    I'm sure the BLM activists put the nooses up themselves to draw attention, like that Ahmed kid's family.

    Remnants of paper lanterns, apparently.

    If this is the case, then good. The school police did what they should, investigate and found out what it was. Didn't put anyone in handcuffs unnecessarily, as far as we know.

    Chicago Shootings and Deaths

    Why do we not hear anything from the BLM movement about this? They lose any credibility by ignoring black on black deaths and shootings.

    That's like saying the boy scouts loses credibility because they don't condemn boy on boy crimes.

    It makes no sense. Do you even know what BLM is about? Apparently not.

    You have proven to be so unrealistically ridiculous on this issue that I do not know why I am responding to you but do black lives not matter when other black people take them? It is a MUCH larger issue than "boy on boy" crime which was an astonishingly ridiculous comparison. Why do black lives only matter when the person who takes them is a different color or a cop?

    The quality they share is stupidity. People point it at different things. Seemed like you were trying to make it like this one white guy was the stupid exception. The poster clearly said what I quoted.... which implies there are plenty of stupid people on both sides of the divide.

    That's a horrible strawman you are putting up and stop it. This making up and demonizing a movement is just sad and makes you look intolerant.


    BLM is not about saying only black lives matter. It's about being against excessive police brutality which happen to be disproportionately against blacks. It's about a racially biased criminal justice system.

    What does that have to do with black on black crime? It doesn't. It's not about that. It's about the way the police treat black people as second class citizens.

    Geez. Why can't you get that?

    Then why do you and your buddies here judge BLM as a terrorist organization based on the actions of a handful out of thousands and thousands of people?

    LOL you could audition for the part of the scarecrow in a remake of the Wizard of Oz and you call me a strawman. So what you are saying is black lives do not always matter? I disagree!!! If what you say about BLM is true then they have zero legitimacy. They are built around nothing but lies like the complete and total falsehood "hands up, don't shoot" meme that was pushed by the liberal media. Why support a movement based on lies. I say ALL lives matter including the unborn.

    You are too much of an idiot to understand that BLM is not about black lives ONLY mattering, but that it's a message to police that black lives ALSO matter.

    You are too dumb to get that because you are brainwashed by the racist right. So go spew your ignorance elsewhere. My goodness what is wrong with this country is the morons like you.

    Lou, your arguments get weaker and weaker until you have nothing but personal insults. That is really sad and pathetic. Just admit when you lose an argument and at least keep a little bit of dignity.

    I think this misunderstanding is where a lot of trouble is coming from

    The truth is that neither of us know the proportion of reasonables to radicals. It has been pointed out that the founders have a suspicious background/motivation.... Trayvon Martin? Michael Brown? Poster boys?

    The main video I've seen shows a streetful of people chanting "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!"... not a handful as you would wish to represent.

    I'm not sure how you leapt to terrorist from racist; I thought most of the discussion was about the inherent racism in their outlook.. as if only black lives mattered.

    It's ok CML, I know you live in fantasyland and just make up ridiculous things


    But you have an issue with understanding things. How many times do people have to tell you that BLM is a movement about fighting police brutality. It has nothing to do with abortion or black on black or white on white or whatever one whatever. It's about the criminal justice system specifically the police. There is no argument there. Nothing to discuss.

    Either you get that or you deny it. You chose to make up b.s. about something so you can attack it. That's typical racist behavior.

    I think people need to learn more about the founders of BLM before they say one way or the other what the organization is about.
