Quote:Let me ask you something...how often have you heard about BLM members doing something good for blacks or society in general? Would the media report on a food drive, donation event, community empowerment event, youth outreach, events with local churches? Would it even be newsworthy? If you are not black, or don't keep up with black issues or BLM you probably wouldn't hear about the things I just outlined. 

The media isn't interested in showing good deeds, they're interested in controversy because sadly that it what passes for news these days. Like mentioned below, where is all the social media on all the good news related to BLM and on a larger scale. The grand scale is needed in something like this because again the message gets lost with all the radicals showing their stupidity and the media giving them front page, above the fold coverage. 

 

Quote:That is a very good point. Where are these good things happening? If there are good things happening then why aren't those members in leadership positions getting the information out instead of making themselves and the "movement" look ignorant and dumpster worthy? You would think with how fast news travels on social media there would be a glimpse of something positive. Something on a grand scale, not just cousin Terrance, who says he is affiliated with BLM, giving away a few ice creams. Scholarships, housing projects, community center building, community outreach, etc. Seems to be some reason BLM hasn't been connected to a legitimate civic leader or a vocal part of local government.
