I have always understood and occasionally sympathized with the BLM movement but no more. They want to act like a band of savage idiots then that's how I shall view them......and they did it all to themselves!

And as far as respect goes, they're right down there with DACA and muslims and have no "RIGHT" to "DEMAND" anything. You live in America---ACT LIKE IT or leave, is that so hard to figure out?

There's a difference between black lives matter and Black Lives Matter or #BlackLivesMatter or blacklivesmatter.com.

Yes, black lives do matter, but I don't want to be chanting Black Lives Matter because you can't tell what I mean. They have co-opted a term that is basically a statement of fact (at least for me because I value all human life) and now it also means "defund the police" and "reparations" and "get rid of the entire criminal justice system".

With George Floyd +99% of the entire country was sickened by what we saw and we all wanted justice and accountability.

How is that not a win for them? Well that's an easy question... they CAN'T agree with Trump. Trump has given them basically everything they asked for. It's obvious that this isn't about Floyd or police. It's about hurting Trump and dividing America so they can seize power and hide their own criminal and racist actions.

  • Trump reversed Biden's racist crime bill
  • Trump sent in the FBI/DOJ to Minneapolis and the police officers were almost immediately arrested after that
  • Trump wants to protect local businesses including ones that are minority owned
  • Trump has done quite a lot with opportunity zones
  • Trump has always praised peaceful protesters and encourages that
  • Trump will sign a police use-of-force executive order

If they weren't so well funded maybe they'd finally realize that if they really wanted to help black people and other minorities they shouldn't support the party that locked them up to begin with.
