That's a really smart point.rgambs said: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.

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"?rgambs said: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.

It should be "Lives Matter"
No colour necessary.

That is your perception and it is very far off. Speaks volumes about your opposition to race issues.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

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.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

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) lol0 -

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.dignin said:You can knock Colin Kaepernick -- don't call him un-American

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.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Just an uninformed, ignorant American....a line that is getting longer by the day! He can go fuck himself as far as I'm concerned...oh wait, he just did, loldignin said:You can knock Colin Kaepernick -- don't call him un-American

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

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.dignin said:

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.dignin said:
