Opinion of Black Lives Matter

[PJ]

Positive (normal, not a racist)

Don't want to empty-quote, but this seems fairly succinct.

Wales

I have a net-positive view of it.

Appalachian Ohio

Didn't the actual BLM say that the agitators at Sanders rallies had nothing to do with them? I don't see any reason to hold an entire movement accountable for the action of a few loons.

What SWE said.

Yvelines

Positive. Although I may question tactics from time to time (attacking Bernie), overall it's a great movement!

Kansas

This is such a white thread. "All Lives Matter", "Stop policing black neighborhoods" lol.



Very, very positive.

Indiana

Positive in terms of motivation, negative in terms of tactics. Hope it ends up less fragmented and dumb then Occupy though.

Utah

British Columbia

Positive in terms of motivation, negative in terms of tactics. Hope it ends up less fragmented and dumb then Occupy though.

This is roughly my stance on it.

San Francisco

Positive (normal, not a racist)

Maine

Massachusetts (see I can imply meaningless arguments based on where people live too!)

Massachusetts (see I can imply meaningless arguments based on where people live too!)

I think his argument is White People's Opinions Don't Matter...WPODM....not a good acronym (or argument).

Yeah apparently people that live in overwhelmingly white areas aren't allowed to have opinions on this according to his logic. That logic is just very, very poor.

Alrighty.

If you (hypothetical collective plural) are really loud and insistent about how fond you are of black people...
...why do you live in a place with no black people?  (In most of those cases not even near somewhere that's majority-black).

c.f. Deep South Evangelicals and Jews.

"If you're a communist why do you live in America??"

Your "point" is very similar to the above argument, but quite possibly even dumber.
