oh wow, ahead of him. did she at least honor him at all?
unlike leftist msm and daily black on white murder, blm child murder, cops being murdered, you know, being totally ignored and criminal george floyd being made a national icon/hero?

you mean like that stuff?

What one side does wrong does not make the other side right. You know that. I stand firmly by what I said about the rioters and Melania, but here goes. I am going to talk about BLM, because as most of you deny, most Biden voters don’t really feel that comfortable with BLM.

The problem with BLM is that it focuses on one thing and one thing only: law enforcement and there are a million other things that need focusing on. In focusing on that one thing, it throws the entire law enforcement community under the bus (or at least that is their perception, and perception is reality in my view). We need law enforcement badly. Only idiots would deny that, and the underclass Black community absolutely needs it most (not meaning to include more prosperous middle class Black communities, although my guess is that they need law enforcement pretty badly too.)

Here’s what I said to a Black friend of mine.

Yes, many Police Departments need reform and bad apples needed to be weeded out. But we need to constantly remind ourselves how a healthy society needs law enforcement and needs to SUPPORT our law enforcement officers.

I would have way less objection to BLM if it
did not ONLY focus on law enforcement. That ONLY part is what makes law enforcement officers feel totally disrespected, when there are so many other things to focus on too.

What if there were an umbrella organization BLM with a number of subdivisions including:
Black Lives Matter in Policing: focused on Police Department Reform and Community Policing
Black Lives Matter in Entrepreneurshp: focused on keeping money within the Black community
Black Lives Matter in Black on Black Crime (the elephant in the room. This is exactly why law enforcement is so desperately needed in these communities)
Black Lives Matter in Unemployment: focused on job fairs, interviewing, tax strategies for bringing employers into the community.

Those are the views of a Centrist. But on Twitter (and this Board), you would never know that there were any Centrists in America. I cannot tell you the exact mix of “progressives” versus “moderates” within the Democratic Party, but all I can say is there are LOTS of people I know who feel like I do.

[WeightPSHR]

There are no problems with police, homelessness or debt when democrats are in charge.

How do you explain San Francisco, Chicago and LA then?

[residue]

Do we have to wait until 2024 to see these goons destroying their cities again?

What happened to all the pandering, Joe?

And I am positive that most Americans (and possibly even most on this Board) would agree with me that it is sad that you are attempting to put a positive spin on despicable actions here. Plus your information is inaccurate.  The law enforcement officer’s name was Brian Sicknick. He was on the job during these events and was crushed during the demonstrations or riots or whatever you chose to call it. He died from those injuries a few days later. Melania honored the rioter ahead of him.

Calm your tits Caitlyn, I wasn’t putting any spin on anything.

I was not able to find anything that said a police officer was crushed during the demonstration. CNN and ABC news both reported that there were “three medical emergencies” that occurred during the protest and that the people had passed away. The made no mention of a police officer being crushed and dying during the protest.

So if you will, and I mean this in a non-argumentative way, post a reputable link or cite your source to that information. I have not seen anything like that being reported, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t just miss seeing it.

You are a liar.

FROM CNN:
“Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died Thursday night. Sicknick was reported to have been injured while physically engaging with the rioters and collapsed after returning to his division office, the Capitol Police statement said. "He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.”

Sicknick was not the police officer shown in videos being crushed in a doorway.

You are another lying liberal piece of shit.

Are your being sarcastic about the dems?

[Earl1972]

I don’t cry about those others. I think BLM is fine but BLM coupled with violence I have no use for (looters specifically). And I have no use for treasonous invaders of the Capitol.

explain why BLM is "fine"

Yes

MSM is done exploiting black people..... for now.......

Yes

Then I 100% agree with your sarcasm
Dem have the biggest shitholes as cities.

The negroes turned the white house black is what happened

Just to be clear, Brian Sicknick, was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher during the capitol riots. He later died from the injuries he sustained.

We are getting way too deep into the weeds here on which specific police officer was struck by fire apparatus and then later died or “crushed” in the fracas and then later died. My simple initial point was that there were deaths that happened in connection with the riots (that would not have happened otherwise) and that Melania offered condolences to a rioter ahead of the police officers.

Small-Town Iowa Public Schools Teach Preschoolers Transgenderism And Judging People By Skin Color
A Latino man is judged by the color of his skin and then dehumanized in racial terms because of where he lives. This is okay in America using public tax dollars and public institutions.
By Joy Pullmann
JANUARY 28, 2021

Next week, the Ames, Iowa public school district is sponsoring a “Black Lives Matter week of action” that includes teaching transgenderism to children as young as four years old, Young America’s Foundation reports.

On the school district’s webpage about this “week of action” slated for Feb. 1-5, it reprints the “Black Lives Matter at School Guiding Principles,” which include the following:

“6. Queer Affirming – We are committed to fostering a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking or, rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual unless s/he or they disclose otherwise.”

“7. Trans Affirming – We are committed to embracing and making space for trans siblings to participate and lead. We are committed to being self-reflexive and doing the work required to dismantle cis-gender privilege…”

“11. Black Villages – We are committed to disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, and especially ‘our’ children to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”

Besides being anti-family and adamant about teaching sexual information to children as young as four, the curriculum is overtly racist. Here are just a few examples.

The school district’s recommended lessons for middle and high school students during this week include a “Justice for Trayvon Martin Tool Kit” that includes the following statement for class discussion:

“Discuss George Zimmerman and his Internalized Racism [sic] how even though he is Latino, why he is labeled as white. Ex. George Zimmerman is ethnically latino[sic]–however, [sic] he has the same racial privilege as white person, living in a gated community. He has a light skin color, and he holds [sic] no spanish [sic] name. So Zimmerman is so white-washed, and consumed by white supremacy that [sic] is why he is white.”

A Latino man is judged by the color of his skin and then dehumanized in racial terms because of where he lives. This is okay to teach children in America using public tax dollars and public institutions.

The grammatically embarrassing “tool kit” also says: “THIS CAMPAIGN DIRECTLY TARGETS A PRISON-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX THAT SUPPORTS DRACONIAN DRUG POLICIES, IMMIGRANT DETENTION, AND THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE.” It also encourages students to “organize in their schools and communities” with activities such as “hosting a school assembly about police violence, starting a student organization dedicated to discussing and working on issues around police violence and racial profiling…”

A coloring page for young children linked in the school district’s curriculum folder for this week includes the following super-awkward, stereotyped image:



We want children to be encouraged to think of black people as drummers wearing ragged jungle clothes and bare feet? It’s probably way too uncomfortable for me to make any commentary about the physical features of this cartoon man, but suffice it to say that in other contexts they would also be seen as evidence of racist stereotyping. If The New York Times published this picture as an editorial cartoon or article illustration, street agitators would lose their minds.

This same district plan for “early childhood” instruction links to a lesson from the blog “Raising Race-Conscious Children.” That site states: “A key premise of this blog is that naming race (and other social realities) can support people to be race conscious (as opposed to ‘color blind’).” Ladies and gentlemen, we are no longer in Martin Luther King Jr.’s vicinity with race issues. We are in a much, much darker place.

The population of Ames is approximately 62,000. Ames Community School district manages about 5,000 students and spends $13,000 per student per year, according to federal data. Also according to federal data, 80 percent of Ames prek-12 students are white, 10 percent are Asian, 4 percent are Hispanic, and 3 percent are black.

The local media household income is $44,000, significantly below the national average. But the local median household income of parents of school children is $88,000, and 72 percent of parents of local school children have college degrees, approximately twice the national average on both counts.

What accounts for the difference? Ames is the home of Iowa State University and several federal agency outposts, such as an energy lab and U.S. Department of Agriculture locations. It appears the parents of most of the school-age children in the community are white professionals with college degrees — the typical woke profile. Seventy-nine percent of them are married, drastically more than the national average of U.S. parents of school children.

Marriage has undeniably contributed to these parents’ professional success. Children without it are at risk for almost every terrible thing possible, including poverty, physical and sexual abuse, poor health, and economic insecurity.

These comfortable parents have their children in public schools that are hypocritically endorsing the kind of family and social structure that, if realized, would ensure greater material and emotional poverty in their own children and in all children. While claiming to seek equality and justice, these parents’ school district is helping increase inequality and injustice.

Ames, Iowa is represented in the U.S. Congress by Republican Randy Feenstra. It is represented in the Iowa House by Democrat Ross Wilburn, a “diversity officer” for Iowa State University, and by Democrat Beth Wessel-Kroeschell. It is represented in the state Senate by Democrat Herman Quirmbach, a ranking member on the Senate Education Committee.

The Iowa legislature is currently considering a proposal to let parents decide where to take their child’s public education dollars rather than preserving public schools’ complete monopoly on children and funds.

BLM removed the invidious anti-nuclear family/pro-communist language from their website, but they're still pushing it.

Investigators struggle to build murder case in death of US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick

Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.

Soon after Sicknick died on January 7, prosecutors in Washington opened a federal murder investigation, dedicating a team inside the US attorney's office to build out a case, authorities have said.

To date, little information has been shared publicly about the circumstances of the death of the 13-year veteran of the police force, including any findings from an autopsy that was conducted by DC's medical examiner.

In a statement the day after the insurrection, Capitol Police said that Sicknick had been "injured while physically engaging with protesters" and collapsed as a result of his injuries sometime after returning to his office. He died the next day in a local hospital.

Mental health teams for mental health crises strikes me as a great idea, but the article states:

"By January, Mobile Crisis Teams will be able to respond to urgent mental health situations within two hours citywide during the day and evening. Mobile Crisis Teams, often dispatched by NYC Well and operated by hospitals and community-based organizations, respond to urgent mental health needs approximately 21,000 times per year, often serving children and adults in their homes. Mobile Crisis Teams can include nurses, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, community liaisons and peers. Services can include assessment, crisis counseling and connection to ongoing services. Through the Crisis Prevention and Response Task Force, the City improved response times of our mobile crisis teams."

Too many bad things can happen in just 10 minutes (let alone 2 hours) if police aren't available.  Crisis Team members will be injured or killed, and their union will demand that every team be accompanied by NYPD.

If you back BLM you are on the WRONG side

They will fire the propaganda machine back up just before mid-term elections.

If you want to keep your shiny things, remember who your masters are.

She thought the anti-White movement included being anti-Jews.

The movement, as in organized and funded.

BLM "Founder"  You founded BLM like you run Tesla.



Fired from BLM!


Not a Black organization, stupid. Your "power" and degree are imaginary. Should have stuck to being just anti-White, that's what BLM is about.

[Thin Lizzy]

explain why BLM is "fine"

E

I believe he’s Canadian. They don’t have any Black people there. That’s why it’s fine with them. I live in the city with the largest black population in the country. BLM is a fraud. The only people killing Black people here are Black people.
