BLM protest turns into a violent racist mob.

I made it quite clear earlier in this thread that I do not support the crop of SJWs who run BLM. I point out your over-generalizations of a group, use of logical fallacies and I'm called a sympathizer for the movement...

How about you answer the questions I asked ManBehindTheMask, enlighten me to your reasoning.

1. I never claimed you supported anything.
2. I never claimed you are a sympathizer
3. What question do you want me to answer
4. What did you mean when you brought up storm front if it wasn't racist innuendo?

a reply to: nancyliedersdeaddog

Well than I apologize for the presumption on my part.

why should what you deem to be reprehensible actions of individuals(regardless of the amount of people) effect the underlying message of the cause that BLM is trying to represent? Why should everyone involved in BLM be directly responsible for the actions of the members who commit those reprehensible acts?

a reply to: NateTheAnimator

Why is everyone involved in BLM directly responsible for their actions?

Is that a trick question?

a reply to: Phage

Nope.

I'm not saying every member should be directly responsible for other members actions, what I'm saying is members of the groups actions/words especially since it keeps happening time and time again should be taken into account when looking at the group/movement.

a reply to: NateTheAnimator

So, then.
Every member is not directly responsible for their actions? Or did you just word that badly? Did you mean the members are not responsible for the actions of other members?

I somewhat agree with you it should be taken into account like any other group, although I don't think the reputation they gain from those acts whether it has a positive or negative connotation should not reflect on what they have to say overall. Even if you disagree with what their espousing.

a reply to: Phage

Yeah I worded badly. I'm asking if the actions of a few or a majority should reflect on the overall cause and what they(any given group or organization) represent.

I fully agree that a minority within a group cannot be taken to represent that group but why wouldn't the majority opinion do so? Unless the "cause" is not well defined, that is, and that group can accept dissenting interpretations of it.

Just to make this clear I have no problem with people separating the actions/words of the group from their message (I also don't think you believe that's what I was advocating for). I do have to say that I believe people should be skeptical at some of the claims and stats BLM members will make since they have been caught using shady studies and speaking out with out all the facts to further their agenda (now I'm not saying all members do this). Examples of them using shady studies was in the case of when quite a few BLM supporters/sympathizers claim an unarmed black person is shot 'every 28 hours which comes from a very flawed study and then you have some of their members making claims without all the facts in the case of Michael Brown/Sandra Bland.

I think you got it about right, it's what happened to #OccupyWall-Street movement. They lost their direction and focus, allowing the majority of the movement to be replaced with SJWs. Not like they had much choice. I think that's what's happened to the BLM they have a growing radical element amongst their organization that's rapidly tarnishing their public image.

Glad we could agree somewhat for once

a reply to: nancyliedersdeaddog

I'm well aware of their shady tactics which is one of the many reasons I don't support them.

a reply to: nancyliedersdeaddog

People should always be skeptical of any generalizations. No matter who makes them, or why.

a reply to: Urantia1111


Yes, this is why we dislike these unruly negroes in the first place.

a reply to: atlscribe

oh you said a dirty word, expect to have it deleted or post removed.

a reply to: NateTheAnimator

This is how they all behave and why we are willing to paint all of them with a broad brush to validate our preconceived notions about them. It doesn't matter if a few bad eggs are responsible for the agitation, and it doesn't matter if nondescript websites are reporting such information to suit their agenda, we already know how they act. Now excuse me while I go back to watching FOX News.

Did you say "turns into a violent racist mob"? What did they start as?

One is due to drunken idiots after a sporting event.

The other are the fruits of certain social movements.

I cant even make out the race(s) on the right side. Your "info-graphic's" power is biased based on expected opinions about comparing america subcultures

if these blm people are soooo right in what they do, where are all the famous black people backing them up?? if the blm were something to be proud of i would think jesse jackson and al sharpton or any other problack celebrity would be all over it

there's no money in it, that's why you don't see al or jesse there.

a reply to: hounddoghowlie

no, you dont see Jesse and Sharpton because they are now very old, and it seems to be the only two names of Civil rights attorneys the general public can know or remember. Most of these people and movements are utilizing counsel, of various nationalities and ethnicity, so you know. Two guys who were only popular in a particular decade are not necessarily needed to jet all over America for every civil rights litigation involving those of a darker complexion.
