I've been thinking more and more about this BLM movement, and listening to its spokesmen, and the more I hear the more I don't like.

I absolutely believe that there is institutionalized racism in this country and that young black men are mistreated by police/ it's a real issue, we need to find ways to solve it, and I totally get the frustration and rage. But that doesn't make it right. These guys are divisive. As someone pointed out in the Bernie Sanders thread, they are more Malcolm X than Martin Luther King.

These people, like the Tea Party, like Occupy Wall Street, represent the growing extremism that is taking over the edges of our society. They don't seem to want rational discourse or real solutions. Instead they're just looking for a fight. Count me out.

 
West always seems so calm, cool and collected when I see him. Hard to believe he'd be supportive of the shrieking and yelling I saw on the video.

Your choice of thread title makes it pretty clear that you were never really counted in to begin with.

 
Very glad to see this. Tim said it far better than I have been able to this past year. Since day one I have found the whole BLM movement to be racist and corrupt. Glad to see it exposed, and I think what we are seeing now is the beginning of the end. A lot of damage has been done, but hopefully we can pick up the pieces and deal with the real underlying issues at play here.

Bernie marched with Martin Luther King, I think. Not sure why he was a target by BLM.

Future generations will view Tim's thread as the watershed moment for race relations in this country.

Or at least required to tattoo "I DON'T GET IT" on their forehead. I don't necessarily want to condemn them to a lonely existence orbiting our planet, but it would helpful if we could at least identify them so we don't waste time and energy on their opinions.

Farted in a library the other day and this lady smelled it and thought her baby #### his pants. Top 5 highlight of my life tbh.

I understand their point, but I don't agree with it. All lives DO matter. It grates me that Martin O'Malley had to apologize to these nuts. He shouldn't have.

I would love to see Hillary have a "Sista Souljah" moment with these people, but I doubt she will.

 
Didn't you guys ever watch that Disney movie about Hawaii and the space aliens?

Ohana. That means no one gets left behind.

Soon he will be on the 100 Greatest Americans list, alongside Joseph McCarthy.

He never qualified to be issued one.

 
I just visited the Black Lives Matter website and all of their goals are focused on law enforcement, both policies and individual law enforcement officers. But if their aim is to save black lives, there is definitely some lower hanging fruit...

 
Guns kill people, but so do cars, and knives and etc...

Cancer sucks, but so does heart disease, ALS, Diabetes..etc.
