Nah dude, wrong view. Blacks who own businesses have more in common with us law abiding average folks than they do with the ghetto scum. Supporting them is supporting their success.

The ones we should not support would never own a business (except drug sales).

If that was to happen, the rest of Oregon would be a swing state where conservative votes actually make a difference.

Well as a fellow Oregonian, I disagree.

Now why would you want to hurt black business owners? That makes no sense.

If anything, go after the large corporations saying they're supporting BLM by pointing out that BLM sends hundreds of millions of dollars to Democrats, and since they're obviously announcing to the world what their political stand is, you'll go elsewhere.

Black business owners are just trying to make it like the rest of us are.

I am still behind the basic principals that are the reasons for the protests (the whole idea of police reform). And I was all for people holding signs, doing marches, the push for legal change to dial back police brutality, the push to recognize where there is still racism in the US, etc. But nonsense like this is making me less and less interested in showing support.

Agreed. Do they not realize that they aren't gaining fans by doing stuff like this?

I hope these stupid leftists continue their cancel culture at least until they go far back enough to cancel the Democrat Party.
Don't waste your or my time time trying to say there was a "big switch" as we have proven that is yet another big lie of the Left many times already.

We're not perfect, nobody is, but we're not going to burn this country down either.

Trump is going to have to step in to show strength against this group, democrat leaders are feckless, some even encourage this.

They started to do that here but the locals shut it down after two days. Turns out these cowards don't like actual fighting with biker gangs.
