The concept of BLM is that Black Lives Matter... what about that doesn't this guy agree with? It's not saying no other lives matter. It's simply asking the rest of the world to agree that African Americans shouldn't be strangled, shot in the back, sodomized with a broom handle, etc. I would hope we can all agree with that pretty basic concept.
You are 100% wrong. BLM the organization is 100% a Marxist movement masquerading behind minority groups. Black, Hispanics and LGBT groups. Now with that being said, no person should discriminated against due to color.
Yep. The co-founder of BLM said so... https://backtojerusalem.com/we-are-train...e-cullors/

People protesting the deaths of African Americans are allowed to espouse whatever political ideology they want. I won't mention (will I?) Trump's constant kow-towing to fascist and other white nationalist interests. When there are millions of people in the streets, you're going to find one of them whose politics you disagree with. And obviously you'll use that as an excuse to say Black Lives Don't Matter. The rest of us will have no part of it, because Black Lives Do, In Fact, Matter, Liberty University Be Damned.

You do realize that the only fan from Liberty to make a post in this thread is me right? And I only wished the best to both our former players?
I’m not sure how Liberty is being lumped into all these other comments and receiving the ire of the public here.

It could have been a reference to the comments made on the Liberty boards, but I'm just spitballing.

Maybe you should read what the founders of BLM said. They totally admit to being Marxist. I’ve even posted a link of the interview with the co-founder.

RE: Liberty?
It doesn't really matter what your views are on BLM. I mean, it does but not in this discussion.
The issue here is Jerry Falwell, Jr. I don't care for his politics but I'll admit that he's made a lot of smart moves that have quickly propelled the University to where it is and where it's going. Now though he's becoming a toxic element that a lot of the students, alumni and other interest holders feel doesn't represent the schools value as a Christian University and will ultimately hold them back. I know this as I know plenty of these people living an hour from Lynchburg. He needs to be forced out. They've also lost a star ladies basketball player, many black staff and the support of alumni. Most of this is due to JFJ's tweet depicting our governor in blackface on a facemask.
https://wset.com/news/local/top-liberty-...sitivities
I'm hoping Old Dominion can land one or both of these transfers.

Correct. Falwell has done really well in many regards (going FBS, massive online programs, growth, etc) but he needs to get out of his own way or be pushed out.

No, the concept and value of the current BLM movement has been completely lost in the last month. It's now a vehicle for extreme left wing propoganda. We as a country lost a huge opportunity to call for real.change and unity after Floyd's death was caught on video. Battle lines have now been draw and folks have made up their minds on what BLM means to them.
You're going away from the point. What did those two young men feel that made them say , you know what , this campus and school is not for me and I can't ignore that fact anymore. THAT is the point.

If that is what you have taken away from the Protests over the last month, then you are part of the problem.
No change was going to happen without protests. Change is happening. Change is sometimes messy, but for many POC, status quo is worse.
We never could have had unity because 35% of the country don't think the Police did anything wrong, and since Floyd had a record, he someone was at fault.
When Kaepernick tried to protest peacefully, he was run out the league. Every time a Black person was killed there was always the excuse and coverups, with little or no punishments.
Sorry if some of you have been made uncomfortable over the last month - maybe that will open enough eyes to make a difference.
Equality, equal treatment under the law, freedom to live without being in fear of being shot or killed aren't left wing ideals. They should be AMERICAN Ideals. HUMAN ideals.
Look at Ahmaud Arbery - hunted down, terrorized and killed solely because he was black. And Law Enforcement covered for the murderers.
Look at Breonna Taylor - murdered in her own home by sheer incompetence, no charges filed yet, Louisville tried to sweep it under the rug.
Change is needed. Change will happen. Count on it.
George Floyd was inexcusable and anyone who says otherwise is in denial. Now I do feel bad for 2 of the other 3 cops there, they had zero real experience and still should have stepped in and stopped it. But they had 3 shifts between them. They will likely just be fired. Chauvin will get killed in prison.
The Arbery case, I don’t think he was “hunted”, but was murdered. Those guys are toast as well. His criminal past didn’t justify what happened to him, same as with Floyd.
Breonna Taylor....that’s an interesting case because of the way the warrants were issued and the fact the she was named in the warrant as well. There has been so much missing information on this case it’s too early to really say what happened.
Now to Black Lives Matter. The organization is built on lies and deceit. It is a Marxist organization hiding behind racial and sexual orientation inequalities. Below is a link to their own self admission as such.
https://youtu.be/HgEUbSzOTZ8
Wasn't hunted? Was chased by two trucks, HIT by one truck and when he had no choice tried to defend himself against an armed posse as was shots in the chest. How was he not hunted? In Georgia that is a lynching every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Incorrect. The current Black Lives Matter movement is more mainstream now than it ever was before.

How Public Opinion Has Moved on Black Lives Matter
By Nate Cohn and Kevin QuealyJune 10, 2020
In the last two weeks, American voters’ support for the Black Lives Matter movement increased almost as much as it had in the preceding two years.
"By a 28-point margin, Civiqs finds that a majority of American voters support the movement, up from a 17-point margin before the most recent wave of protests began."
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020...tudes.html
Right now the same thing is happening to BLM that happened to the Tea Party.
The Tea Party started out as supporters of small government, and was hijacked by the far right. It eventually evolved into Trump's base, but most of the original Tea Party supporters are now Never-Trumpers.
BLM started out as supporters of police reform, and is being hijacked by the far left.
In a pure democracy, the people who have the most passion (i.e. the extremists or the special interest groups) will seek to hijack any popular movement that meets their ends.
