Does BLM really care about black lives?

The request was for a denouncement. This is what you threw out in response.

I know, thanks.

This is even better. Codified on their website across the country.

If a BLM chapter leader is interviewed and asked what they thing of the violence, I would expect them to reiterate their stance on peace.

It’s not better. It’s you struggling.

You have a chair at the table, for now. It’s at the card table in the kitchen, but it’s a chair.

I don’t think they’re villains at all.

They’re the ass end of a joke at this point.

Oh I disagree. They’re picking up seats.

@WuWei

Oh I disagree.

That’s what I like about you though. lol

I’m not so sure about that.

If this is struggling, then I’d love to struggle more.

And white conservatives are trying to tell us what color the chair should be, where it should be, the type of wood it should be made out of and when I should sit.

[conan]

No…we leave that for democrats/libs.

Well, if they do they need to hire a better PR firm.

I am. It already happened. All but official.

“Us”? you’re male, not us. I didn’t put you in that chair, women of color did.

Eat your peas.

Well see. Usually I see a pattern developing prior to election…not so this time. I can see it going other either way. But I do know that’s happening now has started turning moderates off in big way.

Well why don’t you lay out a step by step list of how they should go about bringing their grievances to light. If they say nothing about police brutality it gets swept under the rug. If they protest they all get labeled as looters and rioters. If they try to bring attention by peacefully kneeling during the National Anthem they’re called sons of bitches by the president.

If the shoe fits… BLM went from being protestors to being a mob as soon as they started to loot and riot.

The BLM cares no more for any life than those who advocate for lockdowns during the COVID 19 pandemic. They care about destroying all lives and crippling a once thriving economy.

Really. Many of those advocating lockdowns and hysterically claiming they care about some elderly relative or other see newly formed lives—particularly those with Downs Syndrome or other imperfection—as a “woman’s freedom to choose”

Massachusetts Governor Charles Baker won’t visit his elderly father for fear of making him sick, but kept the Planned Parenthood train rolling with no restrictions on abortion. Hey, great, appointments with some professionals are conducted virtually, but some irresponsible ■■■■ in the decade of free birth control needs to be able to abort.

When Terri Sciavo’s case was in the Florida court system, they were eagerly awaiting her death, speaking of her as if she wasn’t even human, but a salad (“She’s in a persistent vegetative state, her brain has turned to mush.”). Letters to the Judge in charge of the family’s appeal, by people who actually cared for the poor woman as nurses and other professionals, showed quite the opposite.

In the end, she got a more raw deal than inmates executed in the electric chair. It’s a despicable invention, but at least they die that day.

That disgusting creep Michael Schiavo was allowed to remove his wife’s feeding tube. It took her two weeks to die by starvation & dehydration.

Gee, I wonder why he had her cremated. Maybe because an autopsy, which obviously involves examination of soft tissue, would have shown what injury rendered her impaired?

So no, generally BLM and those advocating economic shutdowns due to COVID 19 really don’t give a fuzzy rat’s rear end about any lives. JMNSHO

They sure aren’t marching for the poor 17 year old boy Kenneth Wayne Bottoms Jr. who just a few days ago was gunned down in the middle of the day inside a Lexington Ky mall.

One charged with murder in connection with Fayette Mall shooting, two others...

Or as Geraldo Rivera said Black Lives Matter when a black person is shot by a white cop if that is not the scenario it doesn’t matter so much.

Obey all commands.

This is where I have a problem. The commands should be lawful. I shouldn’t have to cower to an overzealous cop because they have a gun.

Would you obey the commands of a man with a gun who was demanding that you hand over your watch and your wallet?

Specifically what commands are you referring to? “Stop!” “Do not move!” “Show your hands!” “Do not put your hand in your pocket!” Exactly what is your objection to such commands?

What’s the argument? That people would obey the unlawful commands of a criminal at gun point so they should obey a LEO without any consideration as to the legality of their commands? Or the commands of law enforcement are always lawful? No such thing as illegal detention.

If someone has the right to resist and defend themselves against the commands and actions of criminal, why can’t they do the same towards unlawful commands and actions of the police? It’s more acceptable if it’s the police doing the unlawful activity? It’s the injured or dead’s fault for not submitting?

No. The argument is, don’t be an ■■■■■■■ and you almost certainly will not be shot by a cop.

What if the cop is acting illegally? Just like the man with a gun demanding that you hand over your watch and your wallet. Are the unlawful commands of a police officer different from the unlawful commands of anyone else?

You can conjure up any “what if” you like to rationalize your fear of cops, but the truth is, if you don’t behave like an ■■■■■■■ and obey the commands that the cops is giving you, you are almost certainly NOT going to be shot by them.

That is not a denouncement of violence.

Doesn’t need to be. It’s what they stand for.

Not worth the argument.

AM radio and CEC have made BLM villains.

I don’t think they’re villains at all.

What do you think they are?

Do you mean like this?

“After widespread looting in the city (Chicago) as part of ongoing civil unrest accompanied by a crime wave, on Aug. 11 local Black Lives Matter leader Ariel Atkins openly defended looting as “reparations.

After 100 looters were arrested and 13 police officers injured by mobs on a protest-enabled crime spree, she said this: “I don’t care if somebody decides to loot a Gucci’s or a Macy’s or a Nike because that makes sure that that person eats. That makes sure that that person has clothes. That’s a reparation,” Atkins said. “Anything they want to take, take it, because these businesses have insurance.”

I have looked … I cannot find one. Be a pal and post what you believe to be their mission statement. (That dialogue you posted earlier is not a mission statement, it’s more like their whole damned platform. A Mission Statement is succinct … one sentence, two at most.)
