    The rioting will be short and bloody. There are over 300,000,000 guns in the U.S. mostly in the hands of Whites.

    So cruel.
    We all know how the African American is suffering from prejudice from the whites, so lets make it up and help break the cycle of poverty they are stuck in.
    Every town and city that has a job vacancy, no matter what it is, has to offer it to an African American on welfare first.
    With Trump taking office soon and the deportations beginning there should be plenty of gardening, cleaning and fruit picking jobs available, and when they are, Black Lives Matter members should be given top priority.
    It's only fair. :clapping:

    I wonder what actions you would take if white men are shown in real time being killed during traffic stops in front of their wives and children for the crime of driving while white.

    BLM hurt Hillary pretty bad so I doubt that we will see a lot of politicians backing these thugs.

    Simply because you don't see blacks rioting as disruptions.

    Kent state was government murder upon the citizenry as was Hoover's crimes against the Black Panthers.

    Funny how the right wing applauded that while condemning the government's action against white supremacist criminals Gordon Kahl and Eric Rudolph.

    Dunno about anywhere else but BLM was nowhere to be found here in the Twin Cities during all that shopping.

    Him and every other landlord in existence. Lawyers literally go around and randomly sue for discrimination. Where I work we were sued because we're on multiple top lists to work for and they wanted a pay day. Threatened to "expose" us. African Americans that worked for us were getting calls from lawyers asking if they've ever felt discriminated against. They were hunting for settlements. Pure scumbags. We
    made them go away though because our lawyers were far far better than those bottom feeders.

    Fine. I hope they do. It'll just go further to marginalize their organization. Most American's don't like BLM "rage" tactics anyway & they're sick & tired of the racial hate culture they represent. So, let'em scream & stomp their feet all they want. America is ignoring them at this point & just moving ahead. It's to bad they've chosen the course they have, too. They actually have, at least in some cases, some valid issues IMO but the way they've decided to voice those issues isn't going to solve anything....in fact...it will set their cause backwards.

    Arrest them for violating the rights of law abiding citizens trying to engage in their private lawful business. Throw the book at them then give the names to all the merchants who suffered loses so they can sue the heck out of them.

    As long as it is in liberal run cities, I don't care. Trump will deal with them.

    This seems like a recipe for disaster. Black Friday is bad enough...

    They had a weak demonstration which fizzled out early.

    They probably had to go shopping themselves. Or maybe they heard they were missing out on a good fight at the nearest Wal-Mart over toilet paper, who knows.

    Seems like their entire cause has fizzled.

    Probably mainly due to the DNC and Left media having no further use of them since the election season has passed.

    Also the fact that more and more people started to realize that their entire platform was little more than a Black supremacist hate-game movement thoroughly laced with racism, crime, murder, and violence in general.

    Here's hoping they are dismantled by legal action and society outrage so that we can then move on to breaking up their more established cousins such as the SPLC, NBPP, NAACP, and so on.

    You know, I hadn't really considered that, but you could be onto something. BLM really didn't affect ANYTHING - and deep down, they know it.

    - or NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, the NYT - there's scores more.

    I knew from the start that BLM would be done after the election, made a prediction or two about it somewhere on this forum.

    Now I don't know if BLM's inception directly involved the DNC or the Left media but its painfully obvious that those players brought it from the status of being just another random radical Facebook hate group to an internationally recognized label and that they did this because it propagates their race narrative and their singular issue when it comes to Black votes which is: be scared, be angry, Whites are coming to get you.

    And I'll go ahead and make another prediction for 2018 and more 2020.

    The race pimping and hate game tactics we saw this past election will be nothing compared to what the Left will launch come midterms and the Presidential election.

    It would be an all out dog fight like we've never before seen.

    I'm predicting there will be more rioting, more hate crimes, and more police deaths as a result of the utter race war that the Democrats will have to launch in order to literally bully enough people into going to the polls and voting Democrat out of pure terror.

    Michigan Avenue protest urges boycott, awareness of police misconduct
    Michigan Avenue protest urges Black Friday boycott, awareness of police misconduct
    For a second year in a row, protesters marched down North Michigan Avenue calling for a Black Friday boycott. The protest, organized by the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, also denounced the city's planned Civilian Office of Police Accountability on Nov. 25, 2016.

