    The gunman certainly got the point of it....perhaps in your naivete you are the one that doesn't get their intended point. You seem to not realize that the people at the core of BLM are racists just like the gunman was.

    Some people are fed up.

    Every aspect of life is a work in progress subject to events, evaluations and change.

    [rQUOTEr]Suspect in Dallas police attack wanted to 'kill white people': chief

    At least one sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven more in a coordinated attack that ended when police used a robot bomb to kill a shooter who told them he wanted to kill white officers, authorities said Friday.

    The attack came during one of several protests across the United States against the killing of two black men by police this week, the latest in a long string of killings that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Police described Thursday night's ambush as carefully planned, with some shots apparently fired from rooftop positions, and said they had taken three people into custody before killing a fourth after a long standoff in a downtown garage.

    "We had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot," Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters at City Hall.

    Please read my prior response to someone who made this exact same accusation.

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=10601975&postcount=480

    And please stop generalizing a movement based on your right-wing talking points. You don't know all the facts and trying to paint BLM as some kind of hate group is ridiculous.

    No, they get it but don't agree with it.

    If they got it they would realize they don't need to say All lives matter. I guess you don't get it.

    Please consider posting less frequently, the more you post, the more stupid stuff comes out of your mouth.

    why did obama say he speaks for every american?
    at least one of those protesters doesn't believe the crap he said, right? he must know it.
    then why does he keep saying crap like that? because he thinks this **** is supposed to unite people? really? that would just make trump supporters like trump more.

    I just knew the junior klansman Bigtexx along with his buddies in the white supremacy movement would be quick to pin this on the President. It makes them feel warm and fuzzy in their cloak of whiteness and also gives them something to rant about during their cross burnings.

    No they do. They are responding because they are retaliating against the notion that black lives don't matter as much. They are disputing that racism and oppression against black people still exist and that in reality black people are playing a victim card. Therefore they are pointing out that All Lives Matter and that anyone who tries to say a specific race is just playing "identity politics" and ignoring that the real problem is black people acting like thugs.

    I don't believe that they really believe that alllivesmatter when they are never up in arms about the senseless killing of black people.

    I just don't.

    This is what every President says when a nation is mourning.

    That's a really weird thing to be upset about.

    Consider if there was a group founded by KKK sympathizers that frequently had seminars with KKK members giving speeches about the tenets of the KKK and their actual webpage has quotes by someone in jail for lynching black people.....knowing those things, would you "paint" them as some kind of hate group?

    Again, I'm not saying everyone that jumps on that bandwagon has the same motivations as those at the core of it, but you can't deny what the founders and core organizers are.

    All lives don't matter to all people. And matter is a subjective term, how much you would be willing to do for everyone? If you spread your concern over all people you would just have the status quo. :confused:
