White supremacists murdered a cop. All lives matter protesters chanted "kill the faggots". Doesn't matter to him.
Thin Blue Line protesters could march through chanting, "Kill Jews! Kill Blacks! Kill Queers!" Doesn't matter to him.
Darth Wedgius probably doesn't believe that what some Black Lives Matter people say means that all BLM's think the same way, he's just trying to earn white supremacist cred.

There is always those elements in everything. Honestly in my opinion, they are anarchists acting like they have a purpose behind their actions.Dragon Ball Fan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 10:06 pmbut why are these extremists allowed to exist in the movement, they are the one and only reason I am not completely behind the protests.GreyICE wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 9:17 pm The key to understanding Darth Wedgius here is that he isn't being honest.

DBF isn't really getting that Black Lives Matter isn't a closed or controlled organization. They have one very precise goal, which is to protest for more institutional change, mostly on a public level.McAvoy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 1:17 amThere is always those elements in everything.

I had to Google DBF. Honestly took me longer than I would like to admit to realize you were talking about DragonBall Fan.

Anyway you are right, this isn't exactly a close knitted Organization with rules and regulations that members have to follow. Or even be a member of. It's a slogan.

Right. It's a hashtag. It's a basic form of protest that doesn't involve legal trialing or anything. It's protest in the street in order to voluntarily mandate change.

GreyICE, when have I ever advocated white supremacy? I can't recall ever demeaning a race or calling for different treatment of any race in any way whatsoever, other than suggesting blacks make sure they get enough vitamin D. I can't see how that's racist.
I have also not dismissed all of BLM. As I recall, it wasn't me saying some ridiculous crap like, "BLM show their true face," and I can't recall ever saying that a group should be judged entirely by the actions of a relative minority. It's you and Fuzzy with your ACAB line who like to do that.
It's almost as if you're talking completely out of your ass and have given up on any pretense of honesty.
Oh, wait... I'm sorry. Forgot whom I was talking to.
