    I'll try to have you "video policeman/women" or as seinfeld would say "video nazi's", let me know before I post a "dumb" video" next time.

    What more can BLM get that they haven’t gotten ? They got billions of dollars as well as hostage videos from every prominent CEO. And Americans now believe, based on TV commercials, that 49% of Americans are black and that 20% of marriages are mixed.

    Libs needs to start acting as if they've never heard of BLM or Antifa the same way righties act like they've never heard of QAnon or Proud Boys.

    I think both sides need to start acting like these fringe morons don’t exsist
    and don’t matter. Quit giving them airtime and legitimacy. Wont happen. It’s too easy to rile up the base for whatever reason by throwing the opponents morons out there and acting like they are the stereotype.

    Look. I had some issues with BLMs view on the nuclear family myself, but this constant attempt to find one whacky person to label entire groups should serve as a reminder that Aaron Hernandez once had his own brick outside of BHG.

    Stop doing this. Everyone. Stop.

    I completely agree Tilly, unless that person is the founder/ leader/spokesperson for the group. Then I think it’s fair game. If it’s just some random one off individual…. That is just ridiculous.

    There is a term for this.

    There can be challenges in application. But it reflects a general principle, and it's a clever play on words, just like dog whistle politics and AstroTurf organizing

    I agree with the BLM movement, so I'm not concerned about acknowledging its existence.

    Sorry, I replied to the wrong post and didn't catch it.
    I guess it was an example of a "dumb" post-----

    Not you, either. The serial Homer Simpson avatar poster. Guy picks the dumbest character imaginable for an avatar and half his posts are calling conservative posts dumb.

    Is this you as a poster ranting, or is this you as a moderator exerting excessive authority? I'm beginning to think you've gone over to the dark side. Every post you make in here lately seems to be meant to court favor with all the lefties in here.

    Or it could just be that some of us on this board are somewhat moderate in our takes. Tilly is one of them. He tends to lean right but also is willing to consider and give consideration to the other side.. the left.
    Like me I imagine he is tired of the tribalism… I’m right you are evil… that seems to be the norm these days.

    Just one of many regular examples, most never reported and covered up, while the Black Lives Matter movement is so necessary and why the black lives shouldn’t matter backlash, far more powerful, should be disregarded.

    All too typical. And authorities all the way through the State AG helped to ensure Breonna Taylor died in vain.


    Former Louisville officer Kelly Goodlett admitted in federal court that she and another officer falsified information in the warrant. That confirmed to many, including U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, that Taylor never should have been visited by armed officers on March 13, 2020.

    Protest leaders who took to the streets of Kentucky’s largest city after she was fatally shot by police say Goodlett’s confession confirms their suspicions that Louisville police can’t be trusted and that systemic issues run deep. They say officers abused demonstrators after the botched raid, and that her fatal shooting is just one of many reasons why the community remains wary.

    “What bothers me so incredibly, is that so many lives were lost because of this lie,” said Hannah Drake, a Louisville poet and leader in a push for justice after Taylor’s death. “They don’t even understand the far-reaching tentacles of what they did.”
