no he has no valid point ill tell you why.

what is kaga trying to accomplish here? He only shares links of random acts of violence when it involves a BLM related title.

He has no interest in stopping random acts of violence, or isnt even appalled by random acts of violence.

his only goal is to insinuate that the BLM movement is a movement of violent criminals only, that there is no positive message that happens to be supported occasionally (and not unlike ANYTHING else in the universe) by people that you may or may not agree with or may or may not be violent or may or may not be criminals.

Its like putting, 'man who likes mcdonalds attacks random lady at bus stop' with the intent of attacking mcdonalds, not the person committing the crime.

If you really had a problem with the crime, you would have only posted bout the crime. Not tried to use it as an excuse to say something totally unrelated to the crime itself.

But they mentioned the BLM before the attack. The guy was just minding his own business. This is a hateful attack, based on race alone, because the guy has a different pigmentation than them. But of course not just that, but ideology, racism as it's called. They were "racists", how can this fact be traversed around? Just post a meme, K? IRYD?

Racist for pointing out racism. k... :/
And yeah, I'd say BLM is no different than the KKK, both are wrong. It's just the KKK is content to just rather think and speak now, while the BLM is out there terrorizing Amaricans with violence.

See this is where you and FP could have really gotten into things, almost like two sides of the same coin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I'm saying "almost", rather than saying it directly, leaving a level of latitude to not be apparently so, either of you.

You mean like holding up an abortion clinic shooter as a model of conservatism?

Or labeling all republicans as hateful?

I see your point, but the problem with BLM is that this sort of thing seems to be a regular occurrence. No other group in recent American history has engaged in the mass organized violence as this one.

You could be right. Maybe it is just a few bad apples. BLM leaders need speak up though and set themselves apart not tweet shit like "fuck Paris" after 130 of their countrymen were slain by madmen.

The other problem with shouting "black lives matter" is that black youth might start to think they don't and then you end up with more situations like this where you have confused fearful kids lashing out angrily, further tarnishing the organization/cause.

Everybody already agrees that black lives matter; no less and no more than any other life.

Stating facts about a group is speaking up for them now huh.

Westboro Baptist Church has killed a total of zero homosexuals.

I must be sticking up for them too. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The black lives matter movement, the mainstream media, the Democratic party, college campuses/administration to name a few.

Please examine the context of your earlier comment before authoring another severely stupid post, Kagatob.
