    Maybe some of you should head over to their web page to figure out who they are and what they are about before commenting.

    I'm not sure how racial profiling leads directly to poverty to begin with...please explain. And is that the only means?

    Nice to see that you have some claws around here.

    Claws, what?

    Art Acevedo hit the nail on the head. Don't judge an entire group based on one cop killer. Love how he stuck it to Lt Gov Patrick.

    Stalling for time? You bet.

    OK. it's late. In a small jar it's like this:

    Racial profiling does not lead directly to poverty and no, it's not the only means.

    I know, I know. I really was going somewhere with that but I've lost the trail and the hounds have all gone to bed. Me too before I fall on my face. I'll try to find it again later.

    Somewhat off topic, but if this group can mobilize soooooo many people, with so much passion, why don't they organize in Chicago to help eradicate the 1000 or more deaths caused by black-on-black crime each year? And that's just one city. Do black lives only matter if they die at the hands of cops?

    First of all, congratulations for parroting another pile of Limbaugh feces! Did you think about this before you posted it? I sure hope not.

    Second of all, it makes little sense.
    Do you really think the organization required to end gang related violence is as easy as the organization required in telling people, "meet here for a protest"?? Surely you don't, you're not a moron.
    Who would they be seeking redress from with their organizational efforts? The gangs? The thousands of different individuals, operating under no real connection, that are responsible for perpetrating the crimes?

    There's a certain amount of logic to what you're proposing but maybe putting the cart before the horse? Might not eradicating poverty and racial profiling which leads to poverty in the first place do the same thing only better and more broadly?

    Let's get one thing straight...no one in Chicago is gunning down another human being in order to put food on the table. This isn't the 1920's, and very few people alive in the US even have the slightest inkling of what true poverty is. They may think they do, but they don't.

    Even the most minimal of assistance that is given in modern times is light years ahead of what our grand parents and great grand parents received. Not to mention the true modern day poverty that exists in other parts of this world (which interestingly enough...most of those regions do not have violent crime at our levels). I realize that we are a nation that will find any reason to shift blame, but it's not a valid argument.

    This is a community issue. It's broken families. It's poor examples of humanity that are created at home and exacerbated on the streets.

    If this group truly cared about the lives of black people, they would patrol their neighborhoods, reach out to those in need, and create a community thats sole purpose is to protect the very lives they are marching for.
    I think its hard to argue with this

    just popped onto the site with the link you provided... below is the first line of their statement, and frankly its pure sensationalized bullshit... I didn't feel a need to read further

    Here's the full quote from the BLM website (interesting that some was left off, my2hands):

    Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.

    Why is this objectionable?

    Funny you should mention that shawshank. These nitwits tried that a few times in Chicago last year. The gangbangers did not take too kindly to their non sense since it hurt drug sales dramatically with all the police presence sent to protect these wonderful BLM folks who are usually 80% White. Aight nobody got time for that shit in the ghetto. Can't make this shit up even if I tried.

    Has anyone been to a BLM rally yet???I personally would love to hear your thoughts.

    I think you are mixing up your threads.
    Why do you think some find it objectionable?

    Systematically and intentionally targeted?

    No.

    The orphaned street kids and homeless in Columbia... yes.

    So, your interpretation of the data is that unarmed black men being 7 times more likely to be shot than unarmed white men is random and unintentional? For that analysis to be true, it would require the mother of all statistical anomalies.
