I don't fool myself into believing I'll change the elephant's mind. I'm just exercising my free speech to say, "Hello."  We didn't have a civil rights movement because people ignored the problem.

Some of the people involved in the BLM movement could learn a lot of lessons from the nonviolent civil disobedience of the civil rights movement. From the six months that I was on Facebook, most of the stuff I saw from family and friends where I grew up about BLM was thinly veiled racism or just plain ol' fashioned racism. My wife read my feed and was like WTF. I explained that's what it is like where I was raised. It's one of the main reasons I got out of there. So in my personal experience with friends and family when someone is upset because it's called Black Lives Matter and not All Lives Matter it is because there is something going on there they won't admit to unless they are around friends or family. I'm not claiming that is true for everyone. Just among a great many of the people I grew up with. 

When someone gets on here and claims all black people in all black communities all want free stuff and it is bred into them; then I know exactly who and what I'm dealing with based upon growing up with them. Being raised by one. I'm not going to look the other way and pretend I'm not seeing what I'm seeing and hope it goes away. Not gonna do it. 

Meh...
Sorry that it came off that way to you.

I get what you're saying and agree with your Facebook assessments.
I am still on there and made a post calling theses kinds of things out, today.
Some may think it somewhat "tin-foil",  but here it is.

" I see a lot of posts on FB concerning the Milwaukee shooting, BLM, and riots.

Don't buy into the sponsored campaign of division.
Division is control through misdirection, giving you a pool for your daily disappointments to gather, far away from the cause that is big government.
The political division narrative is/has been falling.
The seeds of racial divide have ramped up and fertilized with money from people who do not have our best interests in mind.
Do not "pick a side", at least not one of the two provided (much like our current presidential election).

Let us view the big picture.
Let us have dialogue.
Let us change culture.
Let us be United."

Followed by this video....





So.... maybe that played into my post here.
