And, as long as Washington’s mayor doesn’t paint the name of an organization that is Marxist with racist and violent overtones on a public street , I guess you’re right.
I’ve never said there is no racism, only that there isn’t a lot of it. I stand by that statement.
The Washington mayor allowed the name of the organization, Black Lives Matter to be painted on the street near the White House.
BLM is a saying more than an organization. Folks sometimes forget that. Why use code words like ‘marxist’ and ‘violence’? People are protesting police brutality. If you can’t join the protests don’tt ry to sidetrack them with inaccurate allegations.
The Trump administration has literally enforced white supremacist orders by separating immigrant families. The order was stewarded by Trump appointee Stephen Miller, who literally asked Breitbart to run white nationalist propaganda.
No, it isn’t. It is an organization, but you point out the deception here. By conflating the saying with the organization, it deflects from what the organization stands for.
Code words? What kind of nonsense is that?
As well they should. I am 100% in favor of denouncing the brutality of government agents against Americans. Apparently, big city mayors for whom the police work don’t share that view.
More deception. Protests don’t include violence. If you can’t stand against the violence, please dont sidetrack legitimate protests By conflating the two.
Only a small few would publicly deny this. Far more behave in a way that produces the end result.
The strategy of linking black protestors to radicalism is literally 100 years old. People were doing it back in the Red Summer of 1919. Nina Simone literally sang about it 60 years ago:
Yeah, I’m in a stand-your-ground state. Here is what the law says on it.
Being rich should be illegal.
I haven’t heard if you have condemned Biden’s racist comments. Let me know when you do.
So their violence and racism is okay with you.
Regardless of what follows , would it be okay for a group of whites to say, “ We are unapologetically white in our positioning.”
And that’s why VP Pence wouldn’t say the name of the organization. Good for him.
Who, specifically.
And of course, I didn’t do that I’ve been very clear to not link protesters to violent rioters. I was also specific about a particular group, instead of a vague “far more behave in a way…”
Who are you to say that? Is the mayor of Washington, DC a member? Your statement is highly inaccurate and paternalistic.Nepperhan:
No, it isn’t. It is an organization
There is a website. To deny it being an organization is absurd.
Oh, the idea of holding progressives to the same standard as conservatives is a tired technique? That’s funny as it is only recently being employed.
Won’t even answer the questions.
This is such a tired technique. It is entirely false and despicable.
Progressives are the experts at using dog whistles, but I think you may be right about institutional racism in America. Who runs virtually all of the institutions? Higher education? Major cities and their police forces? State and federal bureaucracies? K-12 departments of education? The main stream media? Yep. Progressives.
You already did. I responded.
All 14 of them.
And it exists where it always has, from slavery to Jim Crow to intersectionality to identity politics. Progressives and Democrats. Not all, to be sure, but definitely the leadership.
Not from the POV of socialists, be they communists or fascists. The history of both is that violence is an acceptable solution to the perceived problem.
Every progressives run institution. You yourself said it was institutional, as I recall.
Thanks for not denying it.
