Again... I truly believe there are many black and white (and asian. etc) people who feel very strongly that black people are not treated fairly. They are peacefully protesting.

I don't think the solution is easy by any means. Or something that can be solved "overnight."

Your comment would carry more weight and have more credibility, if you could point to even a single instance/post where you said the same thing...to those who constantly attack me.

Isn't that the epitome...of fairness?

Mmmm seems like I remember the Weather Underground being one of those special social justice seekers that you so eagerly defend.

Burn, Loot, Murder. BLM is a domestic terrorist group.

Surely, you don't mean the...FIRST AMENDMENT to the Bill Of Rights?






1. Who is supposedly doing the "well-funding?"

2. Which "subversive groups"...are they funding?

3. Do you have even a scintilla of actual proof (fringe/lunatic conspiracy sites don't count )...to either 1 or 2?

4. You really believe, that statues & monuments erected of traitors to this nation, solely to intimidate blacks during the Jim Crow era (long after the end of the Civil War)...is the only thing that constitutes "history?"




5. Are you familiar with those other things, besides statues/monuments to traitors and losers, called...history books?

I'm always interested in learning new things, so am very anxious...in seeing your specific answers.

Just so you know, I answered all your questions. However, my post did not appear. Possibly you deleted it?

ColdNoMore can't delete posts. He's not a moderator. You can remove the text from your own posts, and the moderators can delete posts. That's it.

You mean you didn't know, that members can delete other members posts...anytime they choose?

I thought everyone knew that?

You see the small red triangle in right upper corner? One can notify moderators to delete the post. My post is my opinion on what is happening in this country and why. If it offended someone, I’m sorry. It wasn’t meant to inflame anyone.

Lots protest because they are paid. Others protest because they have nothing else to do, the government pays too well. Others just don't like anything. Do these people ever work?

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve heard say they don’t watch the news anymore. You would think the media would get the message we are disgusted with their one sided, hateful, and racist reporting.

I watch news - not op-eds, not news SHOWS - but actual newscasts, live reporting, investigative journalism reports.

I watch it because I want to know what's going on in the world. I don't want to hear it from some guy who posted on the internet what he heard about from his sister who got an e-mail from a blog she subscribes to that describes an event that was published by Weekly World News 3 years ago.

I watch it, and then I check references. If a newscast says "This legislator just passed that bill" I will know that there's a bill of interest to me, and I can search online for the actual government website that has the bill itself published, and I can read that bill and see exactly what's in it.

I can't do that, if I don't know that there's a bill of interest in the first place.

I can't look outside my window and decide that it's going to thunderstorm in 5 hours, based on what I see. I need to check the weather - which is news.

I can't know that I should probably check my schedule tomorrow and see if I'm even supposed to be at work at all, if I don't know that the governor has ordered all supermarkets to close. And I won't know that this is TRUE - unless I first see it on an actual news report, which will prompt me to check the governor's website for the official announcement. Or if I'm lucky I'll be able to catch that announcement live - on the news.

I check the news to be informed about current events. You don't have to, but then you'll be uninformed, and won't really have anything to contribute to any conversation about current events.
