Wacka Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) You mow that your stand is wrong if it gets Leo Terell to turn against you. He was on Hannity the other day and said that if you want law and order and safe streets, you have to vote for Trump. Never in a million years would I think that he would utter those words, Edited July 8, 2020 by Wacka 3
JaCrispy Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, B-Man said: Not All Black Lives Matter to Black Lives Matter This week, CNN's Don Lemon, who has spent the last few weeks bashing the supposed thoroughgoing systemic racism of the United States, hosted black actor Terry Crews. He then proceeded to browbeat Crews, who had committed the great sin of tweeting, "#ALLBLACKLIVESMATTER 9 black CHILDREN killed by violence in Chicago since June 20, 2020." Lemon specifically objected to Crews' hashtag. After Lemon humbly informed Crews that he has skin "as tough as an armadillo," he then lectured: "The Black Lives Matter movement was started because it was talking about police brutality. ... But that's not what Black Lives Matter is about. It's not ... all-encompassing ... The Black Lives Matter movement is about police brutality and injustice in that matter, not about what's happening in black neighborhoods." This, of course, is largely false. The Black Lives Matter movement did indeed begin with protests about police brutality but quickly morphed into broader debates over the validity of looting and rioting, tearing down historic statues, slavery reparations and defunding the police. And Black Lives Matter, as Crews correctly pointed out, has never restricted its mandate to the question of police violence: It has announced that its focuses also include police brutality, transgender rights, gay rights, disrupting the nuclear family and freeing Palestine, among other diverse topics. So why is Lemon so deeply invested in preventing conversations about black lives? Why, in fact, do only some black lives matter, rather than all? That's not merely a question asked by conservatives or contrarians. It's being asked all over the United States by black Americans being left to the predations of criminals, in large part thanks to the woke virtue signaling of many Black Lives Matter leaders and media allies. In Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser emblazoned the enormous yellow words "BLACK LIVES MATTER" on 16th Street. Protesters quickly added "DEFUND THE POLICE." One month later, 11-year-old Davon McNeal was shot in the head while heading to a family cookout on July 4. His grandfather, John Ayala, lamented: "We're protesting for months, for weeks, saying, 'Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter.' Black lives matter it seems like, only when a police officer shoots a black person. What about all the black-on-black crime that's happening in the community?" McNeal was just one of the latest victims of a wave of violence gripping America's major cities. Last weekend, at least 89 people were shot in Chicago, leaving at least 17 dead. Shootings in Philadelphia have spiked 67%. In the first week of June, Los Angeles saw a shocking 250% increase in murders from the prior week. New York City's shootings have skyrocketed 44% over last year's numbers; every person shot there the week of June 29 -- 101 -- was from a minority community. It turns out that the agenda of Black Lives Matter, which includes fighting against the prevalence of police -- a call taken up by Democratic mayors and city councils around the United States -- endangers black lives far more than the presence of police. Yet these lives don't particularly matter for Black Lives Matter advocates, apparently. Black lives matter when we're talking about police brutality. But Don Lemon has no airtime each night for those who seek to talk about threats to black lives that dwarf in severity problems related to policing -- and that are just as newsworthy. Indeed, the statistical case is unassailable that the daily murder of minority youths in America's major cities is far more newsworthy than the latest cable panel discussion of "white fragility" or the "power of whiteness." But our current Black Lives Matter moment isn't about Davon McNeal, even if the wages of Black Lives Matter's recommended policies are death for those left unprotected by law enforcement. All that matters for too many in our elite institutions is the narrative that America's systems are the greatest obstacle to black Americans. And not all lives lost are equally valuable in promoting that perverse narrative. https://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2020/07/08/not-all-black-lives-matter-to-black-lives-matter-n2572074 So, let me get this straight...when BLM gets upset when people say All Lives Matter, it’s not because they think you’re equating black deaths to other races, but literally because NOT ALL black lives matter to them??? Interesting...tell me more... Edited July 8, 2020 by JaCrispy
JaCrispy Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Love the thread, but it should really be changed to “Marxist Protests” because Liberals and Conservatives are allies against Marxism. ? 2

IDBillzFan Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 You know what else is racist? Traffic signals. Because it means blacks have to wait for little white men to give them permission to cross the street. Some of you have lost your damn minds. 1

BillStime Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Looks like Trump has given those who want to fly the Confederate flag the green light. Congrats! Trump declares US in 'culture war,' calls flying Confederate flag 'freedom of speech' Given Trumps logic - does that now mean those who want to wear a swastika-Trump themed face mask from Amazon is ok, too? If not, why?
