I have purposely not
Sep 9, 2020, 12:19 PM

Allowed myself to get overly excited about this BLM movement because agendas like this happen all to often and few are ever resolved to the everyone’s satisfaction BUT, now this one has found its way to the front page of sports, and Clemson in particular. I don’t understand why those few people who truly understand what is going on in this movement don’t speak out to those who really care. There is a news reporter who works for The Fox Network, I think, who has been vocal about BLM and it’s supporters but I doubt if guys like our own guys have heard his opinions. I read an article recently by Rob Smith who apparently gets it. I think we all are aware of the fact that this entire MESS has not been reporter correctly. If you haven’t read Smiths article you can find it on google I’m sure. TL certainly needs to read it, as do many of his team mates.

Rob Smith = Media Shill. no one should ever waste time with his writings. TL doesn't need to read that crap. He seems to be dg fine talking with his team and doing what his heart and prayers tell him to do.

You’re right. Him describing the BLM blacks who are currently rioting in the streets CRIMINALS really isn’t truthful. And coming from a black guy, would mean very little. Excuse my ignorance!

You post is cryptic...

You seem to have a problem with a "movement," but don't actually articulate what the problem is.
Everything I've read about Lawrence's statements and actions seems very positive; not sure why anyone would have a problem with them.

I assure you that I don’t have a problem with them. I do however wonder how many really understand this movement and its followers.

IF you have read this article you quickly saw that this Black journalist is recognizing the fact that this movement actually harms the black race And is not really a movement started by them. As the team leader, which I think Trevor is, that would be a good think to know and discuss with his team BEFORE they agree to have uniforms containing the BLM logo. Just my thoughts but I respect yours as well.

This appears to be an opinion piece
Sep 9, 2020, 1:06 PM

that has nothing to do with Trevor Lawrence, that I can tell.
It actually does say "Opinion" at the top.

It IS an opinion piece. It IS the opinion of a BLACK journalist.
I apologize for starting this thread. I often forget how ignorant I am and probably don’t belong on this “bored”,

I don't see where anyone has said anything negative about you. We're having a discussion.

I think the rub is what % of those in the BLM movement
Sep 9, 2020, 1:07 PM
|
|
are actually looters and rioters and what % are like traditional non-violent civil rights protesters?
I would think the violent rioters and looters are a small % who harm the objectives of the overall group.

I don't even view it as a "movement"
Sep 9, 2020, 1:09 PM
|
|
I just view it as a statement, and a statement with which I fully agree. How each individual chooses to express that agreement with the statement is their own choice, and I obviously don't always agree with those expressions.

The BLM movement is a large community with a broad ...
Sep 9, 2020, 1:09 PM

spectrum of thought and tactics. It’s not homogeneous or consistent. Seems many on the Right want to assign the most extreme attributes which includes criminal activity to the entire BLM movement. That’s inaccurate. Would it be appropriate to a say every person the Right promotes white supremacy or QAnon conspiracies? Likewise inaccurate.
Broad categorizations are often inaccurate _ and when paired with insufficient information and judgment can lead to prejudices. It is entirely possible, even likely, that most who support the BLM movement and most on the Right act honorably with good intentions and within the law.

“Alicia Garza, one of three co-founders of the Black Lives Matter national organization, has repeatedly talked about how convicted cop killer and wanted domestic terrorist Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, is one of her main inspirations. Susan Rosenberg, a member of the board of directors for the left-wing Thousand Currents group, which handles the intake of donations made to Black Lives Matter, is a convicted terrorist who, among other things, was suspected of helping Shakur escape from prison.”
[…]
Garza wrote an article for the Feminist Wire in 2014 explaining that “when I use Assata’s powerful demand in my organizing work, I always begin by sharing where it comes from, sharing about Assata’s significance to the Black Liberation Movement, what it’s political purpose and message is, and why it’s important in our context.” Garza has repeatedly tweeted approvingly about Shakur.”
–
On May 2, 1973, domestic terrorist Joanne Chesimard murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster before fleeing to Cuba. She’s still hiding down there; the FBI put a $2 million bounty on her.

I forgot Susan Rosenberg was pardon on Bill Clinton's last day in office and was released from prison.

[ in reply to Re: I have purposely not ] |

if someone says "black lives matter" then they endorse and approve of an organization with a co-founder who likes a guy who killed a cop 50 years ago?

I guess it's not a good joke if you have to explain it.
Sep 9, 2020, 4:29 PM

"Whatever you want, honey" is something I say very commonly. So if someone bad or mean were to start an organization using those words, I might have to stop saying them, or something.
