I agree all lives matter; but I don't see a problem with people standing up and trying to protect themselves either.

I just don't get the double standard. You fight for equal rights, only to then go on to black entertainment, black this, black that, black pride, black power. When can we be Americans? What if a white person had a WET, had a white this, a white that, and white power, white pride?

At what point do we overcome being held responsible for something we had nothing to do with. Racism will always be around.. but I don't believe it exist like many try to claim. We have evolved so much.

I just find the whole black movement as segregating and not productive. It seems like it just causes more people to then have a bias against anyone who isn't black. That's great you are proud of who you are.. I am just sick of the double standard and I don't believe these movements are uniting our diversity..

What is so wrong about all lives matter. End racism. Why not say these things. Tired of ESPN saying we need to have a discussion on lack of black quarterbacks in the NFL. I assure you, if you are good enough to play the QB position in the NFL then you will be exactly that.. yet there's lack of white players at other positions.. do we really care no?

I am so sick of this black vs white shite. What about other races? They sure never get much recognition around here.. but don't really see them complaining It literally only further divides us. We can't move forward with this attitude. I agree with Dash and even Morgan Freeman.

I mean sure, you could view it that way. Another way of looking at it, he went against popular opinion among his peers when most in his situation don't. That's respectable if you agree with him or not.

It's hard to take this BS BLM thing seriously when blacks continue to kill each other at an alarming rate, but yet blame everything on "the man" or whitey. But, whatever, there are probably a few drive by shootings going on now that some racist cop is tending too at the moment.

Have an upvote....

I've been saying this for the longest on this board. Everyday there are multiple black vs. white race threads on here and nobody ever talks about other races.

There are people who still despise Michael Vick, even after he turned his life around.


frick Vick and for the rest of my life if I had a chance to torture and then kill him with no repercussions I would do it in a second. Besides making dogs fight to the death he also beat them to death, hung them, electrocuted them to death etc. He only stopped because society made him and he still, and always will, deserve to be treated exactly like he treated those dogs.

There was this poll on a conservative website that said 69% of black people disagree with BLM.

I wouldn't doubt it, especially here in the south. It's too bad the news never portrays this side of things. They'd rather keep controversy drummed up.

Yes they are. Your angle is shitty and predictable. Not nearly as clever as you think, either. The point was that BLM is racial from jump street. If the movement was as just as they say it would be called... you guessed it, All Lives Matter. But since it singles out only the Black race, it is indeed a racially motivated organization. Which contradicts the posters statement of "ones rights" vs Blacks right's. You pro blm guys don't have a leg to stand on.

Why does ANY group need a movement these days when everyone, other than the gays, has had equal rights for decades? Of course certain groups are going to get annoyed when other groups with the EXACT same right and opportunities are constantly whining, complaining, throwing fits and commiting criminal acts for literally no reason.

In terms of saying "Black Lives Matter" why wouldn't that group say that if they felt like the black lives were the ones being negatively effected.

When the whales are dying they say "Save the Whales!" not "All marine life is important!"

When something bad happens in Uganda they may say "Justice for Uganda"

I don't think the organizers of the movement were against other lives mattering; but they were specifically approaching the subject at hand.

I don't know the originators of the "Black Lives Matter" campaign or anything so I'm just speculating. Nor am I naive enough to believe everyone feels that way and some BLMers are racially motivated and charged against other races.

Better than people like you as well. Doesn't change the fact they're just dogs. So... get over it.

I can gaurantee you he's way smarter than her. I've known him for several years and he really is extremely intelligent. He's also masterful in his marketing.
