Reminds me of when the woke attack and refuse to participate in gay pride parades because they're "too white". Hell, we can't force diverse people to show up. Show up rather than boycotting, and help us make it less white and more diverse.(April 25, 2022 at 11:01 pm)Irreligious Atheist Wrote: Yes, an organization who puts out an edict on their official website calling Jussie Smollett innocent, and a person who says that financial disclosures for non-profits are racist and therefore should not be required by law, I'm sure are people we can trust to come up with an alternative to having courts in society.1. I said she is an abolitionist and thus clearly supports an alternative system to our current one and thus is not proposing anarchy. Regardless of any actions, she or BLM may have taken it's still a valid position your employing a textbook Ad hominem. Also at no point does she say finical disclosers are racist and thus BLM should not be subject to them. It's not even in the quote you use.
What is your alternative idea to "courts", Helios? And I did not bash blacks, liar. I'm bashing activists that are proposing nonsense. Nice that you see blacks as a monolith. Cut it out. 80 percent of black people do not want the police defunded. Stop lying and acting like YOUR views represent black people's views. I was merely responding to Nudge attacking gay rights activists and trying to lessen those achievements.

Patrisse Cullors, a BLM founder, said she found it "triggering" — emotionally compromising — when she hears about financial documents being made public.
Cullors claimed that activists’ lives are put at risk and that they endure trauma by having to disclose their charities’ finances, while also claiming the system "is being literally weaponized against us," the Washington Examiner reported.
"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure," she said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."![]()
2. Accept you have not demonstrated its nonsense. Just asserting that it is is not an argument. Actually, you are bashing blacks and I have at no point either stated blacks are a monolith or that my views represent anybody. So actually it's you who is lying about me and about Nudge as at no point does he bash gay activists in that quote![]()
So fail

Stonewall, Britain’s biggest LGBT charity, has pulled out of this year’s Pride in London festival, citing concerns over the event’s “lack of diversity”.
The decision came after Pride’s organisers rejected concerns raised by its own advisory board last year that it was not inclusive enough for minority ethnic communities.
When the community advisory board released a report suggesting the event needed to improve its representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, a spokesman for Pride said it did not believe the report reflected the majority view and was “inaccurate in many places which is disrespectful to the many volunteers who work hard to deliver the event”.
