Over time it got hijacked by groups like Antifa and other anti government political B.S. It has turned into the opposite of what it was supposed to be. Those attachments have done more harm to the black community than good. I know a lot of conservatives that were starting to understand that BLM did not mean other lives don’t matter until the rioting and defunding the police issues came up. At that point it ceased to be about black lives and became just another front for a political agenda. |

BLM the organization are just like Black people in general, not a monolith. The leaders and the followers aren’t always on the same page. I don’t identify with their movement, but I speak up on their behalf when being attacked because they’re simply doing what they think will bring about the best results, thus our disagreements aren’t for the world to see and comment on. There’s far too much focus on BLM anyway. What gets lost is the hashtag existed before the organization. The organization utilized the popularity of the hashtag to create itself. Therefore, the usage of the phrase isn’t always a reference to the organization. It’s often times just a rallying cry. It’s no different than Black Power. Stokely Carmichael created that phrase to become a sociopolitical ideology and strategy. The people couldn’t tell you what that ideology and strategy is. They simply liked the way it sounded and used it as a rallying cry. Again, too much focus on Black Lives Matter...not enough focus on actual solutions. |

What I am getting from this is excuses for turning a blind eye. 1. Disrespecting America 2. All lives matter 3. Black killing blacks. 4.whites are more victim than blacks to being killed by police. Now it’s ANTIFA. GIVE ME A BREAK. ![]()
As for Republicans, why are they so all in for defunding schools at every turn but defunding the police is so wrong. Do police really need drones and other high tech military arsenals over educating our youth. Do police need to be called for non lethal mental health situation over a social worker. |

Black American men have no problem with killing each other. They need 0 help, this is one they have fully figured out. Theyre experts. So it offends me when you don't give Black American men credit for their expertise. I'll tell you this, and no doubt it is something you will fully understand. My wife is not a black American, but had she been i would have finally understood the need that burns inside black American men to abandon their babies. Now, why don't you for once live up to your commitments and stop talking with the racist |
Your team stinks

Re: Drew Brees-Desean Jackson
To the moderators, I appreciate you letting us hash things out without fear of being suspended or worse, being banned. This discussion is the most complicated topic to tackle since we've all had positive and negative experiences with members of other races regardless of our locations on this planet. It's mostly healthy to speak about this and hopefully gain perspective so that we all can attempt to empathize with our fellow Americans and people of all nationalities.
To my friends and fellow members, please try to at the very least sympathize with other people's walks in life. To be prejudiced against a person because of the color of their skin or other differences they have from you is just silly. Black, white or otherwise. I've learned that there are great people from every race and there are terrible people from every race. To assume what a person is like based on their appearance is ignorant. |
