Sadly, the same people who misconstrue what kneeling for the anthem was about, also don't have a clue (or refuse to understand)...as to the real purpose of Black Lives Matter.


Having said that, I do think BLM could help their own cause by making more effort in helping law enforcement find and prosecute those criminals...who are corrupting their peaceful intent on changing things.
:ohdear:

Not only the Mass Media, but leaders of these communities, as well as civil rights leaders.

How would YOU feel if YOU or your family lived in these impacted communities amidst this violence and swept under the rug by national Press and their minions? I am perplexed and saddened.

It's not selective reporting, it's selective reading. What newspapers do you read?

But Fox is biased towards reason. They do not call a riot a peaceful protest. CNN will never report anything good about the current administration. Always search for something bad to say even if not newsworthy. Presidents last rally - Not as many attendees as expected, either criticize the POTUS remark about cutting back on COVID tests or if a joke say it was in bad taste. Claim that POTUS blamed protestors for low attendance. A credible news agency would acknowledge good as well as bad. If an agency reports only bad , they are not a news agency.

I remember at the U of MN Law School in 1986 that the Class of 1989 had about 2 African America law students in a Class of about 260. And the Class of 1990 had maybe 4 African Americans and one of these was actually a Caucasian who lied on his application. And the Class of 1991 had around the same number of about 4 or 5 African Americans. Each of these Classes was around 250-275 students.

The Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, was one of the African Americans in the Class of 1990 and he was also the only Muslim that I recall in that Class.

We did have a few African American law professors.

Getting rid of Aunt Jemima is a racist act. Who's the white guy that decided to remove the black lady's picture off my favorite syrup? I am going to protest if they replace her with a white woman. The next thing you know, they will be taking the Indian (indigenous naive American) off the Butter..............oh wait.

Family of woman who portrayed Aunt Jemima opposes move to rebrand

We have all seen and continue to witness new ground being gained by political and special interest groups that are all in minority (not race) by comparison to the total American citizens.

The position that has too long been taken of it doesn't affect me or it is not in my back yard is no longer true. It is affecting us all. And it is in or coming to our back yards as well.

This will continue until such time as the silent majority finally gets to a point where enough is enough.

You are quite right , sir. The recent violence can be attributed to 2 generations of high school and college student indoctrination. These last 2 generations have been taught to hate this country and everything it stands for by leftest high school teachers and radical college professors, This county's roots were formed on the idea of slavery and can never be corrected unless it is destroyed (Google "the 1619 Project") This is right out of the Marxist handbook. They must burn the current system to the ground and build it up again in the Marxist image. When I see the rioters, I don't see too many who look like they come from the Villages! And so, after allowing these Marxists to indoctrinate our students for decades, the chickens have come home to roost. We have only ourselves to blame by allowing this to happen. Again, you are right...they are coming for all of us!
