    Agreed, they can say what they want, but their wish is going nowhere.

    I take it you are triggered by Andy Ngo’s reporting so felt the need to make something up.

    That right there.

    If BLM actually supported the ideas that improved their youth as humans, recommended ways to move forward on the socio-economic ladder and the idea that staying school is the first step forward to a path of improvement, I would support them also.

    As if we needed more proof that the Marxist racists at BLM were Marxist racists.

    I think this is a fair question: if white owned businesses had to lay off employees because of a boycott by black people, should those businesses lay off the black employees first?

    Just wow. Talk about disconnected.
    You should do a little research before posting things you obviously have no clue about.

    Maybe you should get educated on the claim instead of yet another fake Trumpism.

    Hardly a 'current event' as this is the 7th year for this activity. The idea was to support black owned businesses. But sure, set your hair on fire...

    So you support discriminating against businesses base upon the color of a person's skin?

    So it’s the seven year anniversary of anti white racism by blacks? How was it allowed to go on for so long?

    Why is an action designed to be pro black designated as anti white? Do you see something wrong with a group encouraging the support of black owned businesses? Its such a small slice of the pie - and you KNOW that the 'boycott' will not result in hurting white owned businesses. So why all the hooplah?

    So NBC and MSNBC are now fake news?

    The only thing fake is your claim while trying to dodge your fake post about blacks supporting Trump

    I support a movement that encourages consumers going to a small and often overlooked business segment. Do you really think this will put a dent in white owned businesses????

    So you do support racism. You support stores not being shopped at if the owners have the wrong color skin. If a white organization issued proclamations telling people to not shop at stores owned by people with dark skin would you also be supportive of that racism?

    If you can't see the difference, I can't help you. What segment of the market are 'white' businesses? And what segment are 'black' owned? I don't happen to see racism in every little thing. In this case - although they do no favors for themselves with the angry rhetoric - I see a group who is trying to support a tiny segment of the population. I would have preferred if they focused their message on the positive rather than the negative, but that is consistent with many members of BLM.

    Nice attempt at spinning. When the left puts out stories that go against the left's narrative then that means something.

    Most are corporate owned so there is no discernable race involved. You're talking about not shopping at Sally and Joe's shop because they have the wrong color skin. Racism.

    Can people openly declare they're going to do things that are pro white? We can't even say it's OK to be white. In fact, we can't even make the OK sign.

    On the flip side, black women can win every beauty contest around, white women need not apply. Blacks dominate commercials, and I mean dominate. And if there were no check boxes on applications, just a history or work or grades, then I believe colleges and work places would have totally different types of students and employees than they do today.

    Remind me again, what's it called when people are treated differently because of race?
