Between the way people on Twitter went after this girl, and the way people are posting hateful things on a dead woman's Facebook page - I'm completely disgusted. What has happened that people have become so mean-spirited and hateful that they engage in such vile, disgusting behavior?
there is absolutely no hope for this country. Too many people have become animals.

Reason: inappropriate language
I had never heard of Citizens' Councils so I looked it up. After reading many different sites I get it. However, one line on a wiki page stood out to me:
Quote:
Members used intimidation tactics including economic boycotts, firing people from jobs, propaganda, and threatening and committing violence against civil-rights activists.
Sounds like what is going on right now in this country except it's being perpetrated by the "other side."
Dude..... there is no All Lives Matter group or organization. The people saying that are not a cohesive group of any kind, they are individuals. Why do you not understand that?
And in case you missed it, after seeing the George Floyd video those non-black people, who did not belong to a group, were calling their elected officials, they were expressing outrage on their social media, they were praying in church, and people I had never before seen moved by police induced deaths, let alone black ones, were expressing dismay and finally, finally, finally seeing what the problem. Just because it’s not loud, not in your face, not violent, not obnoxious does not mean they aren’t rallying or trying to enact change. We had a real opportunity for change... and then your group had to make it violent. Congratulations, you took people who wanted to help and turned them fearful. Instead of getting voluntary changes, you are forcing people to do just what it takes to appease you. Bad move. What research tells us is that change made under duress will revert back once the perception of threat diminishes while voluntary change is almost always permanent.
So, yeah, I have gone from supporting Black Lives Matter to resenting them. I am not alone. In my church this Sunday, which we all know tend to be the most segregated places in America, the minister for the first time started talking about the dangers of aligning with groups that are false prophets promoting hate instead of love, forgiveness, and unity, or hijacking a just cause in attempt to destroy our nation, and there was lots of head nodding. I can’t help but to imagine if the folks in my church are seeing a problem, then the folks at our counterpart a couple of streets over must be teetering on outrage.
As soon as it became crystal clear that it's NOT "All Black Lives Matter".
Dude..... there is no All Lives Matter group or organization. The people saying that are not a cohesive group of any kind, they are individuals. Why do you not understand that?
he understands that perfectly well, but also understands that his whole argument goes *poof* if he admits that this is true.
And if you believe ALM is a legitimate cry for equality, why would you oppose BLM?
You can't get it, can you? There is no organized move called ALM, it's just a saying used to contradict the BLM crap. I oppose BLM because they have shown themselves to specifically NOT be about black lives or equality.
Where do I say she needs to be White? In fact, her not being White would make my scenario better bc it perfectly insulates her from claims she used it in its traditional racist context. So again, if a non-White person used #Whitepower in a completely innocent way, would that be acceptable, even if she was grieving?
nope, because #whitepower isn't the answer, just like #BLM the organization isn't. White supremacy is worse than #BLM, but that doesn't mean #BLM isn't bad too.
Her father was was killed in an ambush. She was attacked on Twitter for daring to imply his life mattered. I have had it with these slime who don’t care about the carnage they create or who they hurt.
It is not racist to say you care about other lives. I don’t know how that narrative got so much steam but it needs to stop.
Just a reminder of some words of wisdom:
Why do people post to the public square that is Twitter or other social media?
It’s an open invitation to anonymous people anywhere in the world to attack because they can.
I think nobody even said Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter until BLM was chanting, 'Pigs in a blanket - fry 'em up like bacon' and five cops were killed.
I think this piece keeps being forgotten. And you liberals can say, 'Well they weren't really BLM' - but how do you know that? All I know is - NOBODY in BLM denounces this chant or the murdering of cops.
What kind of people would "choose' to be offended by a grieving teenager? Her dad was shot dead in ambush for crying out loud! Did some of you forget about that? She didn't say "bluelivesmatter" randomly, just like that, for no damned good reasons.. She said it because his dad was SHOT DEAD.
What's wrong with some people?
Her grief certainly doesn't matter to some people!
The BLM mob doesn't take kindly to others trying to horn in on their victimization status.
A grieving little girl who just lost her father is no different than the KKK Grand Dragon as far as they're concerned.
