The founders of BLM are openly Marxist. They do not hide it. Their movement has shown signs of extreme violence, and their website states that they want to tear down the structure of the nuclear family and hints at wanting to abolish capitalism.

People need to educate themselves about what this group is really all about. They gave themselves a name that makes you sound racist if you disagree, but this is absolutely NOT a 1960s style peaceful protest group.

The fact that Hollywood types and large corporations donate money to this group is absolutely fricking terrifying.

There are some bad folks within the movement, I get that. There are also some normal folks who are just looking for equality. Not all of them are extremists looking to blow down your door. Just like not all cops are racist dickheads.

And they're all at the top of the organization, hijacking the efforts of otherwise well-intentioned people.

Equality of opportunity already exists. They want equality of outcome (socialism/Marxism).

Don’t give a frick about kneeling... and give less than zero fricks about BLM, The less of those and the people that support them, the less sewer we have to clean daily.

The ones at the top are all that matters. They are the puppet masters who have led the low IQ idiot players to grab hold to the coat tails of a marxist organization. I can’t stand for willful stupidity based on a lack of educating oneself. These players are to dumb to understand how they are being used. They are supporting a marxist organization that has crafted a slogan to label a person racist if they are intelligent enough to see through their disingenuous bull crap. Most of these players support that organization without a clue as to who they really are. That is unacceptable and there is no excuse worth entertaining. Watch away and keep whistling by the graveyard. It’s a matter of principle to some so much that they will not watch or support any longer. For others who sports is the be all and end all of their existence...excuses will always be available to rationalize why they continue to watch.

I'm pretty sure you have no idea, why they are saying they want equality. If only we all just listened to why A and B are saying this and that. Instead of quickly dismissing the claims

No. They want to tear down the traditional nuclear family and have strongly hinted at wanting to tear down capitalism.

It sounds like I am more educated than you about the group. Do you know where donations to BLM go? Do you know who processes those payments? Have you ever read their mission statement and beliefs? If not, I would highly suggest educating yourself. This is a dangerous, dangerous group who has deceived the public with their name.

Because of my job, I had to read up on how they receive donations and who processes their payments. It's shady at the very best and in reality is a money laundering machine.

ETA: Folty looks like he spent his whole offseason smoking crack. He looks pale, rail thin, and like he has lost some strength. His stuff will not play when his fastball is barely touching 90. I hate it for him that he got DFA'd but it was the right thing to do.

Are you familiar with Russell conjugation (or emotive conjugation?)

It is exploitation on the gap between the emotional content for a word and its true meaning.

An example is the term "political correctness". Who doesn't want to be correct, politically? What kind of imbecile wants to be politically incorrect? The actual usage of the term "politically correct" is a weapon. It isnt civil. If you are against the weaponization of "politically correct", then you are anti-PC (whether you are a decent person or not).

"Black Lives Matter". I've never seen anyone say that black lives dont matter (other than Don Lemon). But the continued pushing of the verbatim "Black Lives Matter" implies that there is a resistance to that idea. Saying "lives matter" or "all lives matter" is inclusive of "black lives matter". That is an easy and true concept, but it isnt satisfactory to the "black lives matter movement". Don Lemon just said that "black lives matter" doesnt care about all black lives. Only the black lives taken by law enforcement (about 10 unarmed black men a year).
The meaning and emotion of a true statement "black lives matter" is not the meaning of the BLM movement. But if you resist the BLM movement, you stand to be accused to be against black lives (all inclusive).

Similar examples of Russell conjugation would be the Patriot Act. Affordable Care Act. The Great Society.
