- SixSigma 10y agoThat cops are racist and killing blacks because they are black.
- splawn 10y agoThat doesn't sound the like opposite position of BLM to me. That sounds more like a simplistic caricature of BLM's central premise. Did you misunderstand my question? (or I might be simply confused on some other level... wouldn't be the first time, lol)
- SixSigma 10y agoYeah, I forgot the other part of the platform https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqQXmnMr_w8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqQXmnMr_w8
- sfrailsdev 10y agoI think (and I'm not an expert on conservative thoughts on BLM, and to be clear, I don't believe this at all myself) it's that there is no racial disparity in police shootings, whites get killed just as often as blacks, Blacks are just more criminal (not of course, because they are black or systemic racism leading to less legitimate opportunities, but because of internal issues within black culture and community like unwed mothers), and that white liberals and outside agitators stoke the fires of racial hatred against whites rather then addressing the issues with black people in order to advance their own political agenda.
