[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3470608, member: 66082"] Now we go from BLM which has a narrowly focused simplistic goal of police reform in various American cities in how they treat black Americans, to people who oppose BLM. And who are these people? They overwhelmingly are not black, they aren't the police in those cities or places where the protests are taking place, they don't live near any black people nor do they live in the places being targeted for police reform. So objectively the goals of BLM have no impact on their lives not one bit. And yet they never ask themselves why are they actually mad at this movement? They never bother to read history and see what was said about previous civil right organizations in comparison to what is said about BLM. If they did, they'd find the exact same criticism of BLM, anti-cop, anti-American, communist, hurtful to race relations, etc are the same criticisms that all effective civil rights organizations have faced in American history. But I always come back to the same question for the opponents of BLM, why do they care? they have no skin in the game so to speak on this issue at all. [/QUOTE]
