Easy fellas.
My views on BLM are not positive but I’m extremely confident that the behavior above is only from the extremist end and not part of anything official BLM.
Isn't the official end of BLM the extremist bit?

Do tell. -

But remember BLM are the good guys! Corporate approved! Kneel at your footy game! Say no to bigotry and vote Joe!
Perhaps corporate involvement is a better bet than letting the loonies have their way completely ?

The first two Hollywoods in the first 30 seconds or so are classic soccer moments.Great to have football back.
Such fine, upstanding gentlemen.

Neymar was racially abused and it caused him to be sent off. Outrageous.
Outrageous that no one else heard it?

But when neither BLM nor the Democrats denounce the actions then they all wear the same hat.

Do tell.A selection from their website https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/
"We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable."
Buggered if I know what it means either.

No justice. No peace.

Victimised at least twice, perhaps thrice.

On the bright side here is a blm rioter discovering that made-up pronouns don't protect your junk from rubber bullets
That made me laugh.

Pennsylvania's turn for some fiery but mostly peaceful protest.

I love the way the first thing out of their mouths is 'Medic'
Too much time in front of the idiot box

Thank god. Always reassuring when a random on the net says everything will be ok.
Random? Offended.

Do tell.You think Lewis, EPL, Starmer, met, just to name a few, took the knee on the back of things like this?
It’s not all bad.

@MajorRage I think the average person supporting blm is supporting them for positive reasons, standing up for what they assume is racism based on the info they get from mainstream sources. They don't see the riots, don't know that the martyrs are almost exclusively rapists/violent offenders resisting arrest. The organisation however is extremist. I'm still yet to see any evidence proving otherwise, happy to see some if anyone has any. Politicians, celebs and corporations believe a twitter echo chamber that has been banning dissenting voices for the last 4 years is real life so they are jumping on what they think is the virtuous side..and as videos like in this spread they are increasingly looking like supporters of domestic terrorism.

This is a great call. The amount of FB friends I have who have changed their profile pics and seem ignorant of a lot of what is going on is quite startling.

@MN5 Yeah I've had to rain on a couple of facebook parades. "umm you know he had a warrant for raping an underaged girl right?" attaching documentation proving it. Thankfully at this stage raping children is still frowned upon by even the most ardent blm supporters.

Not sure I love his argument. Why does the rap sheet of some of these people matter when they are brutally gunned down by police? In the case of George Floyd he clearly wasn't a nice man, but that doesn't justify his treatment.
It's the same standard you apply to Avi Yemini on the Auspol thread.

There has to be a separation between the words and the sentiment behind them, and the organisation of the same name. Because clearly they are about two different things
