Originally posted by EdgeOfAddiction I understand the heart of BLM but due to the time we live in with social media fueling more than explaining, BLM will slowly morph into an extremist ideology. Also, latin and asian lives were lost. RIP to them as well. Same place as those who think it's ok for further murders to take place because black lives are fed up. A stupid tit for tat mentality.

Nvm, troll.

Originally posted by Desert Rain Why are y'all arguing with someone whose mind cannot wrap itself around the idea that BLM isn't exclusionary yet proclaims to be a minority themselves. Are you black EoA? If so the self-hate is real?

Originally posted by Sunshine. He's asian. But yes, I agree with you. That's why I'm not engaging him. Anyone who thinks that addressing an issue with specificity is "exclusionary" clearly doesn't know (or care?) about that issue. What's the difference between #AllLivesMatter and #StraightPride? Nothing. They're both tools used to dismiss the gravity of an issue.

Originally posted by St. Charles That was his profile picture, though.

Media: Uses a picture the killer voluntarily put up in a public platform, Facebook profile pic at that, as you say.
Black lives: Media will use the most threatening photo they find just to put us in a negative light.

Just because it has happened in the past doesn't mean things will continue in that direction. But supporters of BLM are so intent that media has it out for them that they pre-judge and jump to conclusions. Yea, both parties have been and will potentially continue to be guilty but it's up to the ones who really care about change, as whole, to act and shift away from that sort of attitude. We can't all be just talk and say, "who cares, they're gonna do it anyways so we can say and do what we want!"

How about we don't assume that the media will use the worst photo possible. How about we don't assume the sniper was black. How about we don't assume anything and just try to make change happen ourselves.

If you guys are truly outraged by the ideology of senseless brutality and murders, we should not be dividing ourselves by race. We should fight for change that can be upheld by law. As Bey did: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Black Lives Matter ‏@Jazzy_Belle__ Micah Xavier Johnson is a hero in my book! @b_lasalleperk RIP MICAH XAVIER JOHNSON...for taking your own stand against the injustices...though your STAND wasnt PEACEFUL.i feel you brother @PAYPayola__ Micah Xavier Johnson did what plenty of people have been wanting to do for years!! Killing those officers isn't justified but WELL deserved! @tresavagefoe Shoutout to Micah Xavier Johnson for doing what we all wanted to do. @IamSmokeahontas Do I condone Micah Xavier Johnson decision to take matters N2 his own hands? No! However I can't say I don't understand his emotional state @WhosMackieMarsh RIP Micah Xavier Johnson. I'm sure you thought you were doing the right thing. Centuries of oppression can do that to a man.

Originally posted by Nialler The amount of praise and support he's getting from some black people is really sickening. They're all part of the problem. If you condone innocent cops getting killed as revenge then you're not better than any of those vile cops accused of murder.

Awful.

But yes, I'm "[o]ne of the worst users of atrl" because I abhorred this revenge killing and said BLM is slowly stirring up more trouble than necessary.

Notice the users who are attacking me the most. That is what I'm talking about. Being extreme just because I disagree with the overall execution.
