    You can fault a group when they choose a racist slogan like BLM. You can also fault a group when they are violent and bigoted towards anyone who holds a sign with a not racist slogan like All Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter.

    Thats actually the point right there

    Reality is EVERY group sticks UP for ITSELF. And every race, or people of particular interest, supports their OWN 1st/2nd/3rd before helping anyone else. Of COURSE All Lives matter and Blue Lives matter, it doesn't mean Blacks (or Whites) can't identify themselves as mattering.

    There is nothing truly RACIST about saying "Black Lives Matter". Its like saying "Texas Lives Matter". So what if there's a bias, again EVERY group is biased to their own. It doesn't necessarily have to be animosity to everyone else or racism.

    Yes do agree that the RHETORIC and emotions get misdirected and the extremists turn it into racism and "For Or Against Us" anger. And I've said many times BLM doesn't appeal well because of that.

    Makes sense, lots of idiots who deny the message of BLM out there who are really angry at Kaepernick.

    Agreed, tons of idiots deny the racist message of BLM and suggest that it is somehow legitimate. Those morons are part of the problem.

    There are lots of imbeciles who don't understand the message of BLM and think that it is racist. Most of the time, these people are just racists.

    Sure, it was founded by racists and they look up to racists, and racists attach themselves to the movement and racists are brought in to speak at their events.....but it's not racist....and if you think otherwise, you're racist.

    Brilliant.

    Since you didn't provide any credible backing to your assertions, I'm going to ignore everything you posted.

    Saw Kaepernick on the sideline during tonight's game. How does he get all that under a helmet?

    Here's a good one, pretty much saying everything a lot of us have been saying...apparently though it's all in your mind! All made up! A figment of your imagination!

    Well yeah, If you don't ignore facts then you can't possibly support the racist BLM nonsense. I assume ignoring facts is pretty much a prerequisite for those types.

    Not sure how that's relevant to the facts presented. Apparently if a Comedian talks about anything it is now false...

    I'm not sure it's worth discussing with you, since you are on record as denying the studies that exist on the issue. But the comedian referenced actual facts. If a group was upset about those facts that he referenced they wouldn't be ignoring facts, they would be reacting to them.

    The comedian was trying to be funny, and he's a really funny comedian, but if that's where you get your talking points....well that's just sad. The part where he talks about how few officers are convicted is the point people should pay attention to, the reason isn't because they are like Hillary Clinton and above the law, the reason is because there are very few instances where officers wrongfully kill someone in the line of duty.

    The laughable narrative that cops are out hunting down and murdering black people never had any validity and was only supported by those who ignore the facts in favor of emotional BS.

    Is he referencing facts or not? That's really all that matters. He also gave very good reasons as to why cops get away with it. You just seem naive enough to believe that cops are 100% good people apparently. Not everyone is that naive about this issue.

    Cops do hunt down black people maybe not for murder but can you defend what these two cops have done?

    He assumes that it has to be something nefarious rather than the more obvious reason.....because the shootings are almost always justifiable and legal. Of course that doesn't fit the narrative so no doubt you'll toss that out.
