With all that is happening around the country it would appear the BML movement and the wider "tear the country apart and rebuild it a different way" movement is much larger than we think.
I have three kids, youngest is 19, they are not caught up in this movement but one is sympathetic.
To me, it seems like what we see here is largely a group of people that either failed to thrive because of poor life choices and or younger people that have found it hard to transition from their parent's basements and XBox to the real world. I'm not trying to be flippant here.
Things are different now, it is truly more difficult to go out and make it in this world than it was when we were kids. However, there's more to it than that.
We had a sense of pride and hope growing up and always have.
There are two groups in this movement I feel. There are the good people that if they just had that hope and belief in God and Country that we grew up with they wouldn't be where they are today. And of course, there are others, those that relish a world where they can harm and cause violence. Sadly, I'd say that latter group is larger than we think. These two groups run the gambit of race and background, it's not truly a black vs white thing.
The first group, seeing no hope in their futures because media and school systems have skewed their thinking gravitate to this movement because it's about "Justice" and the "Greater Good". At least that's how they see it. So now, they don't have to have jobs, work hard, and tow the line. They are now part of something so much bigger and more important than that and find meaning in their lives now. They have a Cause, it gives them meaning, a reason for their existence that we have failed to give them as a country. I feel this is largely the cause of Democrats and their tactics.
I feel there is a better chance than we all think that we could lose the country to this mob. It's happened in history over and over again and we've all seen it coming for some time now. If Trump loses the election this is going to steamroll like never before, the government will become many times more tyrannical than it ever has been, telling us what to think, how to speak, and what to believe with failure to comply punishable by jail time or worse.
If Trump wins, expect rioting beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I don't see a good outcome in this, hope I'm wrong, but I think the people sympathetic to this movement are many, are the younger people, and if minds aren't changed, the future is theirs, but as we well know, it will be a horrible and violent future that they will regret, but sometimes a person has to go there to learn, such is history.
I think the end, the US Military is going to have to put down insurrection because the police will be unable to do so. I wouldn't want to be our President, but I will be voting for him again, but not just for me and my family but to prevent those people who are making terrible mistakes right now from making one so bad it cannot be undone.
God Bless President Trump
The organization “Black Lives Matter” is pretty open in their opinion that any life that isn’t black DOESN’T matter. Not whites, not Hispanics, not Asians, not Pacific Islanders, etc.
Should be pretty easy for Trump to blow them up if he starts talking about that.

I think much more people are on board with the concept than with the fundraising outfit.
Babies Lives Matter
The concept gets more attention than the fundraising. It’s news,
crowds, political, etc. as opposed to someone donating a few dollars, time, etc. jmo
A valid point of concern and discussion for successful and decent black people I know is that police are indeed routinely pulling them over and targeting them for just being black. There have been widespread incidents of brutality by too many LEO against blacks. A change is needed in that regard.
But that valid discussion is getting drowned out and obscured by the narrative of atavistic anarchists and losers who demand that (white) society now provide them affluence without effort, success without sacrifice, reward without risk, and comfort without social contribution. Because the real issue issue is getting buried by this nonsense, and most people cannot seem to separate facts from fiction, frustration is mounting on all sides. That’s the kind of thing that leads to war.
Almost everyone, apparently.
Bowel Movement Lingering?
Limbaugh was talking today about some organization that was raising money to bail out protesters.
$34 million raised, $200K spent on bail.
The rest obviously went into Democrat coffers.
BLM contributions apparently are funneled through ActBlue so obviously most of it gets skimmed for the same purpose.
Exactly. And that 200 thou probably only bailed out demonicRAT lawyers.
Thank you. I was beginning to think no one picked up on this.
The danger is now who gets to define what “Racism” is?
It’s the radicals, and they will use it to shut down all opposition and dissent.
More than many here would like to admit.
Along with the overblown, mishandled, virus scam.
The impeachment scam...the Russian collusion scam..the dossier scam...the Media is mostly fraudulent.
Dems are “hoaxers” and go to great length to convince themselves day is night and bad is good and losers are winners.
I agree with this. The Movement is much bigger and wider than we think. Our little narrow conservative mind is unable to comprehend that this is a global political movement. Sure, a lot of us say we get it but there is still a level of amazement at the breadth of it.
I have three kids, youngest is 19, they are not caught up in this movement but one is sympathetic.,/i>
I have no kids, but live in a Midwestern liberal arts college town. The empathy expressed by these young adults is coming from a place of guilt. They have been indoctrinated by their college regarding their white superiority against the helpless black person or POC. There is a real psychological mind twist in this indoctrinated perspective of seeing another race as a victim, instead of seeing how much hope the other has.
