OT: BLM protesting downtown Greenville...
- Thread starter vatiger1
- Start date
Thought it was a peace rally. Has something happened to make such radical comments? Let's just hope any radicals from either side will stay at home. It's comments like this that can be mistaken and negatively insightful. We all need to learn to be patient and understandin of each other.
yea, the mob shoved the only Cop on the corner of Main/North ave out of the way -who said they can't go into the event protesting.
They stated to raise your fists and fight back. The crowd attending the Jazz event started booing the protestors. Finally, the event crew finally unplugged the Mic so they left the stage.
Really just one or two of the protestors who are being forceful and pretty extreme.
The main guy started bashing the Church - Redemption World outreach in Gvl for some reason and then power was cut.
Oh well, back to the entertainment.

As long as Higgins and Cain ain't there I'm good
I wish BLM would protest more like MLK preferred. Good cause, but appear to be too aggressive for my tastes.
Good cause? Have you actually researched what they protest? These people use fear and intimidation to what is basically a shakedown. They are no better than the KKK in Mississippi 50 years ago.
Wow. Comparing lynching and systemic racism and segregation to a bunch of poorly organized teens and 30 somethings who are loud and obnoxious--even to Bernie Sanders. This thread delivers.
I think he's saying he understands the BLM movement but not the aggression/intimidation involved. Read a little harder - he says he prefers MLK's movement because it was peaceful for the most part.
The cause is good, the way they go about it is questionable.
Were you around to see some of those MLK marches, calm on the front end but they torn up some stores and towns on the back end.
I wasn't around, but my father was (marched with him) and they got tore up. That's not really the climate anymore, I prefer peaceful protest.
The cause was good when it first started. After it attracted people with bad intentions who openly incite riots and encourage putting "pigs in a blanket" it became a hate group no better than the KKK back in the 1950's.
If they want to promote real change they need to become better organized, distance/disavow those who are not peaceful and have a standardized agenda that people can embrace.
Showing up and being disruptive/intimidating and shooting cops is only going to cause a deadly race war eventually.
The cause is still good, the methods aren't. Come on ya'll, I think this board is smart, ya'll have to get the difference between the two?

Not condoning any violence and truly believe All Lives Matter. Im saddened by ALL the events of this week. With that said, the above is a nominee for the dumbest post I've read all week.
What is the cause?
If it is to promote social equality, then yes, it is a good cause. If it is to denounce police brutality towards blacks, then yes, it is a good cause.
If it is simply a movement to stir up racial tensions, kill cops randomly, use intimidation/violence to disrupt events, etc. then it is not a good cause.
BLM may not openly support violence and people acting like idiots but they sure don't discourage it.
Without even knowing it you just offended every BLM advocate and would be branded as ignorant and insensitive.
You would also more than likely get beaten if you were at a BLM rally and held up a sign that read "All Lives Matter".
Not really. Both are hate/domestic terror groups at their core with members who use violence to scare/intimidate people who oppose them. When members of a group encourage people to kill whitey and cops that is the definition of a hate group.
BLM didn't start out as a terrorist group but sadly it has become one and things will only get worse. When you incite racial tension and radicalize young people violence will only increase.
I HONESTLY HOPE YOU SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE CALF PRACTICING YOUR WALKER TEXAS RANGER MOVES IN THE MIRROR. "YOU GONNA NEED IT". WHAT A PU$$Y.
OK, you got him on the lynching part, but the rest of what you described fits BLM just as well as it would the KKK.
BLM...but only when it's black vs white. When black people commit violence against other black people, ehhh, who cares. Racism? Check!
BLM...we need a safe space where we can do, uh, we don't even know, but the point is, if you're white, you're not allowed. Segregation? Check!
Yeah, cause they lynch ppl, hang them,and burn crosses in their yards....for sure the equivalent. I LOL bc you did not pay close attention at all to the history of the civil rights movement.....well, maybe the Mississippi "Whitewashed" version....too funny!
If you studied the history of the KKK and their resurgence in the 1920's you could easily see that BLM is headed down the same path. They have supporters who have killed cops, incited riots, stirred up racial tensions, used violence/intimidation to disrupt rallies and many who take satisfaction when another cop is a "pig in the blanket." Make no mistake...there is a faction within this movement that will lynch, hang and kill people who oppose them.
There was a time when the KKK was considered legitimate and had 4 million members because they championed causes deemed good and righteous. Once people realized that at its core it was a hate group membership numbers plummeted but it spawned a lot of hate groups who continued to use "white power" as a rallying cry.
