To Destroy America - BLM

[Cow Poke]

Correct. So why don't you leave the organization BLM out of it, because it is about black lives matter not about the BLM.

Because, as I noted, my black friends believe that "the organization BLM" is really making a mess of that fact that Black Lives really do Matter.

The problem is that you want to make about BLM so you can rave about marxism, socialism, communism, anything but the actual issue which is systemic racism and police and justice system reform.

No, JimmySue - BLM is putting themselves on the front pages every day with their chaos and mayhem, and they manage to fool stupid white people into supporting their cause and paying them money.

Oh, I see, it's because of your black friends.

Really CP? So you have evidence of BLM members being violent, burning buildings and such? I thought you were blaming that on Antifa. So who gets under your craw the most CP, the marxists or the anti-fascists?

[JimL]

I think what you've seen here is that the group, Black Lives Matters (BLM), which makes no bones about their radical Marxist roots and beliefs, has been castigated for being what it is...

Castigated by you because they're Marxists, which has nothing to with the issue at hand.

This may come as a bit of a shock but you can believe that black lives matter without supporting Black Lives Matter. And calling out BLM is not the same as attacking the entire civil rights movement.

Then why do you keep bringing up BLM?

That's namedropping. That's not a cite.

The same author who wrote the report for the Brennan Center [sic] on white supremacists within US police forces. I opened a thread on that report http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...se-for-concern and you made various posts on that thread.

Yes, the ones who are very much into civil rights, and who denounce BLM because it is doing all the wrong things, PRETENDING to be about black lives.

It's not at all unusual for you to have think incorrectly.

So who gets under your craw the most CP, the marxists or the anti-fascists?

Morons, who post on Tweb defending BML while pretending to denounce violence, because they're too stupid to comprehend the situation.

Oh, I see, ...

By the way, every time you start a post with "Oh, I see", it's a clue you're about to say something profoundly stupid.

I'm all for peaceful demonstrations.



Any "protests" involving the wanton destruction of private property, businesses, assaults on police stations, chaos and mayhem, and are not loudly and clearly denounced by the "protesters", give me reason to question the legitimacy of this "movement".



I think if you were here, I'd have to slap you with a fish - talk about saying "ignorant things".

[Watermelon]

And "people like you" are suckered into believing that the BLM movement is actually about civil rights, even as they boast about "killing cops", "burn it down" ---- my black boss denounces the BLM movement as anarchist, and claims it is doing NOTHING to help the cause of civil rights, but only making things worse.

I keep bringing them up? Politicians are painting city streets with their logo. You cannot watch a sporting event without them being mentioned again and again. Try watching a TV show without one commercial being about them. Businesses are falling over themselves declaring their support for them. And yet you think that it is me who keeps bringing them up?

The logo "Black Lives Matter" refers to the wider movement for better treatment of black people by police, not just the specific small activist group that also goes by that name.

It's perfectly coherent for a politician, sports team, or protester, to endorse the general social movement for more humane treatment of black people at the hands of police, without them necessarily knowing a fig about, or at all endorsing the small activist group who got the movement started.

[Cow Poke]

I denounce the violence and the mission of BLM, which is clearly spelled out on their own website.

Forget about the BLM organization and Marxism, the protests are about police reform.

And we do that by trying to burn down police stations with people inside?

The protests haven't stopped because BLM doesn't WANT the violence to end. It serves their purpose. And it fools ignorant weak-minded people into defending their anarchy.

I'll believe this when BLM stands up and denounces the call for dead cops, the rioting, looting, burning of police cars, assaults on innocent people just having dinner at a cafe. But they have managed to get the extreme leftist nutters to defend their anarchy.

Then they'd better find a new logo, because they will continually be linked to a violent Marxist organization otherwise.

Yes, but only because you want to link the protesters and the issue at hand with a Marxist Communist agenda because that suits your agenda of ignoring or denying the actual issue of the need for police and justice reform.

The violent protesters, not peaceful demonstrators. And BLM doesn't condemn the violence at all, or call for peace. Only in your world do you obtain 'justice' or 'reform' by looting, burning, assaulting innocent people, destroying businesses, attacking federal buildings, burning police cars....

And I'm all for police reform and justice reform --- but not the super nutty extremist ideas of defunding police, and "catch and release" violent offenders.
