Not everything is a conspiracy man. BLM was created because they feel unjustifiably targeted by the police and government justice systems; this has stemmed decades, not just the short while Obama has been in office. You use him as a scapegoat whenever things go wrong, but guess what? Frontline police don't stand there and say "I wonder what Obama would me to do today".

Statistically speaking, it is generally this same group of people who tend to be more dangerous toward police and authority figures - Does that make ALL of them like that, not even close, however in a country where firearms are readily accessible and these same, and the lives of cops CONSTANTLY on the line, can you really blame them for something that they likely experience day in and day?

Maybe Obama simply understands their position, and yes, maybe they will become a problem larger if the situation is not controlled, but much like you, they simply do not trust that the government has their best intentions at heart, except Obama is actually trying to reach out to these people whereas you would hope he makes it worse.

I am no conspiracy guy, in fact I typically make fun of ax for it. However, BLM is directly funded by many differing Soros organizations. Very shady

First off, the guy killed in Milwaukee was a known criminal with a long rap sheet. He pointed a stolen gun at a cop and got himself shot. The whole BLM really kicked off in Ferguson, after another black guy committed a crime and got himself killed in the aftermath. I'm not sure why there's any sympathy or empathy to their plight of distrust of the government.

Secondarily, if you knew anything about Saul Alinsky, then you'd know why Obama reaches out to them. Obama is a radical from the 60's, and the only way he knows how to affect change is by use of violence or "overwhelming the system".

It likely is, but he has donated millions to other causes he deems worthy as well. Is it also possible that maybe he feels that what they stand for is worth fighting for? Don't get me wrong here, I am not a supporter of BLM because I understand how the media works - let's say 10 white people are killed by cops each day somewhere but it is not reported, but two black guys are killed and both are aired on TV under breaking news, and the following day 10 more white people are killed and 2 more black people are killed, but again the media focuses on the two black people, it starts seeming like they are unjustifiably targeting blacks, but that's because they made it seem that way. Not hard to do.

But again, when you take into account statistics (whether you trust them or not is another matter), the same minority's are disproportionately are jailed for violent crimes and account for well over 50% of total inmates (despite only representing a tiny portion of the demographic of the US), can you blame front line cops for being edgy? They have families as well, and given that guns are so rampant in the US, you can be shot for simply pulling someone over who happens to have a gun and not want to go to jail.

I'm not saying race tensions haven't deteriorated significantly since he's been in office, that much you cannot deny, but that is also fueled by "social media heroes" and not just Obama. It is MUCH bigger than that.

That's exactly what I try to say at times, but I just get frustrated as all hell LOL.

NOTHING is as simple as it seems on the surface. It's a lot more complex than some of these "news" sites imply. I think they want to put these grand, conspiratorial schemes out there because they are far better at grabbing attention than a historical and/or social analysis of all of the factors. Not only that, it's much easier ;)

Exactly. Conspiracy and hate sell much more copies of the newspaper than love and kindness do. Hate is a very powerful emotion, which is why you see much more complaints than you do of anything else. When people dislike something, they feel compelled to do something to get that changed, however when they like something it often goes unsaid.

Never trust any form of media straight from the outset, always question motive.

For the life of me, I can't see what is so terrifying about Saul Alinsky. He was about as "anti-establishment" as it comes, which is what Trump voters claim to love.

It seems perfectly acceptable for right wing folks to threaten revolution at every turn, but when liberals or people of color do it, it is anti-American, scary and/or threatening the very fabric of our democracy. What's so dangerous about a "fart in" or a "piss in"? Please outline a violent protest that was organized by Saul Alinsky solely for the purpose of violence. I'm genuinely curious here. Do you hate him for organizing downtrodden people to gain a voice in the political process?

In fact, Alinsky very much disliked the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground for their violent tactics.

Are you really comparing BLM to ISIS? ISIS is an example of religious extremism at its worst.

I have heard that the leaders are simply using religion as a means to an end, though.

I just don't see the parallels between BLM and ISIS. Please make your case.

BLM doesn't justify violence that I have seen. In fact, I have read the opposite.

After a little more research, it would seem that Coumadin (Warfarin) is used more often than Eliquis or Xarelto because the side effects are well documented. It's been around forever. In fact, there is a class action lawsuit about Xarelto and undisclosed or downplayed bleeding risks.

No, I don't. They are not in the public space. They are generally in a church. Duh :)

Now, if they weren't in a church and chose to assemble peacably on public property I wouldn't have a problem with it.

So you don't think people outside of church should be allowed to exercise the right to peaceably assemble?

Coumadin for treatment of a concussion...never heard of that one before lol. Do you have a source stating that a concussion which occurred in 1998 is the reason she is on chronic anticoagulant therapy? It just seems very hard for me to believe. Im no doctor...but i dont see why you would prescribe an anticoagulant for treatment of a concussion when in 2016 we still tell people there are very few, if any, effective treatment options for an acute concussion or post concussion syndrome. Maybe you should leave this medical stuff to someone who has gone through medical school instead of trying to play internet doctor on a patient who likely has some high end doctors managing her health?

sure...it is a constitutional right to peaceably assemble...it doesn't mean it gives them the right to infringe on others rights by blocking highways and streets and jumping on cars of motorists who are stalled in traffic while those peaceable assembler's act the fool...and often times it is not peaceful-ferguson wasn't peaceful, trump rallies have been less than peaceful, and milwaukee is shameful....there is a huge difference between a peaceful assembly and disorderly conduct.

I also am upset that it cost 1 billion dollars each=2 billion dollars of tax payer money to maintain order at the party conventions....

martin luther king led marches in the 60's that were peaceful and he made real advancement for civil rights while respecting the rights of others-I wholeheartedly supported king. king also condemned the black muslims and panther groups who advocated violence---and many believe that those groups were involved in king's assassination for speaking out against violence.....

if MLK were alive today and conducting peaceful rallies like those of the 60's I would 100% be behind it....king proved that you can achieve your goals in a non-violent manner...I don't know about you but I much prefer non-violence over violence and disorderly conduct.

Saul Alinsky denounced the Black Panthers and advocated for non-violent protest, but he is evil ;)

As he said in his "Letter From Birmingham Jail", "You may well ask: "Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word "tension." I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth." *bold added for my emphasis

It seems that he strived to create tension with his protests. They were very disruptive as well.

As far as streets go, do you think there was no disruption that resulted from the Selma to Montgomery march? I'm pretty sure that stopped some traffic.

There are multiple types of tension. When tension leads to violence, it is bad, and it is worse when tension is created by violence. If nothing else, lots of thugs and criminals are using BLM as an EXCUSE to commit crimes, loot, and vandalize. IMO, MLK did more to prevent this sort of violence than BLM is doing.

no argument on that...but jesse Jackson today is not the jesse Jackson of those days. I supported his rainbow coalition, and agree that with unity we can accomplish much more than with diversity. blacks and whites have much in common it's just that the differences are what is being emphasized.....I have always said that the only color that really matters is green--

this diversity is playing into the hands of the powers to be, the only way real change will ever happen is if the races are united!!!
