posted by jmogI have even on this thread, maybe you missed it.
The throught/principle of the saying black lives matter is not wrong. The organization is completely corrupt and many of the protests are being hijacked by the likes of antifa, which is a terrorist organization.
That's the problem.
Got ya
posted by geeblockAgain I think the people who will stop caring already didn’t care or were looking for reasons not to care. I can’t think of a bigger movement. Can you name one?
1. Revolutionaries in 1776.
2. Abolitionists pre-civil war.
3. Suffragists for the right for women to vote.
4. Civil Rights of the 1950s/1960s.
There's 4 right off the top of my head.

I live in Chicago, and can confirm there are BLM protests all day every day. And there are also protests for gang violence in the city. People just don’t hear about it because it doesn’t make the news.
Occupy Wallstreet didn’t accomplish much

I would say these all involve more people
It’s also world
Wide.
Yeah, that is a narrow point of view of world history. Sure this is a big movement, but come on, there has been larger ones in U.S. and world history. World history, I'd say the fall of communism in 1989-1992 was a larger movement in additional to the examples already cited. Or, even bigger, the rise of democracies during the 20th century.
Sorry I struggle to get a link to post. This was what I was reading that led to my comment. Obviously no way to ever know

Boy thats some fuzzy math. Not all people "protesting" were or are members to BLM. Just because someone shows up to hang out in a city like we saw doesnt mean they are BLM.

We all know it is sBLM.
Selective Black Lives Matter.
Lol Bill Deblasio helping paint BLM in front of Trump Tower with Al Sharpton is quite the look. Fucking idiot.
Also NYC, “ Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, who was twice the city’s top cop, said that at its current rate the city has lost about 20 years of progress in battling crime, and risks returning to a time when the five boroughs were not nearly as safe”

Lol you are not good at this. Minneapolis, AOC, other liberal dipshits, and oh wait, BLM itself. You have no idea what the actual organization you support stands for.
