country you are delusional. We are working to fix things in a way that does not further damage our democracy for now. If however given a choice of living under leftist tyranny or organizing something terrible against a leftist government we can and will do just that. We have done it before and we will do it again.

Are you insinuating I can't read? Nobody's house is on fire. The cartoon is a huge LIE. If anyone's house is on fire they are purposely SETTING IT THEMSELVES (for the insurance money).

Get your head out of your you know what and try to stop trying to insult people.

The courts will decide which of us is right, I guess.

That's not a solution, that's an opinion. She was fired - what do you propose to fix it and future instances?

Yes, in many opinions, it does. There are tons of articles out there right now (and going back to 2016) to explain how it does exactly that.
