Brooklyn Blue and Black Lives Matter Protesters clash
wow, you guys are pleasant bunch, aren't you?
has anyone on this site even met a single one of these (in?)famous protesters or is your image formed by the totally-not-cherrypicked image of them the totally-not-biased media is feeding y'all?
i met a few, one of them stayed over last night after several days at CHOP...she's pretty tough
does the idea of living in a civilisation and culture totally built on murdering, systemic exploitation of the weak, rape of children and nature and that's forceful driving us apart for maximum "productivity" not make ONE person uncomfortable?
....also, what kind of piece of s**t statue "burns"? is anyone really making wooden statues
it appears you have fallen victim to the establishment propaganda machine
Sad!
guess what. "peaceful protesters protest peacefully" isn't going to reel in the clicks
= ad revenue
= $$$$$$$$$! !! !! !! !! !

The statue was lit on fire but wasn't fully burned,they must have used an accelerant or something,it was blackened but not consumed.
The establishment isn't really all that great but I have learned the counter culture is far more wicked.
They hate authority because they are so desperately narcissistic and self loving and authority is a threat to them.The world is a horrible place but the counter culture would just make it worse.

I think it is more likely for these people to copycat something from South Park, where Chef was protesting his rights and instead of lighting himself on fire, he doused a monk in gasoline and burned the monk.
Can we drop murderous police and the human waste who support their violent acts there too? You know, they're the entire reason the protests exist in the first place; why go after the symptoms when you can go after the cause?

But claiming 'all lives matter' is a lie. All lives can't matter until black lives matter.

Taking this to its logical conclusion no lives will matter until everybody believes and acts upon the idea that all lives matter. In other words no lives matter, never have and never will.
I do not think that way. I think all lives do matter and the fact that racists and others do not believe this and act on these beliefs does not change this.

The problem is that the media latches onto the issues they think are going to get the most people's attention negative news tends to do that. So Brutal racist white cops get recorded abusing their power because they think they can get away with it. Media makes a huge deal out of it. It leads to more controversy. they then send that to people who think since all the news they see are EXTREMES that most cops are like that. Which leads to resentment form both sides.
"does the idea of living in a civilisation and culture totally built on murdering, systemic exploitation of the weak, rape of children and nature and that's forceful driving us apart for maximum "productivity" not make ONE person uncomfortable?"
Yes it makes everyone uncomfortable. That's why imo people latch onto these issues. People can't deal with the fact that civilization is inherently screwed up at it's basis. and I doubt that's going to change human nature, which is to take advantage of the weaker party. That's the ugly truth and people do it all the time. The facts are society is flawed. People are flawed. And most people don't put much if any effort into actually making society a better place. Civilization is founded on the suffering of others. I'd like you to name a culture that are accepting of all people. Even aspies tend to bear prejudice towards NT people. Got any ideas? Here's the thing people don't like people who are different than them.

The society you are a part of doesn't agree that all lives matter.

The loudest members of society agree that all lives don't matter.
30% Say Black Lives Matter More Than All Lives
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe all lives matter when asked which of the statements is closer to their own. But that’s down from 78% when we first asked this question in August 2015.Thirty percent (30%) say black lives matter, up from 11% in the previous survey. Nine percent (9%) say neither statement reflects their point of view.
Sixty percent (60%) of whites and 61% of other minority voters put all lives first. Among blacks, 44% say black lives matter; 47% all lives matter
Fifty percent (50%) of all voters support a so-called Blue Lives Matter law in their state like the one in Louisiana that makes attacks on police and first responders a hate crime and increases the penalties for such attacks. Twenty-eight percent (28%) oppose such a law. That compares to 58% and 24% in mid-2016. A notable 22% are undecided.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted June 15-16, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
The popularity of the Black Lives Matter movement has climbed dramatically after days of protest following the police killing of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis. Black Lives Matter is calling for defunding police departments nationwide and channeling that money into more social services. But most voters are opposed to cutting their local police budget.
Those under 40 are slightly more likely than their elders to put black lives first, but most voters in all age groups opt for all lives matter.
Forty-six percent (46%) of blacks favor a Blue Lives Matter law in their home state, compared to 51% of both whites and other minority voters.
Republicans (68%) are much more supportive of Blue Lives Matter legislation than Democrats (41%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (42%). But then while 72% of Republicans and 58% of unaffiliated voters put all lives first, Democrats are almost evenly divided.
Only 26% of those who say black lives matter is closer to their own thinking favor a Blue Lives Matter law in their state. Among those who put all lives first, 63% support such a law, along with a plurality (48%) of those who say neither statement reflects their point of view.
Surprisingly, cops fare slightly better. Twenty-three percent (23%) of blacks – and 16% of all Americans – think most cops are racist. But 67% of Americans rate the performance of their local police as good or excellent.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of all voters continue to believe that most politicians raise racial issues just to get elected, not to solve real problems.
Only one poll but interesting results.
