    If "Black Lives Matter" offends you because it's not "All Lives Matter", but you are not offended by "Blue Lives Matter", the operative word there is "black" and that is shameful.

    That's a really smart point.

    ANY group that calls for violence, incites violence, and creates chaos could be labeled a terrorist group...and yes that includes BLM

    The U.S. military fits your definition.

    I, personally, am more offended by people using a BLM platform to justify violence and hate towards others in society. I agree with their message, but am becoming more and more discouraged by their strategies and leadership. It is starting to seem as though the whole movement is being compromised by a few select sick fucktards with their own agenda. Would be a lot more meaningful if they denounced and stood up against the gangs, Panthers, drug dealers in their communities that are getting more black people killed than all police all over the country combined. Am I the only one that is gaining the perception that BLM is more about being anti-police than being for "justice for black people"?

    You're only finally gaining that perception?
    It started out under the guise of the untouchable colour.

    No it is not at all.
    It should be "Lives Matter"
    No colour necessary.
    I don't see colour in people.

    That is your perception and it is very far off. Speaks volumes about your opposition to race issues.

    I do; it's simply part of taking someone in - an observation. Doesn't mean I think any more or less of someone because of it.

    I saw a Cleveland Browns running back got into some trouble for posting an image on Instagram of a police officer getting his throat slashed... The NFL may be suspending him for a few games which of course they should...

    I would cut him (pun intended) lol

    I can only imagine what he will say.
    "I didn't mean it really" or "My bad decision doesn't really reflect who I really am" blah, blah,
    shut up.

    You can knock Colin Kaepernick -- don't call him un-American

    just as he has the right to protest, people have to right to call him Un-american for disrespecting the Flag if they so choose.

    Kaepernick was raised by white parents. doesn't that mean instead of being oppressed he gained because of white privilege?

    That is an extreme statement. There isn't a genocide of black people happening.
    I support the underlying purpose of BLM outside of that that kind of rhetoric. I think there is a need for a movement to advance black civil liberties faster and more effectively. The problem with BLM is that no one seems to be bothering to go about the movement in any systematic, well organized way that actually works in the long run. They need a leader. Like a real leader, like the second coming of MLK Jr. kind of leader. The way they going about it now, with no apparent centralized organization or administration or good public representative who understands how PR works, they are just working against themselves. That's sad to see. Maybe they'll pull it together though. Time will tell. No, I don't think it's a terrorist organization, I just think there are too many people who are doing a lot of shit wrong to their own detriment.

    So he can't protest because his adopted parents are white? I can't see the logic in that.

    i never said he couldn't protest. in this country anyone can peacefully protest all they like. i just questioned whether he was oppressed or if he gained because of white privilege based on being raised by white parents. fair question i think.

    Uninformed because he thinks he will still have a football career after this. Ignorant because he does not realize that his method of protesting disrespects the very fabric of what led to him being able to have a football career and a voice to begin with.
