This is the only BLM news I could find in the last 24 hours.

Before this, the last story on the subject of BLM was the announcement that Ben and Jerry's has created a BLM ice cream.

Is it just my imagination, or has BLM and the ROP gone very quiet since the Trump's latest supposed troubles?

BLM are nothing but Soros funded chaos. They are racists and anyone claiming to be part of them should be fired from any job.

Well, that means not everyone in Charlottesville is nuts.
I was beginning to think that was the case.

I think the DNC told the BLM folks to keep a low profile, because their rants of “pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon” was not helping the democrats. And was ammo for Trump’s law and order message.

I’m not surprised he’s under attack for writing this, but I am somewhat shocked that a college professor is capable of telling the inconvenient and unPC truth.

Douglas Muir, an adjunct professor for the University of Virginia, wrote in a Facebook comment that Black Lives Matter is the “biggest” racist organization since the KKK. The comment was written last week in response to a Facebook post about a Black Lives Matter event in Charlottesville.

It’s not as alliterative, but there’s only two l’s (ells) in the KKK.

I’ll predict it won’t matter. Once rioters are stirred up, they will not resist the urge to riot, loot and burn.

I think there’s a good chance it might happen again before November’s vote.

Violence and chaos - it’s the game Soros wants them to play.

Thanks for the clarification.

When I read the headline I thought The University of Missouri makes the news again

I cut-and-pasted the headline directly from the WP site.

They apparently have no actual editors over there, although they may fix it by the time you check.

Sorry, not from the headline, from the opening sentence of the article.

They actually did get the spelling of “KKK” right.

He makes money by selling countries short while fomenting unrest and chaos in them.

Black lives don’t matter, and won’t matter until the very people who own them give a damned about them. Once they stop killing each other over sneakers, and being “dissed” then the majority of “their lives” don’t matter at all.

Professor, you are so right! I have been saying this all along. Exactly the same thing...just about a different race. Both, haters, and cults.
