A friend of mine (actually, a good friend of my wife) went off the deep end with BLM last summer. I had respected her as an intelligent, highly educated woman up until then, But it became kind of difficult to maintain that level of respect afterwards.

She was posting all sorts of **** daily on Facebook about BLM, and how the "All Lives Matter" response was a blatant attempt to trivialize BLM, blah, blah, blah. I made the mistake of responding about how "All Lives Matter" was not, in fact, racist, but that it was an all-inclusive view.

My comments were IMMEDIATELY dismissed by her because I couldn't possibly have an appropriate perspective on the subject "as an upper middle class white American male" (her exact words). The ironic part was that she apparently felt that she had the absolutely perfect perspective on all matters involving race as an upper middle class white American female. Such hypocrisy.

Then, the next day, she posted something from Huffington Post, an editorial or some such crap, about how ALL white people are inherently racist because they are white and privileged and "don't know what it's like" to be black.

And all I could think of was how MLK Jr.'s message of "I have a dream that one day my children will be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" in 1963 somehow turned into "all white people are racist because they're white" in 2016 by the BLM folk.

I'm pretty sure that she and BL would get along just fine.

You're friend is probably dumb, but you know why "all lives matter" is a ****** response to "black lives matter," right?

I don't care what color a person is, if I'm a cop going into a situation where someone has a gun, I'm going to be a little nervous.

We should probably reconsider our gun laws then, huh.

Lotta NRA people always talking about how more people carrying guns makes everyone safer. Maybe that's just bullshit?

well, the problem with gun laws is that the criminals don't care about laws. They're criminals. The people who care about laws probably are the one you don't have to worry about shooting you as much. Not that I'm against gun laws. I just don't see them making that much of a difference. Criminals will still buy guns and all the guns that are already out there will not be turned in.

I should state that I wouldn't get the near the hairy skinheads or grubby rednecks that BL posted if I saw them in Wal-Mart. They're young with guns. Probably a bad idea to interact with them. Almost positive the dude with Oreos is stoned. No thanks.

Could you quote the post where I said I shot young, black males during the STL riots?

If you're saying "black lives matter," you aren't saying "only black lives matter" or "black lives matter more." You're saying "all lives matter but our society doesn't act like black lives matter."

What's bullshit about that?

You seemed to imply earlier that it was perfectly rational for the cops to shoot Crawford for simply holding a BB gun.

Obviously all lives matter. It's black lives that have a problem.
