Poll: Support for Black Lives Matter grows among white youth (GenForward again)
Associated Press ^ | Sep 5, 2016 3:19 PM EDT | Jesse J. Holland and Emily Swanson

Support for the Black Lives Matter movement has increased among young white adults, according to a poll that suggests a majority of white, black, Asian and Hispanic young adults now support the movement calling for accountability for police in the deaths of African-Americans.

Fifty-one percent of white adults between the ages of 18 and 30 say in a GenForward poll they now strongly or somewhat support Black Lives Matter, a 10-point increase since June, while 42 percent said they do not support the movement.

But most young whites also think the movement’s rhetoric encourages violence against the police, while the vast majority of young blacks say it does not. And young whites are more likely to consider violence against police a serious problem than say the same about the killings of African-Americans by police. …

"They teach in high school that BLMers are the good guys."

So that's when you started a petition movement to get that Leftist SOB fired, right? A complete review by the PTA of teaching materials and techniques was also part of the petition, right?

Right?

From the beginning, BLM has been supported by white youths more than black.
I think young whites think it’s hip and kind of a throwback to the 60’s.

(I mean I observe this for excellent reason... not that fighting God is ever excellent.)

You can’t “deprogram” squat when lies reign, and you can never make truth stand by brute force.

Sorry, I'm a little slow and therefore didn't catch your drift. You're not saying we shouldn't do anything, and just sit idly by let God handle it, are you?

And unless this is FIRST preceded by humble petitions to God (not crowing about how excellently you are supposedly doing His work) it blows back in Satanic fashion...

First things first! The power to conquer can ONLY be had on our knees.

I’m saying we MUST MUST MUST MUST get square with God FIRST.

I see lots of arrogance skipping this.

I recently got into an argy-bargy with a freeper chap who saw red whenever socialists were blamed for something.

As usual, it's difficult to figure out what you're saying. Someone here on FR gets angry when socialists are blamed for something?

Well, you sure can't deprogram squat by sitting around and making excuses for not doing anything.

Yes, “as usual,” because I follow lines of thought that are not in the usual ruts that are seen on FR.

Yes it happened.

Your FIRST move MUST MUST MUST be to gather the proper weapons.

And no that ain’t human-generated petitions to more fallen humans.

And how did you infer that getting square with God isn't part of my plan?

Because you skipped that part and there is so much hotness on FR to skip it, that’s why. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.

And your SECOND move MUST MUST MUST be to wrap those weapons in a package that their intended recipients will open, not just discard as something uncool.

IOW, hand a kid a Bible, or start preaching to him, and he'll shut you out faster than you can say Pokemon Go. You have to give him the message in a form that he'll accept.

Or are you talking about each of us praying for individual guidance? In that case, that's should've been done a long time ago, and that guidance been put at least into outline form by now. It's time to start acting, and stop talking.

Just because I didn't say "pray first, then do something" doesn't mean prayer isn't part of the plan. It's part of the daily preparations, in fact.

Don't assume that just because we don't say "pray first", we aren't.

No. That would have been pointless and futile, because the whole Howard Zinn-based curriculum is leftist, as is most of the education establishment and many of the parents in the benighted Massachusetts community in which I reside.

What I did was help my very conservative daughter learn how to argue against the crap he was teaching, and how to research her weekly papers to make those arguments both in writing and orally to the class when appropriate.

I helped her research her counter arguments, and she blew his mind. To his credit, he gave her As on everything she wrote, and an A in the course.

My goal was to make sure my daughter was properly educated on American history and current events, and I succeeded with flying colors.

He was stunned during the lessons on how FDR cured the depression and saved capitalism with his new deal, when my daughter walked into class with a copy of FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression by Jim Powell", and subsequently wrote her paper pointing out that unempoyment never fell below 14% during the entire New Deal, and how the forgotten Depression of 1921 showed that when the government stayed out of the economy after the crash of that year, the economy recovered in two years.

I'm glad she had that opportunity to learn and research and make cogent well researched arguments about critical issues.

I'm just sorry that none of the other kids in the class had similar influences.

Did you talk with other like-minded parents (if there are any)? I mean that's great, making sure your daughter is raised to think critically, and not just accept without question whatever rotgut propaganda some smartass Leftist "educator" throws at her.

So what's the next step?