    Protesters attempted to stop holiday shopping along parts of Chicago's Magnificent Mile for the second consecutive year, urging a Black Friday boycott to demand civilian oversight of city law enforcement amid high-profile police shootings and continuing neighborhood gun violence.

    After organizing early Friday near the old Water Tower monument, as many as 200 demonstrators peacefully marched on sidewalks under a heavy police presence during an effort to block several Michigan Avenue storefronts on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
    Activists focused their attention along a five-block stretch just north of the Chicago River while chanting, "No justice. No peace," and "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Rahm Emanuel has got to go."

    Video: Protester, shopper face off on Michigan Avenue
    A protester and a passerby face off during a rally along Chicago's Magnificent Mile urging a Black Friday boycott to raise awareness of police misconduct toward minorities and other inequalities in the city's poorest neighborhoods.
    The demonstration failed to gain the momentum of last year's Black Friday march, when a massive crowd of approximately 1,000 people shut down some retailers and halted traffic in the heart of the city's famed shopping district.

    The earlier protest came just days after the city released police dashcam video capturing the fatal October 2014 shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald by a white Chicago police officer. The 17-year-old was shot 16 times as he appeared — with knife in hand — to be walking away from police.

    Friday's protest followed three fatal Chicago police shootings in the past week, including that of 19-year-old Kajuan Raye. Police fatally shot Raye in West Englewood late Wednesday.

    Many demonstrators also spoke about the fatal police shooting of Joshua Beal earlier this month in the Mt. Greenwood neighborhood. Beal's mother, Tiffaney Boxley, thanked participants for their activism.

    For the second year in a row, protesters rallied along Chicago's Magnificent Mile urging a Black Friday boycott to raise awareness of police misconduct toward minorities and other inequalities in the city's poorest neighborhoods.
    "We have a long fight ahead of us," she said.

    This year's rally was planned by a network of groups that includes the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the local chapter of Black Lives Matter. Organizers said they wanted to draw attention to a range of issues, including police treatment of minorities and economic inequalities in West and South Side neighborhoods plagued by gun violence, struggling schools and poverty.

    But their main target was Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his new police oversight agency, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, which protesters argue falls short of their call for a civilian-led council to investigate cases of alleged police misconduct. Activists carried signs that promoted their proposal for an elected police watchdog group, the Civilian Police Accountability Council, or CPAC.

    Demonstrators, gathering weeks after the divisive U.S. presidential election, also voiced their opposition to President-elect Donald Trump.

    They locked arm-in-arm, formed a human chain and tried to keep shoppers from entering the Nike, Apple and Victoria's Secret stores, while police officers formed their own competing wall of bodies to usher people through.

    Some minor scuffles broke out when shoppers tried to enter stores by pushing through lines of demonstrators, but the four-hour event was largely peaceful.

    Some onlookers even snapped pictures and carried on undeterred with their shopping.

    For the second year in a row, protesters rallied along Chicago's Magnificent Mile urging a Black Friday boycott to raise awareness of police misconduct toward minorities and other inequalities in the city's poorest neighborhoods.
    Police reported no significant problems, and said three arrests were made for charges including trespassing and resisting arrest.

    There also were a few lighter moments, including one outside Saks Fifth Avenue when demonstrator Calvin Jackson chanted, "Go home. Go eat turkey!" at would-be shoppers. Officers could occasionally be seen laughing with demonstrators and some passersby made a point of delivering high-fives or handshakes to police at the scene.

    "For some, it's about the police; some it's about immigration. It's just all the people who are not (Trump supporters), and they're afraid," said protester Barbara Lyons, 79, of Jewish Voice for Peace.

    "It just upsets me what kind of world my grandchildren will grow up in," she said.

    Los Angeles resident Kirby Shaw, who was in town to visit his sister, decided to join the demonstration while taking in the sights along Michigan Avenue.

    Shaw, 23, said he understands some will not be happy with the message to boycott Black Friday, but "for one day of the year you can not buy things and support your local retailers and help make a difference."

    Can you explain why racists are the only ones who ever talk about a Race War.
