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.
