    considering blm is pretty open to many persuasions then that would be easy to infiltrate.

    The FBI is very skilled at infiltrating organizations. Ask McVeigh, but he's not here anymore.

    Did I say the founders were FBI? I don't think so.

    Do you know the difference in meaning of the words "found" and "infiltrate"?

    Don't know what that is. I'm not a sports guy, but I think sports should be sports. BLM doesn't want EQUALITY, they want SPECIAL TREATMENT
    I'm not a fan of special treatment for ANY group
    Look at these ridiculous demands, you expect me to take this group seriously?
    1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

    2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

    3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

    4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

    5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists *********, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

    6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

    Then the racism dial somehow finds a way to get turned up even higher. Helm, while making several stereotypical and offensive claims, urges white people to “get a racist fired.”

    “White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the f*** they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too,” reads demand number seven.

    And it continues, this time with mention of “lil’ d***-white men.”

    8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ d***-white men will all be returning to work. Get they **** fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

    Demand number nine encourages the use of violence when getting supposed “racists” fired (emphasis added):

    9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

    10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

    It is only viewed as such when people are so self-absorbed in their own beliefs that they refuse to see the other side of the issue. That is called bigotry. So which is worse? A bigot or a racist?

    You are applying YOUR assumptions as to their reason for booing. You are not even willing to consider THEIR reason for booing. I would be willing to bet that if you bothered to asked those that booed, their reasoning would be less about racism and more about honor and respect of traditions....the NA....and the flag. It is a bit narcissistic to create a reason for the booing based on YOUR thinking and then slander others under the guise of that false reasoning.

    Why would they need to "infiltrate" a group lead by "Trained Marxists" ( their words not mine) who adore the leader of BLA who is hiding in Cuba due to being a ****ing terrorists?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assata_Shakur

    In 2015, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza writes: "When I use Assata’s powerful demand in my organizing work, I always begin by sharing where it comes from, sharing about Assata’s significance to the Black Liberation Movement, what its political purpose and message is, and why it’s important in our context."[238]

    Just one quote of many that you will ignore or attempt to downplay.

    because they don't have a choice! If they are being told "kneel or be labeled a racist", they are most likely gonna do it. I would too if it meant not getting a paycheck.

    As we have long suspected, the real lie was that democrats shed their racist skin. They just buried it deep. And now, we're seeing it's resurgence. Creepy Joe uttered the "monolithic" black meme just recently. It's the tool of choice for the discerning racist democrat.

    No, I will neither ignore nor downplay what you've posted. I will accept what you've posted as being accurate.

    As I've already said, I accept the spirit of BLM, but would certainly expand it to include ALM. It is true that racism has always been present, and it goes both ways. There are white racists and there are black racists.

    As to trained Marxists being part of it, I don't really care about that. It does not make me happy or sad, I simply just don't care.

    I accept also that fascists run the US government. There is nothing I can do about either situation.

    I couldn't tell what you meant here. Are you applauding that this player stood up to the power of political oppression perhaps?

    You were doing so well until that last sentence. We see both sides of the political aisle throw out the term "fascism", "communism", and "socialism" and I truly think that nobody really understands what each of them are or stand for.

    The core traits of fascism are:

    desire for dictatorial power
    forcible suppression of opposition
    strong regimentation of society
    strong regimentation of the economy

    People like to point at Trump and scream "fascist". But which side of the political aisle is more likely to: support the "cancel culture"? Or to ruin the lives of someone because their beliefs to not conform to their idealistic view of society? Or to publicly shame someone for using words that they feel should be banned from society? Or to protest and riot when they want to force a change in society? Or to prevent people that do not share their views from speaking at colleges? Or want to abolish capitalism?
