All Things Politics Thread

I wish there was a way to separate the sentiment of Black Lives Matter from the BLM organization. I’ve seen on social media other people support the sentiment but rebuke the organization. I know it’s my fault, but whenever I hear or see BLM I think of the organization and what they stand for and it infuriates me. I don’t think disagreeing with the organization makes me racist though. 

"I don’t think disagreeing with the organization makes me racist though."

Of course it doesn't!!!!  And I couldn't agree more on wishing there was a way to separate the sentiment vs the organization.  And the media, like all things, has done a fantastic job making sure we don't separate the two.  That's why they lead news of these random acts of violence with "BLM activist".  It works both ways tho.  It's why black people generally associate all Republicans/Trump supporters with being racist.  We all just need to take a step back and research and try to see things for what they really are to the best of our abilities. And stay prayed up!  Seriously ask God to guide our decisions...

My guess is intentional.  The rumor has long been that Biden, should he win, wouldn't stay the entire term.  Folks who I talked with expected him to choose Michelle Obama as his VP because of this.  Regardless the plan is for the Democrats is to "sneak" a woman in a president.  At least that's what I gather...

Here is some articles on Chauvin.  He had a history of being violent.  How he remained on the force is a tragedy itself.  You should read this article.  The only thing that is very apparent is his violence even at the nightclub he was a bouncer for.  The only racist thing I could see where the articles tries insinuate it by saying he went a HS that was mostly white.

Here is another article by a liberal newspaper that shows alot of the racist evidence was fake on social media.


Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis officer at center of George Floyd's death, has become subject of false claims on social media

Again maybe he is but we should look at the facts brother.  The evidence shows he is a violent person and shouldnt have been on the force after all the complaints.  That said I havent found any evidence of racism though.

Because she was so bad she couldn't even win the Democratic nomination on her own. The Dems/Biden had several women who were better than her they could have picked but they didn't.

Biden was only considering black females for the job. What happened to choosing the most qualified person regardless of race???

Since the media didn't report it, I thought I was the only one who caught that?  ?

Identity Politics.  I find this type of pandering insulting to whoever the pick is especially when they define the "must be" as female and a person of color.  Why not just say I picked the person I believe is most qualified and it is Harris.  Its degrading
