Call them what they are ... Sheeple following a Political Marxist Agenda they don’t even understand.

Response: What I find more concerning is that the couple recording and uploading the video were black,
a few yards away from the movement representing them and yet mocked and ridiculed rather than be participatory.
Why? BLM is no MLK........
I have seen significant numbers of posts and stories of blacks not all that enthused about all the pandering. Not completely hostile more like a collective eye roll.

I had a black customer wearing a BLM mask yesterday. Ya know what I did? I sold her a range in the exact same method that I would have a white customer in a blank mask. little respect goes a long way for most people. She did not ask me what I thought of BLM. I answered her questions about the range then sold it to her.

I don't know what to call it other than having a Social Conscience but I guess that's better than all name calling and thinly veiled racist remarks that have been posted so far.

I am taking suggestions. Usually I can think up something, but it's late.

It's kind of like Facebook, isn't it? FB used to be cool with young people until their parents and grandparents started to use it, so younger people scurried away.

I think this is spot on! And there can be mass hysteria. Look at all the screaming at the Beatles concerts. I can see that one young woman somewhere felt compelled to scream, but then every concert goer felt like screaming every time? People do copy other people. I'm not saying some people don't care about the cause, but some are just copying what is the Cool Activity of the Day, just like a Tik Tok challenge would be participated in. Back in the day I protested against the Vietnam War. I did want it to be over and thought it was unjust, but there were other things going on with the participation too (some virtue signalling--"I'm a peacenik!" Something to do. Being with large groups of like-minded people, especially cute guys).

Then they get married and rejoin when they have kid 1. FB is definitely uncool with my 17 and 14 year olds. My 17 y/o son has his first semi pro photography session taking pictures free of charge for a local non profit. He was horrified when I told him he should set up a page for his photography on FB.

You got white people yelling at black cops, calling them the n--- word and sellouts for being a police officer.

White people calling black people the n---- word. How many people got in trouble for that in recent history? Now here we have white liberals doing it regularly.
Liberals of all colors (but especially white liberals) are totalitarian scum. If people can't see that by now, they never will.
