I agree with you. Nt metroins Jul 2016 #9
I don't recall white people being lynched.. HipChick Jul 2016 #10
Thanks for helping me make my point: BLM exists because of the past Albertoo Jul 2016 #12
Tell that to the generations that have been dehumanized.. HipChick Jul 2016 #15
And? Generalising grudges over the past makes a worse world, not a better one. Albertoo Jul 2016 #17
grudges over the past? KMOD Jul 2016 #19
Aristotle wrote "who loves in excess can hate in excess" Albertoo Jul 2016 #22
You honestly find it excessive? KMOD Jul 2016 #31
That is not what I wrote Albertoo Jul 2016 #51
So you deny that racial injustice continues to be an issue? KMOD Jul 2016 #63
No, I did not say that either Albertoo Jul 2016 #67
"The statement that Black lives are systematically willfully dehumanized is excessive" kwassa Jul 2016 #38
OK I'll take your challenge: educate me on the statement I made Albertoo Jul 2016 #43
Institutional racism is willful, and systematic. kwassa Jul 2016 #80
Oh really? ismnotwasm Jul 2016 #44
Slavery is now a Generalized grudge? HipChick Jul 2016 #33
A useful solution to solving the problems affecting black lives, KMOD Jul 2016 #16
I agree with some of your points, but you still do not solve the BLM conundrum Albertoo Jul 2016 #21
When black men are killed by police KMOD Jul 2016 #26
Or holding a puppy! (14-year-old choked but thankfully not killed) gollygee Jul 2016 #32
To talk about systemic racism, nothing can be more clear than NYC's "broken window" policy. rusty quoin Jul 2016 #36
Progress will be made when people on both sides can Igel Jul 2016 #76
Couldn't Agree More RobinA Jul 2016 #120
The past? You mean all of a few years ago? Rex Jul 2016 #18
BLM is not the best advocate for racial equality IMHO Albertoo Jul 2016 #25
No they don't. KMOD Jul 2016 #28
Excessive claims were made about Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown Albertoo Jul 2016 #35
What? rusty quoin Jul 2016 #42
Whoo said 'nothing'? Albertoo Jul 2016 #64
Yeah. Brown charged a police car? rusty quoin Jul 2016 #86
Misrepresenting what I say isn't proper discussion. Where do I support Zimmerman? Albertoo Jul 2016 #89
You sound like a bigoted right wing troll. Tread lightly. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #113
I suppose anyone who doesn't absolutely share your views sounds like a RW troll? Albertoo Jul 2016 #115
Here.... Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #132
Excessive claims? KMOD Jul 2016 #48
In neither case was a racial animus the most likely cause of the death Albertoo Jul 2016 #58
Once again, KMOD Jul 2016 #62
I Would Disagree RobinA Jul 2016 #121
The police are ill-equipped in dealing with KMOD Jul 2016 #130
If you think Treyvon Martin's execution had nothing to do with race giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #56
+100 nt gollygee Jul 2016 #57
So you think Latinos hate Blacks, is that it? Albertoo Jul 2016 #61
Do you think Latinos can't have prejudice? KMOD Jul 2016 #66
But was it the key motivation of Zimmerman? I do not think so. Albertoo Jul 2016 #70
Zimmerman shot an unarmed kid walking home from the store. Rex Jul 2016 #75
Yes. Now show me racism was central to the case. Albertoo Jul 2016 #78
Here ya go, now what? Rex Jul 2016 #83
He stalked Trayvon KMOD Jul 2016 #79
I detailed the case as I see it in post #70 Albertoo Jul 2016 #82
Martin made gang signs? You just keep making that stuff up. Rex Jul 2016 #85
Yes, we have evidence T Martin sometimes did gang signs Albertoo Jul 2016 #91
Yeah that is what I thought. Rex Jul 2016 #92
I stick to facts Albertoo Jul 2016 #94
Facts? I haven't seen you bring up one fact yet. Just letting everyone know you got caught. Rex Jul 2016 #95
Caught? You're dreaming :) Albertoo Jul 2016 #99
Nice strawman you built there, nobody ever said what you are claiming. Rex Jul 2016 #101
So does my 6-year-old daughter gollygee Jul 2016 #93
And? All I said was that we do not **know** how Zimmerman picked his 'suspects' Albertoo Jul 2016 #96
LOL gollygee Jul 2016 #98
Look, for argument sake, let's say Zimmerman was a racist Albertoo Jul 2016 #102
