In reply to the discussion: So I guess we got the meme [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)I have been doing so for almost an hour.
Like clockwork, it is Monday morning 930 east coast time, and the meme is out in force.
And what truly galls me is that it harms us minorities more than it helps us. It is cheapening the BlackLivesMatter movement by linking it with a divisive political ploy.
I have said over and over that I want to see the next step. I want protests at all Town Halls. I want protests with every candidate, Democratic or Republican. I want protests at both conventions. And I want leaders of the BLM to sit down with each candidate individually to air grievances, discuss goals, and to hammer out policy positions that support the truth of the importance of black lives.
I have gotten nothing rational or substantive in reply. No one seems to want to discuss the reality of a movement for real change.
It makes you wonder doesn't it?
