Yeah, but You can only hear these blacks on FOX, Tucker, or rare conservative media — no way CNN, MSNBC, NPR, NTY, et al will let you hear blacks that don’t toe the democrat line......

I liked Gary Johnson a lot but didn’t have the opportunity to vote for him then.

I’ve been rabidly anti-BLM since Michael Brown’s death. At that time if you went to BLM’s web page their intent as an openly Marxist organization was made VERY clear in their mission statement. It was all over their web page, in fact. There was no hiding it.

They’ve since hired a publicist firm to clean up their image and all printed materials, but their intent is still exactly the same: use racism to indoctrinate Marxism.

It’s one of the biggest scams ever pulled over the eyes of Americans. If you want to help Black Americans, support positive educational measures like the UNCF.

They aren’t listening. They don’t want to because they want to justify their prejudice thoughts about black people in general. I just saw a pastor speaking out against BLM this morning. There are a number who have major issues with the organization’s focus.

But it has gotten to extreme & to me is a problem moving forward. It's gotten to the point that if you're white & against it you're racist.

I really have to wonder how many black people really are not fond of what it is now.
The original message was they are Marxists, and want to tear down the current system of government in the USA, and getting rid of law enforcement for that system is on the top of their list.


BLM has never protested in cities like Chicago to stop the black on black near-genocide going on. Trying to stop black criminals from murdering blacks has never been in BLM's wheelhouse

Bravo for that pastor. We should all be speaking out against the BLM organization and instead be focusing on treating everyone exactly the same with no exceptions, which includes locking up anyone who threatens or harms anyone for any reason.

It seems to me that using the term "black" is in it's self prejudice, Lives matter. as though no one elses lives matter. which they are proving by their behavior.
This movement is not helping their cause one bit but dividing the country all the more. And trump did not start this.
The socialist democrats start this to create descent.

True, and probably inevitable as well.

You have to admit, it's a pretty successful one though. Corporations, celebrities, media, a large part of our population, and even some in other countries are buying into it.

The term Black Lives Matter means that Other races are treated as of their lives are more precious than black lives, so the term is to make it known that black lives matter as well. However, people are generally stupid, so they'll say the term means that Black Lives Matter more than everyone else, even after it the meaning of the term has been explained ad nauseum. Again, people are stupid.
