Weren't you just defending LGBT rights on a different thread? I wonder why you can't imagine there being other groups that are similarly targeted because of who they are.

Or let's put it this way, maybe clearer: let's say police forces in here were constantly targeting LGBT people for harassment and were killing them without consequences. Someone started a #LGBTLivesMatter. Would you come here and say "no, #AllLivesMatter ! " ??

To keep the discussion going, here is an article voicing an opinion that is contrary to many of those being voiced in this thread http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/12/1449360/-For-White-America-Black-Protesters-Never-Do-it-Right

Calling someone simple minded and up on a pedestal usually does not help win arguments. This is something I would expect a lawyer to know.

^You're right. I was just getting frustrated. I'm sorry RayRo for the "simple minded" part.
everything I have said about Triceratopol or something stays though

But BLM does not care about black on black crime AT ALL. This is a huge assumption… While it may be true for a select few, I’m sure it’s not the case for most.
Shouldn't that be there main focus? They are trying to shine a light on the subject of discrimination that to this day still plagues the country. Black on black crime is also a problem like many other problems that should addressed. However, you don’t want to diffuse the light of any issue that you’re trying to illuminate.
Or am I not allowed to talk about that? It makes me racist, right? redirecting and diffusing the spotlight on the issue in question doesn't help.
What about black on black crime, what about reverse discrimination, what about…? |

So I'll ask in a way as polite as possible and without a derisive tone. Does "black on black" crime exist? If so, then is it a problem that should be addressed? Does "cops killing blacks" (BLM) really exist? If so, it is a problem that should be addressed?

I gave Andy Webb my word, in two correspondences, that I would not use Legal English or sublanguage or make any "legalistic" sounding threats to PA members in these discussions. I believe that I've kept my word. A good weekend to all.

Who? On a related note, I read the Black Lives Matter site and, even if they did want freedom and equality, they're doing a poor job at trying to get it.

I just read the entire thread and now feel very nostalgic for a good Yes v. Genesis argument.

And you didn't read the racist comment I received which made me also write a very awful response. Those two have been deleted.

I wanted to echo too that institutional racism is not just about stats on how many victims there are. Everyone of the affected minority is a victim emotionally. It's the same principle as terrorism. The success is not measured by the number of victims but by the fear it creates. Edited by HackettFan - November 13 2015 at 20:35 |
