Neither. Just because you create a dichotomy trap doesn't mean I have to wander blindly into it.

I've only said it like 10 times in 10 different ways. BLM is just another mob, gang, clique. They're just as bad as neo-nazis, or any other stupid group. I do NOT give mobs, gangs, etc., any credit for any thing... except stupidity, regression... etc.


so you condemn the maga mob?

And you wonder why BLM exists lmao. You're such a delicate person, no wonder we lost Vietnam. You think that saying that a black life matters means that they are somehow black supremacists. LMFAO

How can you write the first sentence and then not see how your 2nd sentence is a contradiction?



It is not a contradiction because a group of bad police officers does not equal the entire country?

Another dichotomy trap. Watch it... I may fall for this one. :/

Damn! Not this time. I keep trying to be mindless and to fall for your spiel, but I just can't get there.


A little over 100 years ago, this country decided to do away with mobs, gangs, groups, cliques, posses, tribes, etc. Some keep slipping through, but in general we're doing pretty good.

We have socially acceptable mobs, with strict rules. Like sporting events and political rallies. In them you're allowed and expected to yell and scream and get each other all fired up. But it's supposed to end there.
When you exit the event you're supposed to return to sanity.

Other mobs like BLM, KKK, neo-nazis, religions, etc., ... don't have the strict rules. And even when folks leave those events, they can't let go of the anger, hatred, fanaticism, etc. People should think for themselves. They shouldn't be swayed by what the guy next to them is screaming about. Only 3rd world countries haven't learned this yet, and you can see where it gets them.

We're witnessing live, exactly why mobs are bad. Day three and we've already started killing indiscriminately. And that's just the deaths we know about.




/e I wish I had some cold pudding in the fridge. I'm jonesing for some cold pudding.

It's a significant portion of the country that won't even acknowledge the issue.

Ya im willing to accept that, but that isn't the same thing as saying Black lives do not matter. I don't want to get too caught up in semantics just because my main issue is just with the name of "Black lives matter". The reason I take issue with it is because the same movement wants to describe every problem facing black america as 'institutional' racism, and that the system is keeping them down because america as a whole is racist and it needs to be rebuilt from bottom up. I very much disagree with that premise and I think its very harmful to teach young black children that. I do believe there is problems that black people face that are keeping them perpetually under, but i do not believe its institutional racism. But what comes with saying that because I disagree with the points BLM movement makes, I am dismissed outright as 'not believing black lives matter' simply because I disagree with their premise as to why black people are facing hardships in this country.

There's no way to miss the fact that some police officers make mistakes, for w/e reason.
Considering the number of incidents and the number of police officers... the incident percentage is very, very low.
