What white person is going to answer that he doesn’t support “black lives” when asked?

Polls are increasingly worthless.

An estimated 15 million to 26 million Americans have taken to the streets to protest police violence and advocate for Black lives.

FakeNews.

“An estimated 15 million to 26 million Americans have taken to the streets” -— I seriously doubt those numbers. No way.

There is, and has been, a long time belief among many blacks that racism is a major problem in the USA. I suggest the issue is mental illness such as a mass delusion among many blacks.

We don't have a video of what happened. I suspected they both initiated it. Zimmerman wasn't blameless either. The police told him to stand down.

One side said Trayvon was 14 years old ad Zimmerman was a racist. Even though Trayvon was 17 and Zimmerman had led a protest over the police beating up a homeless black man.

The other side says Trayvon was some kind of criminal Rambo because he had purple drank and got caught with Marijuana on him, which isn't true either.

Sorry, I'm not going to go in the, "all whites are bad," or "All blacks are bad," camp.

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school for beating a female bus driver.

If they’re engaging in street fights they probably are.

You better go out and arrest 60% of the white kids between 15 and 25.

I don't know about the other stuff, but 80%, or more, of what's on social media is B.S.

What I don't here is he was arrested or charged with a violent crime. Any thug who fails that test, isn't worth the name. And, not for nothing, he was a minor.

Someone could also raised the fact that George Zimmerman was arrested twice for domestic violence, tried to sell a gun on social media, was involved in a road rage shooting, and posted naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend online for revenge and say he was a thug.

But neither one of them are thugs.

It was ridiculous that the D.A. tried to charge Zimmerman with first degree murder, and the jury decided that.

Did Trayvon Martin bring you chocolate chip cookies and mow your lawn for free?

I don't have a lawn, and how about oatmeal raisin?

Maybe white support for BLM will decrease as much as black support for BLM.

It would only be fitting if BLM lost their tax exempt status and all those donations were not allowed as deductions.

I had never heard that, but I looked it up. All the sources I could find said he was suspended three times for marijuana, tardiness, and graffiti. Nowhere does it say he was suspended for anything else.

There was an article where there were some tweets on twitter implying something about the bus driver, but that is not any kind of valid evidence.

If you have some authoritative evidence, please post it.

If he beat a bus driver, he should have been arrested.

That is a stupid straw man argument. I said nothing about arresting Trayvon for his street fighting.

I don't know about the other stuff, ...

No, you don't know about that stuff or anything about the Trayvon/Zimmerman case you're just ignorantly spouting off as usual.

Someone could also raised the fact that George Zimmerman was arrested twice for domestic violence, tried to sell a gun on social media, was involved in a road rage shooting, and posted naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend online for revenge and say he was a thug.

That shows just how ignorant you are. All of those things happened after the incident with Trayvon. None of it goes to his state of mind at that time.

You could have mentioned that before he shot Trayvon he tutored black kids, helped elderly black neighbors when they were attacked, he and his wife spent their own money trying to make a case against the police for beating a black homeless man ... but that wouldn't support your SJW mentality would it?

I agree. That would mean that nearly 8% of the population participated, including newborns and nonagenarians. In my country maybe .3% participated in a ‘protest’.

One HAS to wonder why ANY person (white or black or brown) would support such an evil group!

I mean, ONLY Anti-American, American-hating LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Democrats belong.

Who, in their right mind would join such an evil group, and why is the US government putting up with their looting, rioting murderous crap?

Why are the American people putting up with their looting, rioting murderous crap?

When will the BLM be declared a domestic terrorist group?

Excerpted FRom https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331:

“(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—

(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of
the United States or of any State; . . . “

DOJ MUST get involved!
