I wonder if any on the hard right have ever protested people wanting their imaginary friends included in the country's science classes?

I sure these "protesters" will have their defenders too. Because, you know,...

I know you'd prefer a country where we weren't allowed to protest at all.

And yes, "black lives matter" is so much more offensive than swastika and the Nazi salute, because you know, swastika ought to fly over the White House and all black lives should be dead.

So fuck head, when under similar circumstances blacks are several times more likely to be shot by the police than whites, damn right protesters doing what ever it takes to reinforce the message that black lives matter will have defenders, and damn you to hell and may your wormy tongue become permanently stuck in you own asshole if you fail to rise up and defend them.

Not understanding why this happens is like saying, "German lives matter while blaming the Jews for responding".

Oh Em Gees...those darkies and their sympathizers sprayed graffitti all over a rock!  Maybe, after we're done catching -those- evildoers, we'll "take a look" at killer cops. Priorities and such, ofc.

Honestly, Neo, if BLM spray painted that shit on your face while you were sleeping..I;d be on their side, not yours.

So, spray painting statues is the same as spray painting someones face?  Sounds alot like you did when you were claiming adultery is the same as slavery.

So, let me understand something here:  Every week or so, I hear a new story about black people being killed by police.  Usually it's an unarmed person and the cop thought they had a gun and the cop gets away with it.  Courts rarely bring charges.  It's become so damn common that I can't even keep track of all those situations anymore.  So, what's to be done about it?  How can they protest?  So far, any attempts to protest have been dismissed or told that they're too hostile.  Even reasonable protests, like those of Colin Kaepernick, are met with hostility and hate.  How would you suggest black activists act on their first amendment right to speak up and say this is wrong?

Why do I mention those issues?  Because, to quote MLK, a riot is the voice of the unheard.  If you don't want violence, try listening to them.  If you want more violence, murder someone by hitting them with your car while your side tries to take the moral high ground.

I would be on your side if anyone spray painted you in the face while you were asleep, Khem, even after all the hurtful things you have said to me, including this.

See, my take on this is slightly different.

I certainly don't agree we defacing national monuments or memorials by either side of the divide - and that's what it is, a divide.

As much as I don't agree with something isn't justification to damage or destroy it.

I don't like the messages of religious books, yet I have them on my bookshelf alongside my medical texts. I would never justify destroying them. Yes, I make comments about some books being available in two ply, but the moment we start damaging or destroying them, we're no better than the extremists we oppose who DO justify burning books.

And why should statues be different?

If you don't like them, try working within the system to have them removed. I won't say I understand fully the impact of seeing Confederate statues has on the descendants of people who were enslaved as my family, as far as I know, have never experienced this. So

I might be writing this from a completely naïve perspective, and tell me if I am.

lol
A group of terrorist blowing up a statue is not the same as having it legally removed

Spray painting a statue in protest  is not the same as either

Jesus wooter get sense of perspective . And no removing tributes to thugs is not erasing history . No amount of removing a statue is going erase the civil war . It's been documented to death . Not celebrating thugs is not erasing history .
