Yeah, well sometimes when you have a coach like O, who is a good man, who loves his players like sons, it’s hard for those players to not be critical of his choice to be dismissive of something so big that they feel as a reality. I think they’re just putting pressure on O to step up.

BLM isn’t some “agenda.” It’s a statement concerning how blacks are treated by the institution of government and portrayed in the media (ahem...Fox News). And black people are tired of it and are making a stand. And then you have O probably trying to downplay it to the team and it feels hypocritical to hear that from someone who “loves them.”

I look forward to seeing your fascists sputterings.

Why does O need to support an organization with ambiguous ideals? I’m sure O would outwardly be against police brutality. Why does he, or anyone, need to agree with every single thought and opinion of an organization with both good and bad ideas. It has the flavor of an oppressive religion.

Fascist sputterings huh? How the hell do you know what O has told his players behind closed doors regarding racial inequality? His job is to win football games, not become a lightning rod for social causes. It’s obvious he loves his players and treats them like they’re his own. To degrade O because he’s white, has been supportive of trump, and hasn’t publicly condemned the police is so played out. For his players to bite a hand that has helped feed them and make him into something he’s not over this movement is BS.

BLM is a neo-Marxist movement using blacks as useful idiots.

Not a single one of the LSU players know what real oppression is. There are quite a few countries around the world they could visit to see it in action however.

To those who say it is about black profiling, police brutality, etc. may I suggest that those who feel marginalized put aside the victim ideology and focus on getting their own house in order. Blacks are their own worst enemies.

99.9% of white people could care less about the color of soneone’s skin. Black culture and victim ideology is why blacks remain behind other minoritiees like the Asian culture for example. Asians by and large don’t whine and bitch about the white man, they just live the values of their culture and it is a culture that has actually surpassed white culture in some aspects.

I’m just sick of all the BS.

Where were all of these protests and stand ins when one of their own was killed Wayde Sims? Nowhere.

Jacob Blake was a convicted criminal wanted for sexual assault. Did you read up on the warrant for his arrest?

He is certainly not the hill to die on.

It's so tiring that blacks largely avoid discussing or even acknowledging the black on black homicides that occur at a 20x tines more clip than police killings.

Not really. It’s a phrase. You said it yourself, BLM it has loose ideals. It’s because it’s not an organization. It’s a phrase that was made from people watching the unfair treatment blacks get from cops and the overwhelming data that black people are unfairly treated by cops and the justice system. It’s that simple. As this type of stuff keeps happening (I.e. Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake) people have taken to the streets under the uniting phrase because protest is the one thing we have as citizens to voice pit pressure on The government. It’s that simple. If it was an organization, who’s the president? Where’s the central office?

Also, I’m not sure what O has said behind closed doors. I’m just throwing possibilities out there. I’m receiving all my information about this from These forums ( which is a bad idea, I know) which is full of overblown reactions to little tidbits, kind of like how people say that Kardell Thomas is a racist, etc, which is what I find fascists about this forum. You take Kardell liking a tweet and run with it until Kardell is a despicable human, racist, commie, BLM cuck.

No one knows what O has said to the team. We don’t know what the individuals who are critiquing O believe ( and it’s probably not one thing anyway). We just don’t know, but it’s healthy to throw other rhetoric out there.

I think the team loves O, and I think that leaves O open to critique because he rules like he’s in a family, not a dictatorship.

I think the problem is with our current culture. Everything gets politicized and and taken to extremes. I agree with much of what BLM stands for and it is unfortunate that some of its more righteous ideals have been hijacked by Antifa types. I’d rather stand for or againSt very specific ideas and measures.

For instance, I do not agree that blacks are killed by police anymore than other ethnicities when all variables are accounted for. On the other hand, there are some studies that show that blacks are pulled over at a higher rate in the day time than during the nighttime. This would support the idea of racial profiling in traffic stops.

The problem arises when we start creating race based interventions and ideologies. Why do we not work on stopping police brutality in general? If blacks are over represented in these cases then the intervention will disproportionately help blacks. Same idea could be said for poverty, education, and healthcare reform. If blacks are over represented in any of those categories then interventions aimed helping those who are suffering will also disproportionately be helped. The problem isn’t that people aren’t willing to help with these issues. It’s that many people see how foolish it is to divide up human suffering according to physical characteristics before helping. Life is tragic enough for everyone and we are all trying to figure it out.

Because he was not killed by a policeman. Those who have sworn an oath to protect and serve. Their tactics, training, and procedures are woefully lacking. It's OK to hold them accountable.

With that said it does provide black on black, white on white, or ANY violent crime a free pass. Nor does it excuse blatant, destructive, violent protest. Collectively, we can do better.

I think the problem is y’all are talking about this shite on a Recruiting board. If you wanna go discuss how oppressed black people like to think they are go to the political board

Bigger question, if the quoted part is true, which it is not, where does all the money that is donated to the "movement" go? Who's getting shares of it? Where and how is it being put to use? Sure is a whole lot of millions being thrown away to this group that has no organization. Maybe a call needs to be made to the IRS to figure out who's shilling all those hundreds of millions of dollars.
Since I know you can't answer, and really no average citizen can honestly, it makes a whole lot of sense why many think it's all a staged attempt by liberals to influence the election they can't win on political merit. In short, all these millions are likely being funnelled to the Democratic party and their fight to win elections. That or the alternative, which is , all that money is being used to pay for all the "protestors" and materials being dropped off in cities around the country to cause chaos and destruction. Which then in turn makes BLM essentially a terrorist organization. For a group with no organization there sure seems to be a lot of organizing going on.

How many OTHER minority cultures were oppressed as slaves for over 400 years? Why didn't the Asian culture have to fight for the right to vote? Where were Asians NOT ALLOWED to sit and eat in a public place. When did Asians have to sit in the back of the bus. I must have missed those lessons in the Great American history books.

You see, you are part of the problem, the so called education system in America what you grew to love is not about Education, it is about Indoctrination of White Supremacy. Ever wonder why, in the history books there are ZERO mention of contributions made by Black people in America. You think that omission is by accident?

Man, youre still a slave, and whats worse is you dont even know it. The Democratic party has enslaved your mind, and made enemies out of the shadows. BLM is a radical group that nonracist whites cannot support. Its marxist and has an agenda.

You need to realize that many of us dont have a racist bone in our body and stand with our black brothers, but we cannot support brainwashing Marxism that teaches you all whites are bad unless the bend the knee.

The irony of how BLM is attacking whites that dont bend the knee is the very definition of unequal treatment and further divides the country keeping people separate instead of in harmony together.
