    In our local newspaper - each day - a minister (a different one each week) will write a short article for the "CNY Inspirations"

    Well, Rev Peter Shidemantle wrote in part: We have observed terrible acts of violence against young Black men and women,..."

    I wonder if he thinks that it is only Blacks who are victims of violence.
    Why is that the only emphasis - when people of all colors are victims?

    Open for Discussion.

    I dont want to criticisize too much for a focus on black people. Black lives do matter, even though I do not like the BLM organization. White people and Latinos, Asians, and everyone matter too of course. As long as the BLM types accept more than black people deserve justice, I don't see a problem.

    I have found one nice thing talking to the BLM types in Orlando. They support getting justice for anyone they feel has been wronged. I have been discriminated against over my disabilities and an Orlando BLM member and old friend wanted to hook me up with journalists using his contacts. They are willing to support justice for white Anglo Saxon Protestants even if the main emphasis is on black people.

    Steve - fully agree with you - the challange I see is that the emphasis appears to be on POC only.

    Because they are racists. The majority of true racists in this country today have black skin.

    And the KKK also helped out a lot of black people over the years. Hate groups often do "charitable" acts to those on the fringes of the group they hate. In a sense its for good P.R. In a broader sense, its done to recruit a following of "useful idiots."

    WOW!! I never knew the KKK helped a lot of black people over the years.

    Maybe you could point to a source for that statement, other than yourself.

    peace to you

    I have a novel idea. Do your own research every once in a while.

    I have another novel idea. When you make an outrageous statement, such as “the KKK helped a lot of black people” be ready to back it up with a creditable source.

    Peace to you

    I can back it up. I simply refuse to waste another second of my life communicating with you.

    Then I'll ask for your source of this bit of information.

    Whoa, whoa, that picture isn't the deputy shot. I saw her on camera on the news just a few minutes ago. Knowing that, I looked to see if something was up. As per politifact, this is generally a fake news piece.

    PolitiFact - Facebook post uses fake photo of ambushed LA deputy, says NFL honors anti-police protesters

    The picture is not the deputy and a few protesters shouted they hoped both deputies died that night, but they had no ties to BLM local police report.

    So they count every protestor when they want to inflate their numbers, but when one inevitably does something beyond the pale, they disavow them.

    Seems legit.

    Certainly wrong, and unnecessary not to use the actual photo of the officer involved. She is a hero and should be honored as such.

    But BLM has been shouting death and violence toward police for months/years and if the NFL recognizes that group then they are, in fact, honoring a hate group that is anti-police.

    That is why I will not watch NFL,NBA, or Major League Baseball.

    Premier league darts is starting to look very exciting to me.

    peace to you

    If that is what your conscience tells you to do, then I won't tempt you Brother.

    Too true in a way, fry the "pigs" like bacon is still a BLM chant I can't get out of my head.

    You don’t know much about makeup, hair extensions, or hair color I would guess. You also trust too much when it comes to sources, like politifact. I don’t feel much like doing busy work on them, but a chart they put out on truthfulness in politicians showed all the dems being more truthful than all the republicans. Does that pass the smell test for you?

    Meanwhile, back to the violence being perpetrated by the left. The dem candidates are actually threatening the population with more & worse violence if they lose. Is this a team that really cares about anyones suffering? They need your fear, what kind of promise for the future is that?!
    Tulsa bodycam video released — Two officers shot, one dead…
    How many cops have been injured or killed thus far? Or is that not a # that the media cares enough to report? So the left wants to defund the police.......are you ready for UN troops to take over your streets? Maybe they will employ BLM or Antifa to handle the problems being caused BY them, that seems fair if you are going to live in insane world.
