Good point Trips, I am wearing a Cowboys shirt today and I don’t support the organization but do support the movement.  In the end many colleges are supporting this group and I realized I don’t really care as long as we win.  GO BULLS!

Of all the things you've ever said to offend me, that cut is the deepest. You should be wearing a Stars shirt ...

I would love that ..... even though I wish Bish was more involved, although if he was, Stars may not be in this position. Just knock the ******* Golden Knights out.

In college I volunteered at an after school program for a charter middle school where most students were living in government housing, the student demographic was about 80-90% minorities. So I’ve walked the walk and have witnessed the challenges in these communities first hand. I played basketball with the kids and went to a block party in a government housing project, to try to be a good role model for kids, some of whom had dads in jail. 

If these rioters and protesters wanted to help things they would be doing the same, instead they have a small army of rioters and they just harass businesses and other innocent people who are trying to live peacefully. 

If it was about really helping a community and not about just burning down capitalism, people would be willing listen. BLM the organization doesn’t have any solutions. Their solution is to just stir up hate along racial lines and raise money for democrat politicians. All of the money raised by BLM goes to Act Blue which is just a democrat fundraising group. It’s a purely political organization. They’ve collected hundreds of millions in donations and they could be building schools, resource centers, health clinics, funding free tutoring and job training programs, but they aren’t doing that. They are just a pass through to democrat campaigns.

And those who disagree with the violence and dislike the BLM organization because of it do care about these issues, but just disagree on the solutions, and are not going to support violent revolutionaries that will take this country down the path of tyranny. 

You admittedly don't live in those neighborhoods. You visited the situation enough to be familiar with it. You should know a much as I do that those communities are tougher on themselves than anyone else. 

When crime is high,  there isn't a politician or preacher who doesn't organize movements and community watches to combat it. 93% of protests are peaceful so I don't know why you're focusing on the 7%, especially when the blm movement is multi-racial and easily infiltrated by those wanting to change the narrative. 

The movement also doesn't have any leaders. So the YouTube video of one of the peele who started the # is nothing more than a tool used to scare people. That person has little to no influence on the movement as a whole.

Plus capitalism can't be all good. Americans can't get a living wage, afford higher education, afford healthcare, afford housing, live in food deserts...etc. A challenge to the system as a whole shouldn't be offputting. America can and should do better. 

Depending on your perspective, this country is as close as its ever been to tyranny. The solutions that are needed come with fixing the broken system,  not ignoring it, when it doesn't work for the majority of Americans. Plus the progressive movement of the democratic party is trying to do just what you suggested. So donating would do just that.

Thank you, it is nice to have a moderator that will keep Trips in line.

You seem to have grossly misunderstood my point... but no worries... Trip is fully capable of taking care of himself.

Have you ever visited or lived in a socialist or communist country?
