That’s quite the false equivalence you’ve made there
Ahhh yes the BLM movement, famously known for lynching thousands of people just like the KKK!
Also, the KKK were only fighting to uphold their racist ideals. This is exactly the same as the BLM movement trying to fight against racism.
No false equivalence here!
Yes, both are extremist movements. One (BLM) doesn't want black people to be murdered in the streets, while the other (KKK) want to murder black people in the streets. What is wrong with you?
I believe black people’s lives matter. I hold that view so strongly that I’m willing to shout it in the streets. Does that make part of a political extremist movement?
Uniform is uniform, no politics in work is how every job I've had was. Can I wear a Spanish flag pin cuz it's my heritage? No it violates dress code
How is the statement Black Lives Matter a divisive political slogan? Take all the time you need.
Sorry you live in a shitty town where a BLM sticker triggers snowflakes.
Go to any city in America and you'll see all sorts of BLM, rainbow flags, signage on storefronts. This isn't just mom & pop shops, but major companies too.
Yeah this one in particular pisses me off... A kid lost out on school time because of a flag that had nothing to do with "the south"... and was never co-opted by "racists"... yet the only people I saw freaking out about that was conservatives... And yet here we are...
False equivalence fallacy.
I agree with you, but at most places, one will probably get you fired, where the other would be a conversation.
6 day old account with -900 karma... I think it's a troll, guys!
Are you seriously equating BLM to the KKK?
BLM's message is "Please stop murdering us"
How the fuck is that divisive, political, or offensive?
What's divisive is morons like you saying "No, ALL LIVES MATTER".
You're either completely missing the point, in which case you're dumber than I thought possible, or you're willfully ignoring it, in which case you're just a racist.
Which is it?
