    BLM is fine with me as long as it’s not being used as a basis for extremism. At face value l just see it as the latest evolution of the civil rights movement. 

    The halftime show was pretty meh for me. I was kinda surprised that it was just the Weeknd, and no other artists were involved. It seemed like the last several years they tried to incorporate a lot of guest artists and l expected that again.

     unfortunately that ship sailed a long long time ago.

    Even more unfortunately true like the sign said at an antifa rally we don't want Joe Biden we want revenge. It's no longer about civil rights hasn't been for many many years.

      I don’t think any ship has sailed, but it’s going through its progression. We’ve seen this all before with iterations of civil rights movements. Things boil over, unrest and riots happen, things simmer down and cooler heads prevail, then something resembling change happens. This was the first thing l thought of when riots first started happening last year. Can we just skip ahead to the cooler heads part? But nobody lets me decide these things. 

      I’m also quite convinced that BLM and Antifa are very separate animals. Antifa has a whole anti-America thing going on whereas BLM wants better circumstances within America as far as l can tell.

        Thanks for letting us know your an idiot.

        BLM believe that rioting and looting is okay.  They also believe in defunding the police.  Any other revelations you want us to know?

        You waltz in here after the elections like your all naive, your a liberal cuck like the rest of you TDS morons.

          White people, here are 10 requests from a Black Lives Matter leader

          Aug 16 2017
           

          By Chanelle Helm

          [This article is part of a package covering Louisville’s reaction to Charlottesville. Check out the other pieces, including Ricky Jones’ column “Black People Should Arm Themselves Now!” and Erica Rucker’s “America… where are you going?”]

          Some things I’m thinking about that should change (in that Southern, black grandmama voice):

          1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

          2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

          3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

          4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

          5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

          6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

          7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the fuck they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

          8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

          9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

          10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

            Study: Up To 95 Percent Of 2020 U.S. Riots Are Linked To Black Lives Matter

            A report accompanying the data project, however, reads like an upscale attempt to blame the police for criminals’ decision to steal, kill, and destroy.

              You’re very welcome hammertime. I’m not really that liberal. I just don’t get too riled up about some things that we have an historical basis of comparison to draw from on how it all ends up. 

              Yep, rioting and looting. Looting and rioting. It’s a drag man. We’ve seen it before. Just waiting for the cooler heads part. After that things get better.

                So you stand by your BLM assertions?

                Are you a racist?

                      I’m unclear on what assertion you think l’m making. That we’ve seen stuff like this before? That how it unfolded in the past might give some indication on how it unfolds now? What it means to have a cool head?

                              I was basically just trying to draw parallels between the current civil rights movement and civil rights movements of the past. Stuff like this has happened before. 

                              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_rights_movements

                              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_rights_movement_(1865–1896)

                              There have been pockets of mini-movements as well, like in 1992 with Rodney King and the LA Riots.

                              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots

                              Periods of violence erupts and then subsides giving way to calmer times with incremental change along the way. It’s an historical patters. 

                              I suppose l was trying to tack onto my point of this being the latest evolvement of the civil rights movement, and we can all look forward to a period of calm once the cycle has run its course.

                                  Periods of violence erupts and then subsides giving way to calmer times with incremental change along the way. It’s an historical patters. 

                                  I suppose l was trying to tack onto my point of this being the latest evolvement of the civil rights movement, and we can all look forward to a period of calm once the cycle has run its course.

                                  I was basically just trying to draw parallels between the current civil rights movement and civil rights movements of the past. Stuff like this has happened before.

                                  I bleed I think you should make a similar post to this and put it up in its own right. I think it's a good point even though it kind of hijacks the Super Bowl thing. 

                                  I would do it but more people hate me than you. Hahaha
