Quote:See, where we seem to differ is in that fact that you perceive a response to a difference of opinion as inflammatory. That's ok. You do you.


In general terms, was it not the goal of the BLM to encourage the betterment of the black community by addressing issues of inequality, racism, social injustice, etc, real or perceived? My argument is that it has morphed beyond original intent into something more indirect. More on the scope of organizing protest and demonstrations, sometimes pretty aggressively.


It is a typical redirect and flippant response that has been seen here over and over when approached with a direct inquiry. If you are posting in defense of, you have the burden of proof. I can very well go get the answers or in fact, already known, but that defeats the intent of making yours or anyone else's voice heard. The original issue was the positives are not highlighted in open forum. Why? Why isn't the news reporting these things? Newspapers? Heck, even social media to include those directly in association with BLM. Why is it so hard for folks to come up with the positives and throw them out there for all to see? Why such a big secret?


Spare the pity party. You and others have been given the opportunity on this forum to have a voice and to share the positives with those that may not understand. Yet, you and others choose to be defensive and not grasp the opportunity to share. Speak to teach, not just because you have to say something.

I see we're skipping over the evil comment. It's expected.


"I agreed with the original premise of the Black Lives Matter movement..." I'm asking where did you come upon the "original premise?" Where did you come across this info?


JFC did share and your response to him was flippant, the same with Solid. We're defensive because we don't trust YOUR motives, not because there's something to hide. I wouldn't even characterize it as being defensive. You said you open to dialogue, here it is. Like I said earlier, being patronizing only means you don't take us seriously. Doesn't matter the amount of degrees, doesn't matter the amount of community service. Otherwise, your responses would have been," Great, let's exchange contact info. I'd like to hear more and see if I can be apart of it." It certainly wouldn't be accusing someone of wanting to have a pissing contest for offering info you asked for to begin with.


Speak to teach...there you go again talking down
