My view is always to look at it from the angle of "you catch more bee's with honey". I think it is dumb to criticize BLM in the way most do. Booing them, stupid. Saying they are a marxist anti-capitalist group, factual but also dumb. Trying to tarnish the name of this woman, maybe not dumb but certainly a complete waste of time.
Totally against racism, it goes against common sense and logic for one reason, it is simply the pigmentation of the skin that people are so worked up about, and as I've said many times, people are people (I've used the hospital/blood tests/being wheeled down for ops example a good few times)
I disagree with your take that being angry at BLM being given such a voice is dumb though. Isn't it educated to read up and find out about groups we are told we should be supporting? And they are a divisive and nasty operation, or at least those at the top espousing their beliefs are. They are trying to turn into a political party, fine, that is their right, but I am not dumb for being against an angry, poorly represented, Marxist, anti-capitalist group, I am educated in politics and pride myself on being exactly the opposite of dumb on such issues.
Kick Racism Out and other organisations on the other hand, I'd applaud all day long.
The woman doesn't need others to tarnish her name, she's done it. Shouting at a black man, what she was shouting, because he dared have another opinion, was enough, without the other junk she espoused. I'd actually loved her to have had a valid voice, a great argument and helped politicians etc to form a plan of what needs doing to help the communities she was saying she represented, including tackling the growing gang culture and how to give those communities the true feeling of worth and that there are opportunities for her.
(Not offended or having a go at you for your post btw, we are all entitled to our views on these things, but that did strike me as an odd take really)
Booing the players taking the knee, I agree, I don't believe that to be right, it just inflames the situation.
I can't comment on catching bees, I like to let them live free and pollinate the plants.