To me, it seems like what we see here is largely a group of people that either failed to thrive because of poor life choices and or younger people that have found it hard to transition from their parent's basements and XBox to the real world. I'm not trying to be flippant here.
Failure to thrive is a great talking point. I use it a lot when attempting to rehabilitate abused dogs and cats. Failure to thrive comes from a place of fear and incessant perceived victimization. This is important to realize as vast numbers of young people are perceiving being left behind in our fast-paced world. Psychologists often see this as those who peruse social media and compare those lives to their own. It might leave you wondering what fear or victimization happens on social media? Beyond the bullying that can occur is something called FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Think of it as peer pressure on steroids or meth. No matter where this generation turns they attuned to see victims instead of leaders and they've learned to distrust/resent most of those older than themselves. The resentment is instilled by their parents who never challenged them or parents who never encouraged them to seek a way better than themselves.
Things are different now, it is truly more difficult to go out and make it in this world than it was when we were kids. However, there's more to it than that.
I think the first part of this is a myth. We are just coming off the greatest economy America has ever seen. It has been more difficult, but nothing like our grandparent's day of the Great Depression...at least not yet. I do think, the more to it than that, rests in the psychological grooming of victimhood. Can one really grasp the idea of teachers telling children day after day how they are a victim of the system or worse telling your child their responsible for that victimization?
We had a sense of pride and hope growing up and always have.
Indeed we did. But if you are told from your pastor to teachers and even your parents and friends you are a victim of slavery, of racism, of white privilege and live in a blue area of the country where there is a system of keeping you feeling like a victim with no hope...well you get the point. White guilt/privilege only lives in the liberal system.
There are two groups in this movement I feel. There are the good people that if they just had that hope and belief in God and Country that we grew up with they wouldn't be where they are today. And of course, there are others, those that relish a world where they can harm and cause violence. Sadly, I'd say that latter group is larger than we think. These two groups run the gambit of race and background, it's not truly a black vs white thing.
This other group is more like fearful dog. Afraid they cannot change their circumstances or choices...so they lash out against the liberal system. The answer with a dog like that is to first start at a point where one makes them feel secure and then train them in the way they should go.
The first group, seeing no hope in their futures because media and school systems have skewed their thinking gravitate to this movement because it's about "Justice" and the "Greater Good". At least that's how they see it. So now, they don't have to have jobs, work hard, and tow the line. They are now part of something so much bigger and more important than that and find meaning in their lives now. They have a Cause, it gives them meaning, a reason for their existence that we have failed to give them as a country. I feel this is largely the cause of Democrats and their tactics.
Yes, this is the FOMO effect.
I feel there is a better chance than we all think that we could lose the country to this mob. It's happened in history over and over again and we've all seen it coming for some time now. If Trump loses the election this is going to steamroll like never before, the government will become many times more tyrannical than it ever has been, telling us what to think, how to speak, and what to believe with failure to comply punishable by jail time or worse.
If Trump wins, expect rioting beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I don't see a good outcome in this, hope I'm wrong, but I think the people sympathetic to this movement are many, are the younger people, and if minds aren't changed, the future is theirs, but as we well know, it will be a horrible and violent future that they will regret, but sometimes a person has to go there to learn, such is history.
Sadly, I don't disagree with you. Even if Trump wins...it is only 4 years if the country holds together that long.
I think the end, the US Military is going to have to put down insurrection because the police will be unable to do so. I wouldn't want to be our President, but I will be voting for him again, but not just for me and my family but to prevent those people who are making terrible mistakes right now from making one so bad it cannot be undone.
“A valid point of concern and discussion for successful and decent black people I know is that police are indeed routinely pulling them over and targeting them for just being black. There have been widespread incidents of brutality by too many LEO against blacks. A change is needed in that regard.”
I agree. Stats regarding police shooting of blacks do not support their protests nor do they address the issue you mentioned. Black acquaintances (and a somewhat black-looking Puerto Rican SIL) have long voiced complaints about being singled out for traffic stops based on their appearance. I doubt there are any stats kept that would support those concerns, but I do believe it’s a much more valid complaint than the police arbitrarily shooting “unarmed” black people.
What is “BML?” “body mass...” something?
I think of my self as unbiased. But I can’t support Black Lives Matter. They are too over the top for me.

35% blindly support it, no questions asked.
Just my opinion.
