    I understand BLM and why it exists, but I'm curious what the money that goes to BLM is used for. Do they use it to lobby politicians or pay for attorneys. I'm pretty cynical about "awareness" charities.

    He was being facetious. (and perhaps you are too, and I missed it)

    Here's a good story for the OP, with some cops treating a Black military officer very poorly during a meritless traffic stop.
    They got to use so much of their training: pepper spray, threats, beat down and hand cuffing, all because he ... dared to own and drive a new SUV.

    https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/A-Black-Army-officer-held-at-gunpoint-during-16091450.php

    Showed him how little we need BLM, right? I mean, he survived after all, didn't he... survived owning a new car as a Black man in America, as he serves America.

    Also, SMDH. Glad he's suing their asses.

    I guess when nobody else crawled out of their bunker for the big rally, Senator had to find something else to do.

    "GET OUT OF THE CAR!"

    "I'm afraid to get out of the car."

    "YOU SHOULD BE!"

    Quality crisis management and tension diffusing there, good job police.

    Probably his fault. What's his criminal record? Why is he wearing his uniform still? Maybe he should have just handled it better in the end and none of this would have happened...

    Sadly nobody has addressed this most important point specifically addressing what BLM is and isn't, but Senator and the other encouraged dog whistlers just keep pretending this post doesn't exist.

    Surprised that it didn't become a thread of its own (or maybe I missed it). Nazario being a pro and cool-headed army officer probably saved his life. Any normal panicking law-abiding citizen kind of reaction would probably have costed him his life. Had Nazario not driven slowly to the well-lit gas station with surveillance camera but rather stopped at the dark road immediately, had he not kept his hands out of window with full visibility to the camera all the time but followed "order" to unbuckle and open the door, had he lied down on stomach immediately etc etc. From mixed orders to the excessive pressure and force, it's almost like a setup to begin with, the officers just provoked and pressured Nazario to make one wrong move, then they might have emptied their magazines.

    It's not just bias and brutality, but almost smells like failed attempted murder. The worse part is, it seemed like a routine to them and they are still on the street doing the same thing.

    What I don't get is how avidly he must scour the sites of, say, WSJ editorial page and Washington Times and the NY Post and the New Klan Herald (okay, the last one I made up) and then post it here. I do hope he got outside yesterday, if he lives in Houston. Beautiful weather to clean out the hatred in the soul.

    When I take neighborhood walks, there's a home where you can see inside the living room and the TV is always on FOX. Always. Good God, take a break.

    Do we actually know that this is a property she purchased for personal use with BLM donation funds? Where was this reported/confirmed?

    Why are you asking him a question? He only tweets right wing memes via Twitter in this subforum. He won't engage in a discussion or actually use his own thoughts.

    If Jason Whitlock's against it, I'm for it.

    It is amazing how often the founder of BLM changes if they can be considered doing something negative.

    Blacks engaging predominately white environments, establishments and institutions, in a country where they out number us 6 to 1 and are still the majority.

    What part of the 100+ year struggle for racial ****ing integration was that?

    What do you mean why is he wearing his uniform? He was on his way home from work.
