Race baiters won't like this at all.

The interaction between a Black Lives Matter group and a Trump rally in D.C. over the weekend went in a direction that no one saw coming. In a rather remarkable moment, the leader of the BLM group was unexpectedly invited to take the stage at the Trump/pro-free speech rally and given the floor. By the end of the talk, the two initially hostile groups ended up cheering alongside each other.

Hank Newsome, leader of Black Lives Matter New York, took the stage, while another organizer announced on the mic that he was going to give the protest group a chance to give their message.

"It's about freedom of speech. It’s about celebration," said the Trump rally organizer. "So what we are gonna do is not something you’re used to, and we’re going to give you two minutes of our platform to put your message out."

Members of BLM then took the stage, several holding their fists in the air in the black power gesture, while the leader of the group began speaking.

"I am an American," the BLM leader began. "And the beauty of America is that when you see something broke in your country, you can mobilize to fix it."

The statement was met with cheers from the crowd.

"So you ask why there’s a ‘Black Lives Matter?’ Because you can watch a black man die and be choked to death on television, and nothing happened. We need to address that," he said. "We are anti-bad cop!" Newsome said. "We say if a cop is bad, he needs to get fired like a bad plumber, like a bad lawyer, like a bad politician!"

The people in the audience cheered and clapped.

After the event, Newsome said, "It kind of restored my faith in some of those people, because when I spoke truths, they agreed."

United we stand. Bravo.

That's why it's a good thing Rump wasn't there; it never would have been allowed to happen.

You know it is not unusual that most folks just want parity..

But the OP needs to do what is expected of her/him or it and input a personal thought on the subject...To enhance the moment, like a fine spliff...

That line earned loud cheers and applause. Responding to some in the crowd calling "All Lives Matter!" Newsome agreed.

"You are so right, my brother, you are so right. All lives matter, right?" he said. "If we really want America great, we do it together."

The pro-Trump crowd loudly applauded in response and broke out into a chant: "USA! USA!"

After the event, Newsome said, "It kind of restored my faith in some of those people, because when I spoke truths, they agreed."

"I feel like we made progress," he continued. "I feel like two sides that never listen to each other actually made progress today. Did I expect to go on that stage? No. I expected to come down here with my fist in the air in a very militant way, exchange insults, maybe some dirty looks, or who knows what. If not on a grander level, but just person to person, I think we really made some substantial steps, without either side yielding anything."

He continued: "I hope they understand that one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement is a proud American and a Christian, who cares deeply about the country and the people in it."

This is nothing new for BLM. But you have been race baited into believing different.

There hasn't been any improvement in race relations. This guy was saying what BLM has said all along. You guys are the ones who made up their racism.

And when you are so weak as to harp on an obvious typo.......

 

[LOIE]

cares deeply about the country and the people in it."

I believe this is the key. We need to care about the country as a whole and the people in it as individuals. We need to care less about things - politics - division - money - status - and care more about people. We really do have much in common. It's just that our differences are made to seem so insurmountable, when they really are not.

 

[IM2]

When a person understands that babies born in all races are normal, then perhaps we can take seriously a comment about caring deeply for a country.

What changed exactly? Cause it certainly wasn't the Black Lives Matter message.

 

[fncceo]

Race relations will never make any positive strides forward until we stop exaggerating our differences and start to embrace our similarities.

Better methods of policing is a priority for the entire community, not just the black communities.

Identity politics is toxic for everyone.

The Black Lives Matter message hasn't changed, yet you see posters in here talking about how things have changed since 45, because everyone is making American great again...together.

Actually "black lives matters" IS the VERY definition of race baiters in a nutshell. The rest of that is just yadda yadda delusional rhetoric.
