Clearly you don’t care about people dying of cancer. See how that works? The vast majority of advocacy groups have a singular issue that is their main focus. Whining about them not having a wider focus is ■■■■■■■ BS.
Advocacy groups
Um. yes?
Um. Sure.

You don’t like that as a descriptor for BLM et al?
Where’s the national protests, where’s the national outrage?
Its all about power. That’s all DEMs care about. Those who are disadvantaged are simply pawns, used by DEMs to obtain and hold that power.

Calling an insurgency an “advocacy group” seems akin to calling 1966 Ann Margaret a “pretty girl” - technically correct, but…

Some violent criminal rioter wearing a BLM t-shirt does not make them a member of BLM nor does it show BLM to be behind the violence.

Creating the environment for violence while denying direct involvement does not absolve.

It does for black people… apparently.
Guvnah:Here’s the deal. You need public support. (Otherwise BLM is destined to perpetual rioting and vandalism without results.)
You assume BLM doesn’t have public support due to their name. You don’t know that.
I would argue BLM has huge public support right now. More than at any other time.
Weird how they think BLM is not popular. Perhaps not in their circles but I don’t see how one can deny BLM popularity as it has gone quite mainstream.

Maybe they don’t mind the rioting, that I can’t say, but the fact remains that they are not perpetrating it.
Who cares where he got the shirt? You could buy one too, it doesn’t make you a member.
Silence is Violence is a talking point designed to get people to take action they might not otherwise take. It is not some hard and fast “rule”. If only the world were that simple…

One of the definitions of “perpetrate” is to bring about. And that they are not doing it is not “a fact”.
“Buy”?
Exactly. It doesn’t swing one way. If violence is being done on your behalf or it benefits you, your silence makes you complicit. That’s the whole concept of it. Silence Is Violence.
Maybe they don’t mind the rioting,

WuWei:Did have. It’s dropping like a rock. Burning, looting and murder do that.
All of BLM does that? If not, then BLM as an activist organization is being punished for the crimes of the few.
Can we even quantify how many actual BLM supporters have looted or murdered during a protest?
All conservatives are judged by the actions of a few. Repeatedly on here. You can’t deny that. Why should it be different for BLM?
