Yep. Through the media. The BLM is not supporting violence. Go look on their site. Do you see them supporting looting and rioting anywhere? Do you see them supporting lawless country anywhere?

They certainly are not trying to stop it.
How do you propose that they stop the violent criminals?
Treat them as outcasts, not part of the movement. Speak out against them at least. They could take a few lessons from MLK Jr.
I think she's a Spokesperson for the White Race.
I highly recommend voting Third Party since it throws off the total count. The more people who do it, the better.
People who don't vote, even if it's only for the President, become non-existent. If there are 100 voters and one of them doesn't vote, it's 99 voters. The vote count percentage is 100%, not 99% and 1 abstention.
However, if the first 99 voters vote for Candidates X and Y but the 100th voter votes for Candidate Z, then 99% of the votes are split between the first two candidates and 1% for the third candidate. It may not seem like much, but if like 2016, it denies either major party from achieving 50%+ of the vote. Even if Hillary had won the 2016 election, more people voted against her than for her.
-------------------Trump-----------Hillary------------Third Party
Popular vote......62,984,828.......65,853,514........6,678,550
Percentage........46.1%..............48.2%...............5.7%
I do the same in local and State elections if I don't like either main candidate. If there's only two running, then I vote for the challenger regardless of party (unless it's Libertarian).
A racist Liberal atheist? Say it ain't so!
Thanks Dutch. I will take that into account. Appreciate it.
It's not their job to be the police just like it's not the job of any RWs on this forum to stop a "Nazis for Trump" rally. As citizens, they have a civic duty to report criminals. At that point, it's up to the police.
In a way it is Dutch. When you include the rabble rousers or not even speak against them, you are condoning it. I have yet to hear any BLM even speak against the rioting and looting.
She sees a 'threat' and is pointing it out. That's what a Political Forum is all about.
I small, tiny offshoot of BLM is not cutting it. Though you did prove me wrong. I am talking about the real leaders of BLM. Shaun King and the rest.
I've seen BLM reps speak against the criminals, the looters. How many Republicans tried to stop or spoke out about the illegal actions of RWers in Lansing, Michigan?
In the military, "silence was consent", but not as much in the civilian world. If it was, then why is Trump condoning hits on American troops?

It's OK to Be White
I think you are buying into the 'People of Color' line. Do you feel 'Asians' hate White People? I don't. That's a 'Black' talking point. Trying to paint anyone not 'White' as 'Colored' and thus Oppressed.
I feel the same about Hispanics.
I don't think all non-white people hate white people and I don't think they're actually oppressed. However, most of them think they're oppressed and that can easily lead to them hating white people or at least cause them to fight for policies that help the non-white population at the expense of Whites.
Of course not all non-white people are racist, but most of them do support things like reparations and open borders. This is what happens when a country becomes multiracial. Minorities all see themselves as the outsiders fighting against oppression. It's especially bad in the West because we also have the media telling them this.
And when a group of people is hated, like Whites are now hated, the establishment can sway people to commit acts of violence against said group.
That has yet to play out Dutch. Like everything, the truth will come out later than the hype or not hype. As far as the rest, if you stand by someone committing a crime, you are an accomplice. Refresh my mind about what happened in Lansing. Seriously, it is not coming to me.
It's evidence that they do. I see RWers complain all the time that "the media" isn't reporting certain things....which means the things the RWers want reported upon. Since "an absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence", how can someone prove what's not being reported? Such as BLM members speaking out against looters and criminals?
Not exactly what we were look for but there you go.
"I hate riots, but I understand them. I hate the destruction they cause, but I see them as a symptom, as an effect, of a destructive, violent, and unjust country."

Yet Trump hasn't spoken a single word about it. By your logic, Trump supports countries who put bounties on American troops.
What I'm saying is, no. Silence doesn't make consent in all cases. Why would BLM support looters and criminals? Seems to me that would work against them.
That was from 2016. Even then he was condoning them.
