You see what you want to see. The question is, why would you want to see that?Geez Seawytch, using words like "liberators", "movement" and "front", it almost sounds warlike."We are a collective of liberators"What are the stated goals of BLM? Do you know? It’s NOT violence.

Sounds violent to me.
Wait...aren’t you the same guy sniveling about context a few posts back?
We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities. We must ensure we are building a movement that brings all of us to the front.
They sound like wannabe Sandinistas. The rhetoric is pretty provocative.
Every member of BLM who was there that day says they responded with nonviolence. "We came to march," Straughn says. "Some people assume Black Lives Matter is a violent organization, and we didn't want to give that impression. We came unarmed. We came with nothing but peace in our hearts and aggressive words for the Nazis. We knew that if we tried to engage them violently, we would be crucified by the media."
If BLM being described as nonviolent sounds strange to you, then you're probably watching too much Fox News. The movement has been wildly misunderstood partly because of how it's caricatured and demonized by right-wing media. "We absolutely don't consider Black Lives Matter a hate group," says Heidi Beirich, the head of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence project, which tracks hate groups. "Black Lives Matter is not a racist group; anyone can join. It's a movement to expand civil rights for the oppressed in this society. It's a peaceful protest against oppression. There's simply no equivalence between Black Lives Matter and a hate group. It's truly offensive to equate them."
The policy of nonviolence is shared by BLM activists around the country. "I refuse to cede the moral high ground to the supremacy we fight," says Brittany Packnett, an activist and co-founder of Campaign Zero, which aims to end police violence. "We don't need to become that which we are fighting."

A bowel movement, just to clarify.Way to go, lead off with a lie! BLM isn't an organization; it's a movement.Wow is this terrorist organization completely out of touch.
Not very original are you.A bowel movement, just to clarify.Way to go, lead off with a lie! BLM isn't an organization; it's a movement.Wow is this terrorist organization completely out of touch.
Wow is this terrorist organization completely out of touch...
1. What makes BLM believe they hold authority to “issue” anything to the public?
2. What makes BLM think that anyone cares what a terrorist organization has to say?
3. The only colored people who have conflicts with law enforcement are radicals like BLM.

Right. You're going to see what you want to see. You're happy to attribute to an entire group, the actions of a handful of individuals.
I guess we can then say that Tea Party "patriots" are violent cop killers, right?
Report: Suspects Covered Officers' Bodies With 'Don't Tread On Me' Flags
What a routine.
We need to follow Lincoln's plan from 157 years ago.
Put all of them on a boat and ship them the hell out of here.
Gee, but we would miss them so much. They are such key part of our society. Just Imagine how life would be without BLM.
Probably no worse than your daily blab sessions on USMB if they stopped..What a routine.

Clearly you don’t understand what the word “issue” meansThe answer to number 1 is the First Amendment.
Good grief...you were too lazy to even read the first sentence of the article before commenting?"Colored"? Did someone wake up in 1950? Racist mother fuckers.The only colored people
I was literally paraphrasing BLM themselves. And you literally just called BLM “racist mother fuckers”.Black Lives Matter issued a “travel alert” this week warning black people and other people of color to “exercise caution” while visiting the Minneapolis/St. Paul-area for Super Bowl LII.
Clearly you don’t understand what the word “issue” meansThe answer to number 1 is the First Amendment.
In the Dumbocrats 21st Century (where the fragile little butthurt snowflakes fall apart if someone doesn’t praise them the way they desire), everything “ain’t cool”. There is literally nothing acceptable by you facists other than “All Hail Obama” or “Praise the Dumbocrat Party”.Wake up to the 21st Century. It ain't cool.
‘Good Morning America’ Anchor Apologizes After Saying ‘Colored People’ On Air
Sure I can. I say it all the time. Watch...Poor baby, can't say colored
No only do I do it “IRL” (you’re not a teen sweetie - stop with the idiotic teeny-bopper abbreviations), but I even say it at work. Yep. In the office. In the very heart of corporate America. Said it a few months ago and it got epic laughs. True story. Deal with it.Start using "colored people" when you're speaking to people IRL, not just here on an anonymous message board.
I disagree.BLM is the militant arm of the dem party.
It often seems the PC police get more ridiculous by the day.today maybe. but it keeps changing and everything that could be remotely considered racist is taken off the table immediately the the race card out in force.
if you don't know them or their mindset, calling people racist for saying colored people vs. people of color - well that's on you and i'm not gonna follow that idea or path. doesn't mean i'm going to say either one, just get some thicker skin and stop demanding people live their life on your terms.
What a load. USMB is replete with endlessI am responding to the myths/lies/falsehoods/etc that ONLY whites are evilYour obsession with race is a bit sick. Skin colour has no bearing on criminal or violent tendencies.Ive seen the videos. the police shoot them in the back as they run away. Its wrong.someone please explain the logic in BLM and NAACP issuing warnings--a travel at your own risk--not against other blacks for MURDERING blacks--but against white discrimination !!!!
--this is how IDIOTIC these blacks are!!
you can't explain it --so don't tryhttps://nypost.com/2017/09/26/all-that-kneeling-ignores-the-real-cause-of-soaring-black-homicides/Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police
anyone with a fourth grade math level or above knows blacks should fear other blacks at an astronomically higher rate than police/whites/etc
compared to blacks murdering/shooting blacks, cops shoot blacks at almost a 0 rate
that's all we ever hear
you can't deny the math:
blacks commit more per capita at many times the rate--not just a little:
murder
crime
rape
hate crimes
etc
stating facts is not racist
I'm an activist/defender/etc of the white race which is constantly denigrated --while the other races are NOT--but as we see in the undeniable MATH, the blacks commit more hate crimes/etc per capita

Here's an example of how gross ignorance can quickly cause problems over innocent speech:
At a city hall meeting in Washington, D.C. [This happened in Jan 1999].
David Howard, the mayor's white ombudsman, said he would have to be "niggardly" with the scarce funds in the department's budget. One of his two interlocutors, Marshall Brown, who is black, left the room in anger. Mr. Howard offered his resignation, and Mayor Anthony Williams accepted it.
Niggardly means stingy. Its roots are in ancient languages. There is no evidence the word has any relation to the racial slur it may sound like. To say that being insulted by the use of "niggardly" is showing sensitivity to a racial epithet is to say that pride is a pathetic trait not worth having.
A word, a hair-trigger racial sensitivity, a job lost
