@@TotalofZero Look up what a useful idiot is. You're actively supporting a cultural revolution analogous to the ones that took place in Russia and China, yet you call others stupid. If you knew your history and could look objectively at what is going on you would be horrified to see the uncanny similarities between those events and the situation we are in now.

[@OwenC1]

Defunding the police is a bad idea. People will die without police. This does not mean police are not corrupt, some are. Reform and proper training needs to take place

[@SunnyLovetts]

Isn’t the road public property? Like don’t we pay taxes to keep them clean?

[@Macca-95]

The constitutional ramifications of these road displays may be quite funny. If these mayors are allowing political expression to be made on roads then they cannot preference one idea over others.

[@SunnyLovetts]

Macca95 I agree, it shall be interesting if any conservatives still have the balls to confront it. I think we should go to a road and write ALL LIVES MATTER and see the response lol

[@Lee_music249]

@@SunnyLovetts stop talking about it and do it. Thousands of people protesting in streets "BLM" but yet we're here at home typing back and forth. Let's take some action, we have to eventually.

Adam Burney sadly I’m in the middle of nowhere, but it I was in a city I would. It kinda sucks that BLM are way more organized than ALM. Also our people aren’t fond of vandalism.

[@Lee_music249]

@@SunnyLovetts I don't agree with vandalism either, the problem is that we don't have the support, the organization like you said, and the media is in an all out war with people like me and you. We have to get organized there's no way around it, and stay unified through this time. We gotta keep our heads up, or we'll be looking at the ground for the rest of our lives and our family's lives.

[@davidnierzwick2775]

Does BLM create racism or fix racism?

[@retsrow2899]

What they are doing is the definition of racism

[@chrisbabcock9097]

This would be a great topic to discuss! It is, as has been said the definition, it’s more though, It is causing racism by separating, blaming whites, not taking responsibility for their actions, abortions, the crazy demands like defund the police, it cause fear and anger, the very cause of racism. Charging good police, not all, I am for reform, but that Atlanta cop, the double standards. To make it worse factors they can’t control but start make it worse, like actors taking responsibility for being white, that strange Seattle place, the democrats doing nothing to stop it, and no one is sure what trump is doing, it all brings fear. Anyone else got a thought?

[@Ivan.Wright]

@@chrisbabcock9097 I find the biggest cause of all this ignorance and racism (from any race or peoples) is overgeneralization. It's a problem people face when looking for answers and stop at the first one they agree with. It's kinda like the phrase "It's always in the last place you look" but that's because you never keep looking after. As soon as they find a simple answer to such a complex system they try to blanket everything with it. Also something I like to remind myself is "There is an infinite amount of information in this universe. That means our ignorance is also infinite"

No one who has any humanity at all should EVER be shamed, or have to take a "Shame Walk". Not for what they have done, let alone what others in whatever so called group they belong to did in the past or do in the present. Shaming never helps anyone. Not victims, not even perpetrators. What helps is understanding. What helps is making amends when the person is ready, but that is not the same as "reparations". Reparations is a demand that is a condenmnation like the barrel of a gun pointing at their face. You think this ever creates healing or togetherness? I ****ing would NEVER take a knee to anyone one earth who was trying to shame me. I would get in their face and say, "you dont know me, you dont know how hard my life has been. I bet you would never want to trade places with me.. so take all your preconceived ideas and shove them. I dont ask you to kneel for me and you shouldnt ask me to kneel for you. I dont even thing we should kneel together, because there is NO SUCH THING as making up for what happened in the past. There is only doing good in the future. There is only a chance to heal and this never comes from division. The elites those ****ing sociopaths really are adept at getting us all to hate each other. They are using race as a trigger now and I find it disgusting. There I have said my peace.

[@HipHopmusic759]

The w man went to Africa in the 1500's. By that time Oxford University was already built. So was the great wall of China. St Peters-burg in Russia. Japan was thriving. What was sub Saharan Africa doing? There is not one structure that stands in Sub Saharan Africa that is is over 500 years old. What were you doing for 9500 years before that? Also side note white countries were the first to abolish the slave trade. Africans sold w black s laves didn't go there with guns and randomly take people. Yet we were the first to abolish it even though it still goes on in Africa and Arabia to this day. Why do b people leach off the w man? In a free democratic country like US why not create your own Universities, businesses, jobs. Why always look to the w man? Instead go and sort out the 83% single parenthood in b families in the US. Why do certain people always have their hand out looking to the w man?
