  • White Lives Matter Protesters...

    Good thing, bad thing?

    HOUSTON - Dozens of people gathered outside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People headquarters in Third Ward Sunday for a White Lives Matter protest.

    White Lives Matter protesters, holding American and Confederate flags, were at the NAACP around noon. As time passed, the crowd started to grow, prompting the arrival of police on horseback and the placement barricades.

    "We came here because the NAACP headquarters is here and that's one of the most racist groups in America," Scott Lacy said.

    White power t-shirts? White shoelaces on combat boots? Confederate flags? This isn't a group of regular joes tired of the Black Lives Matter movement, these are the calling cards of white supremacists. So, the answer is, this is a bad thing. I mean, it would probably be bad even if it wasn't a bunch of goofy white supremacists, but it's worse that it is. I think most of the Black Lives Matter movement is pretty goofy, but this is certainly not the way to answer it. All it does is reinforce the Us vs. You borders, which, honestly, probably plays into the hands of the racist elements on either side.

      yeah it was basically the other side of the coin of the BLM movement. It is just as racist as BLM.

          Their actions suggest to me that they are deeply misguided and don't understand, among other things, context, namely how the context of their lives is different than the context of black lives. They seem to be thinking about the protests of the BLM movement in a vacuum, as if them going out protesting makes their cause as justified or equivalent to the protesting of others.

              Who are the real racists:

              AKRON, OH (WOIO) -

              A group of men chanting "Black Lives Matter" were accused of viciously beating up seven white victims in Akron early Sunday morning.

              According to the police report, the attack happened around 12:30 a.m. in the area of Carroll and Goodkirk streets.

              Police said seven white men were walking when they were approached by five black men and two white men, shouting, "Black lives matter."

              The suspects started hitting them with bottles, punching and kicking the victims. One victim fell to the ground and was kicked in the head several times before losing consciousness. The suspects then took the victims' belongings before running off.

              Both Akron police and University of Akron officers responded and located the suspects nearby.

                First off, I doubt the whole story has been told here. I doubt 5 black men and 2 white were just walking down the street and just decided lets attack these 7 white guys just because they are white. There was probably something that triggered it. But even if they did, so what, there are morons of every stripe and color out there doing moronish things, but they would have nothing to do with the BLM movement, because the BLM movement doesn't condone that sort of thing, they're not racists, or violent, their cause is justice.

                  how do you know what the "BLM" doesn't condone? They claim they are not any sort of official movement, so they have not "condones" or "doesn't condones"

                  In practice, though, the people who go around shouting BLM, are racist and anti-police and do attack whites and police. It has happened over and over. It is a violent movement, and racist. Dr. King is turning over in his grave at the way these people are acting.

                        Paul Joseph Watson, Alex Jones, really Sparko? This is what the Republican Party has done to itself by cozying up to these far right nut jobs in order to win the support of their naive nut job audience. And now Trump has hired one of them to run his campaign. I'll see you in the november landslide!

                          unlike you JimL. I think no matter who wins the election, we all lose. So enjoy.

                              Truthfully, I haven't decided.

                              Three choices:

                              1. Vote for an independent because both Trump and Clinton are so bad. But then Johnson/Weld are not much better.
                              2. Vote for Trump, because I definitely don't want Hillary to win.
                              3. Don't vote at all because I don't want to sell out my principals and vote for Trump just because he is "not as bad" as Hillary.

                              I probably won't know what I am going to do until election day.
