Shut up and play basketball? Donāt say anything until youāve informed yourself of the facts? Pretend to read a book on Malcom X? Donāt demonize someone who just saved the life of a black girl? Ask why none of the adults in the area stopped the girl?

Never started, Iāll listen to a pro athlete talk about their experiences that can be interesting or their take on their sport, but other than that, Iāll get my opinions on everything else from elsewhere.
There is a real disconnect with reality, some guy was asking a crowd of BLM supporters how many unarmed black men did they think the police killed last year, and they are like 1000ās, it was actually something like 12.

I always find it odd how BLM donāt protest when some innocent black kid is gunned down in Chicago by a criminal.
Yet a cop shoots a would-be murderāriots.
Surely the big problem is blacks getting killed by other blacks.
Itās called the tail wagging the dog, the media place a very strong emphasis on white cop and unarmed black men cases that reality is distorted for many. The further left you go, the greater the distortion from the truth.
Great study here goes into actual numbers, perceived numbers and by who (left or right) lines up with videos I saw recently where some BLM folks were being interviewed and were calling the killing of unarmed black people happening in the 1000ās a year (there were 12 last year) and a genocide.
Actually a great study, getās a lot of perceptions from both sides wrong. For example.
In France, the average person in 2016 thought that the country was 31% Muslim; the correct answer was 7.5%. In the U.S. and Canada, the same survey shows that people estimated their countries to be 17% Muslim, compared with the actual 1% and 3%, respectively. Anti-immigration whites overestimate more than liberal whites.
It just goes to show people are WAY off in their estimates of what is going on, but their biasās play a role in that and the media plays an important role too.

Well, they should. What they do presently seem to do is not conducive to the idea that informing the public good not be directly related to any particular policy. Bill Maher spoke to this last week. The Left is woefully misinformed about covid hospitalization rates for example.
Did anyone ever think they werenāt doing this? Buller? Buellerā¦
Deep state same old same old.
Malignant leadershipā¦ouchā¦thatās gonna trigger someone;
Double ouch.
It wonāt. For the Black Lives Matter and Antifa fascists the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. The lynch mob doesnāt give a damn about George Floyd or black lives. They havenāt got the slightest interest in the justice or injustice of any case, this one included. Their attitude is: How can we use this case to advance our real agenda which is overthrowing the American political and economic system and instituting a totalitarian state?
They do all the time. The whole movement is predicated upon that idea. (Sometimes itās Chicago, sometimes itās St Louis, sometimes Kenosha). BLMās most ardent haters only care when that criminal is another black man though, because it ticks off the āblack on black violenceā box.

Good, I thought it was odd when the Love Trumps Hate poster went up on my (shared) classroom door. When I mentioned Putting up a MAGA sign for equity of ideologyā¦it came down.
This is much better. If you want the conversation, have it. Donāt hobble people who hold opposing views for the get go. 
Somebody just shot one of the British BLM leaders in the head.
I read the in the Guardian. Interesting considering how difficult it is to get a gun in the UK (allegedly). She was dressed like a Black Panther in the photo, so there is a live/die by the sword vibe there, but otherwise basically no details about who might have done it, or what she might have been involved inā¦
A good opportunity for a conspiracy theorist, methinks.
It used to be relatively hard, although the hard core criminals were always able to get their hands on them, seems the trend has been towards ease of availability and this article is from 2008.

It was a money-laundering scheme and a whole bunch of that money, donāt want to get anybody in trouble, but yes, I do. A whole bunch of that money was funneled to the Democratic Party and Joe Biden and his teamās whole scenario.
Someone just directed me to this:
You can see her here direct some hate towards a black man who thinks her ideology is bullshit: https://youtu.be/30gJjk-oqX8?t=56
I turned it off the second time she called him a ācoonā
Oh, this lady. Iāve seen this before.
Social mediaās revealed just how daft many politicians are. They shoot their mouths off about motives without waiting for facts to come through.
The moment I saw that Johnson was shot at 3 am outside a house party I thought this isnāt an assassination.