Zimmerman isn't the only person involved gollygee Jul 2016 #125
I think Zimmerman was a mild loon and that his case did not reflect on anything much Albertoo Jul 2016 #127
He found a black teen, suspective. KMOD Jul 2016 #97
We can agree on the fact was a weirdo, but YOU might have been a suspect Albertoo Jul 2016 #103
OK, this is just silly at this point. KMOD Jul 2016 #105
I know what is obvious. rusty quoin Jul 2016 #107
It was horrible. KMOD Jul 2016 #111
Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas Albertoo Jul 2016 #109
His history is history enough. Someone said you are obtuse. I agree. rusty quoin Jul 2016 #112
I'm like Forrest Gump, "Obtuse is as obtuse does" Albertoo Jul 2016 #116
As a Latina I am well aware that some Latinos despise blacks. giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #119
Wow. Just wow. Albertoo Jul 2016 #126
You are flat out wrong. Rex Jul 2016 #72
We differ on two issues. I'm not sure who's wrong. Albertoo Jul 2016 #74
This is also false on it face, you been listening to faux new too long... they've been saying simila uponit7771 Jul 2016 #124
I never listen to Fox News Albertoo Jul 2016 #128
No. It isn't just the past. Lynching is a problem today, too. Did you read about the racist Kansas tblue37 Jul 2016 #24
While this is true, it was not my point Albertoo Jul 2016 #30
"Some racism rampant against some in the population?" gollygee Jul 2016 #37
It's the result of the World Attitudes Survey Albertoo Jul 2016 #40
That is a very superficial way to look at racism gollygee Jul 2016 #41
You make two interesting points Albertoo Jul 2016 #47
You should probably do some googling on this issue gollygee Jul 2016 #50
I know these facts, but they do not prove the sentence Albertoo Jul 2016 #52
You need to read about the history of our criminal justice system gollygee Jul 2016 #55
OK, I understand. We differ on just words. Albertoo Jul 2016 #59
I think you need to take a look in the mirror, but I don't expect it. rusty quoin Jul 2016 #108
+1000 Starry Messenger Jul 2016 #114
I suppose we all do have difficulties leaving our comfort zones :) Albertoo Jul 2016 #118
BLM exists because of the present, not the past. kwassa Jul 2016 #39
I understand that Albertoo Jul 2016 #73
so, police are brutal just because they are brutal? kwassa Jul 2016 #81
so, police are brutal just because they are racist? Albertoo Jul 2016 #87
That one can find examples of white victims of police brutality is unsurprising, and does nothing to fishwax Jul 2016 #110
I agree with your sentence Albertoo Jul 2016 #117
This is false on its face uponit7771 Jul 2016 #123
I think not, but I'm tired of trying to defend a moderate view on this issue Albertoo Jul 2016 #129
Lots of white people were lynched Nevernose Jul 2016 #13
They were a minority of those lynched in the south. Igel Jul 2016 #69
I don't recall hearing BLM activists saying anything Cracklin Charlie Jul 2016 #104

Well, my point was a bit more general, but OK Albertoo Jul 2016 #11
Sorry--there is no way to post fast enough to get there before someone arrives tblue37 Jul 2016 #27
There's a huge problem with it ismnotwasm Jul 2016 #7
the problem, from my point of view, with "all lives matter" is unblock Jul 2016 #23
The worst part is, they don't even believe it themselves. GoCubsGo Jul 2016 #54
A recent meme by conservatives is "Blue Lives Matter" but when shown keithbvadu2 Jul 2016 #29
"Blue" lives do not exist? RussBLib Jul 2016 #46
"Blue lives" do exist, even if keithbvadu2 Jul 2016 #53
well, it wasn't me making the claim, but RussBLib Jul 2016 #65
What is the BLM position? kentuck Jul 2016 #34
I guess ALMETPSBLMITC was too long. rusty quoin Jul 2016 #49
I would agree with you on that... kentuck Jul 2016 #60
Perhaps black people should not be targeted for traffic stops because they are black. rusty quoin Jul 2016 #77
At this point, I've come to the conclusion that TDale313 Jul 2016 #45
Does society have to approve what we think or feel? kentuck Jul 2016 #68
When I say our society is not behaving as if Black Lives Matter TDale313 Jul 2016 #90
I agree that some are indeed doing that. KMOD Jul 2016 #71
