Danny, not all black people are like these rabble-rousers. Please acknowledge that each group out there has bad apples.
Caption, the way these guys are going about this is completely wrong. Please stop justifying their s***** behavior. They're barging into businesses and disrupting people's breakfast. That's f****** rude, and a surefire way to piss people off. If you have a message, there are far better ways to send it than burning bridges and making people of all colors and creeds hate you. Just imagine if I had a political gripe and made it a point to disrupt your daily meals with screaming and a megaphone. After the 20th day of doing my level best to make life suck for you, are you going to sit there and be alright with it? Imagine if these same rude tactics were used against you, CC. Regardless of ideology, this tactic is an unwise one, and is the wrong way to go about causing change.
Wow...So lets get this straight. You see white and black people there but black people are the problem....ok?
They are "protesting wrong" and despite the fact that you dont believe they should be protesting at all, you have a better way of doing it that you forgot to type in that paragraph.
OH NO! NOT BREAKFAST! They shouldnt be inconvienced with facts about murder over an English Muffin! Guess what? Anyway any black person decides to say something about the system will "piss people off" so what?....Protests are about getting out a message, not about hoping that everyone loves you for it.
Oh, I do understand that there are also wayward whites and other minorities within this group of protesters.
Wayward whites? What happened to being stupid and disruptive? Jeez, two people doing the same thing and you only find fault with the black people influencing these nice white people?
As we can both see the majority of these specific disruptors are black, and they're peddling a decidedly extremist view with racist elements. It's reminiscent of the racism of activist whites in decades past and, as you know, all racism no matter the skin color is wrong.
Is it racist when white people are joining them? Or is an inconvenient fact that you dont want to address?
As for your second paragraph, I think you should rephrase it, because it's not quite clear. In spite of that I'll try to pick out the discernible bits within it. These protesters are protesting what they believe are bad things that happened to people of their own skin color.
Actually I'm pretty sure, wait, no yep...I'm positive that murder is actually a bad thing.
Do note that they don't appear to be protesting in favor of white "victims" of police violence. We both know that there are legitimate cases of police violence, but we also know that there are thugs, black and white, who made very stupid decisions that ended up with them getting killed. Consider that one young black man who pulled out a gun at police and was shot to death.
Also consider the black man who didnt and was shot to death....Which do you think they are protesting? Of course you'll say they are siding with criminals and choose to ignore death by cop who are unarmed but boy oh boy....I bet you can make an arguement about how "scarey" they were to justify it tho
Some of the more radicalized protesters are now protesting against that, as if even truly justified uses of deadly force are out of bounds. There's also the matter of how clearly these protesters are seeing things, or if they're simply ranting and raving based on what they see through tinted glasses. You know the type, I'm sure.
No one, not one person is protesting lawful shooting, but continue pretending tho
Ruining peoples' breakfasts is going to make them legitimately angry at you, and hate you. Instead of behaving maturely and civilly, they go about being obnoxious, crass, rude, and in-your-face. How do you expect people to want to give you any credence when you're acting like a loser?
Those are small minded people. If talking about murder makes you hate the messenger then those people can go **** themselves. think about it like this. Did anyone care when the 2nd amendment folks walked around with guns? Did someone not like that? Did the gun nuts give a **** if someone didnt like them exercising their rights?
Do you think screaming at me like some crazed animal is going to make me feel any sympathy for you whatsoever? I do not think so. I'm going to feel sorry for you, and feel bad for the other people of your skin color that you are shamelessly embarrassing. They bring disgrace to their race, like the KKK does to white people. If you think burning bridges is what you do to get what you want, that is an outdated and bad way of thinking, and is something toddlers do when they are mad. I am willing to listen to you if you behave like a civil, respectful, and responsible adult.
No one cares abotu your sympathy...obviously you dont know the goal of protesting. Again, the right has not supported ANY PROTEST in the last 60 years. So its no wonder they dont support this one. LOL..the "doing it wrong" is just an excuse when they really mean "dont do it at all"
You have eyes, CC, and you know full well that I wasn't speaking only of black people when it comes to these childish tactics. That you seem to be ignoring this is indicative of you being dishonest in this thread while not being truly interested in a fair and honest discussion with everyone else here. What I do wonder is whether or not this is a typical thing. These select protesters are being stupid, disruptive, crazed, obnoxious, and annoying. They're a stain on the legacy of the black race. Whether you acknowledge it or not I don't care, because my message is far more important than your reception of it.
Now, hear me. I never said it was solely the fault of the black protesters within this group. There are lackeys within it that are being just as stupid, but they are far fewer in number and just as crazy.
Did you not read their signs. or are you ignorant of what is being said by this group of people? These idiots have said that they can't be racist because they are black. They also use the term "white spaces," which is just as s***** and racist as saying "black spaces, etc. You know this. If you took an hour or two to actually read the #blackbrunch link, you would see that some in this group are saying that white people have no right to be in this country. That is racist, and just as wicked if the shoe were on the other foot.
What they think is murder is explicitly a matter of opinion. If you think it is, that does not mean it is. Belief is not synonymous with fact, and each political side has its fair share of crazies, as history has shown. And furthermore, Mr. Caption, I could very well "believe" that some things are murder that you may not think are. See how faulty your naive declarations are? I feel you should step back and re-evaluate what you're saying, because what you so strongly believe may not actually be the case.
And as for your later segment I dismiss it outright, because I am not the same kind of person you're probably fond of debating. I do not automatically assume that every black man shot to death by police must have been a thug. Not all. Judgment rushes from the Right, like those from the Left, are detrimental and plain wrong. There are some cases that leave me wondering, as they should, but there are also cases that are pretty obvious and shouldn't be some rallying point for certain protesters to champion. Being shot for playing loud music is wrong, shooting into a dark stairway without knowing who's there is damned dubious, and strangling someone to death who was resisting arrest I do find excessive. That does not mean the other cases are legitimate, nor does it give these childish protesters a right to ruin other peoples' Sundays.
There certainly are those protesting justified use of deadly force, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. Someone tried running police down with a car and was shot dead, and I do remember hearing on the news that some protesters were throwing rocks about it.
What you believe is murder may or may not actually be murder. It doesn't matter what you believe, but what can be ascertained as true based on the objective evidence. Are you really going to stand aside when some crazy conservative comes at you and screams about how some on
your side of the aisle are murderers, and stand down because "oh, he believes it so it must be true. Let's be real here.
No sane and reasonable person cares about what these select protesters want. They give a bad name to black people, they give a bad name for civil protesters, and they give a bad name for humanity in general. Behaving like a low-life loser while messing with people's breakfast is a surefire way to get hated by everyone, including other black people and Leftists. You really think these patrons like spending $$$ for a good meal only to get screamed and shouted at mid-meal and harassed? What world are you living in where you have no consideration or respect for others? Who do you think you are? You have the right to behave like a vile piece of excrement, and you have every conceivable right to be mocked for decades to come.
I do hope your breakfast you paid for gets ruined in the same way by the people you ardently support. Wouldn't that be ironic.
