Most Black Lives Matter demonstrators, especially most of the violent ones, seem to be woke white kids who have limited experience of just plain living. Experience teaches that most of the time not always, but the big majority of the time there are actually pretty good reasons things are as they are. You may not know those reasons, but even if you do and you haven't lived, say, 35 years or so, with a wife and kids and a mortgage and a job, you don't have enough leavening experience to recognize that in America, you are usually your own biggest problem. Understanding that and doing something about it that is, fixing yourself is so much harder than indignant self-righteousness and parading your virtue around.
Charles Love points out that "white people overwhelmingly [depict] black people as desperate and defeated, with no way to pull themselves out of their misery." Yet life experience puts the lie to the idea that whites have a white-privilege skin color advantage in America. Walt Williams notes that if you "totaled up the earnings and spending of black Americans and considered us as a separate nation with our own gross domestic product, we would rank well within the top 20 richest nations."

I really like that simple truth.
Got a new tagline.
The problem is the political construct of black. The term connotes homogeneity that is not real, that is in fact fictitious
The democrats coined the term to create a fictitious unity that is infact a diverse citizenry of people with black skin. There is a fairly large segment of that citizenry that is in fact criminal. The criminal faction is in fact largely disproportionate when compared with other societal citizenry.
To eliminate the criminal segment and embarrassment at its reality, all are lumped together as black. The lumped homogeneous fiction is then portrayed as a black version of Ozzie and Harriet with famalies like white people.
The black people have self segregated in the big cities where they vote in black leaders that are always, invariably corrupt. In a moment of feeling their oats, they elected such a corrpt black man as president of the United States The democrat party controls the urban black vote and thus the cities through the corrupt black leaders.
Donald Trump shook that relationship to the core by asking what have you got to lose? Although not truly the smarmy Ozzie and Harriet families, there enough educated and solidly middle class black people to break their chains and escape the democrat urban plantations slavery. The escapees on the modern day Trump underground railroad are a serious threat to the progressive effort to wrest control of America into marxist hands
The democrats have panicked. They have tried to once again force the artificial homogeneity by creating another construct Black Lives Matter It takes a strong person to deny that fact and all the connotations. The democrat leadership allowed the riots and looting and pillaging to get out of hand. They did not dare even think about opposing the black seditionist who were literally destroying their cities, their political strong points, their basis for existence.
Considering the fact that there are many many black criminals intent on destroying America, it is necessary to ask...... do all black lives really matter?
The biggest troublemaker you'll ever have to deal with is looking at you in the mirror every morning."
Nice!
I find it almost comical the majority of protestors for BLM are white.
The undercover organization to overthrow this country. They know racism freezes you in place. From this point on your a## is theirs. The neutering of the police by them and the bowing politicians funded by soros they create a scenario civil war.
Most of the people I know of any ilk are pretty chill.
There are a few loudmouths who self-proclaim themselves as representing (fill-in-the-blank), and more often than not, give (fill-in-the-blank) a bad name.
You can fill in the blank with just about any race, creed, place, vocation, etc.
BLM is one of the few clubs where the dues are paid to the members.
True and true.
Charles Love was the guest on a local radio show the other day. He was outstanding.
The other guest was Dr. Cyril Wecht, renowned physician and lifelong Democrat, ripping the COVID lockdowns to shreds.
You can hear it all here in the June 29 podcast.
