The simple education for you my friend is some people don't think Black Lives Matter. Take time to reflect on that thought.

Yea lots of thugs killing black people those are the "some people" they only care if a whitey does it (rare occasion) .. but for me, all lives matter.

Mainstream media having been fueling this with their usual misrepresentations of Trump's briefings. I can't believe they can get away with this and not be held accountable for the damage they incite.

Thanks for posting. I saw the doctored version on Sky news this morning but hadn't seen the full monty.

The BBC pulled a similar stunt recently in which the VPOTUS seemed to entirely disappear as a result of their cut-and-shut process (Doctoring Trumps words to suit their narrative-Mike Pence vanished from the background as if he had been beamed up as per Star Trek! )

Ridiculous by  Fox.

His  written speech simply twisted  the reality.

Biden was  correct. Despicable!

Spout  the obvious  but  with  no indication  of any action to  bring about the humanitarian balance  the US  has  always  lacked but  deny and then to  suggest   that  a victim  is "hopefully" looking down in some twisted sense of  approval????

Is  Floyd  now elevated  to a  state of  martyr because  Trump suggests so?

No !  The  poor sod  died tragically and  unnecessarily because until the opportunist moment for an excuse to, in contradiction,  use that death to proclaim something unrelated to false political advantage is gross and insulting.

The more I see what is happening in the USA the more I despise it.  The entire statement "Black Lives Matter" is insulting.  Can you imagine if here in Thailand there was a movement that said Farang Lives Matter or Chinese Lives Matter.  It is a total contraction to the premise that skin color should not matter.  

In terms of the police and blacks.  In 2019 there were 29 deaths of citizens unarmed by the police.  19 were white and 10 were black. Hardly the portrayal the news media has you believing.  On August 1, 2015 while Obama was in office a virtually identical incident occurred where a white man seeking help not arrested was placed in handcuffs and a black police officer subdued him by placing his knee on the mans neck.  The man died.  No media coverage, no riots, no looting and the 4 officers involved were not even charged.  So much for White Privilege.

While that two-block section of 16th St. has been renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza on Google Maps, still wating for a a satellite update to show this new "statement".

 

Half-expecting ag barr and his little green men to paint over it, all in the name of "law and order".

 

 

They have no authority to do that and the mayor knows it.

More than a few, many millions and what of the non black citizens of America, what are they to think now? 

Not the brightest mayor, wouldn’t “all lives matter” be more inclusive?

Actually, I thought that was a brilliant move.  I think this was the same guy who rejected bunker boy's idea of having an authoritarian gov't style military parade as well.

Oh great - thanks for that conclusive proof that racism doesn’t exist. Clearly these protesters are just ‘overreacting’ right?

"All lives matter is so inclusive it obscures the problem.

 

My life matters but the police don't need to be told "Don't murder the old white guy".

That's not what they do.  

 

BTW the first time I posted this it disappeared. Off topic?  Offensive to a the powers that be or a favored member?   

[Cryingdick]

Good distraction to the reality of what is going to happen when the government checks run dry and guess who hasn't been going to work? They have now placed themselves at the complete mercy of the "man" they so despise. Wait until evictions start up again. 

 

The real fun can start when nobody has any money left whatsoever and they defund the police. On the bright side there have been record sales of guns. Sadly the reply to adversity seems to be buffoonery.

Well some of then certainly acted like terrorists. I wonder how many of the looted/destroyed businesses will not reopen in the worst affected cities, thereby denying both employment and local shopping to the residents,

For those Republicans and Democrats that peddle insurance against each other, there needs to be victims.

Anyone who understands the above sentence , understand why there are no real solutions from either side, but only problems that would be solved , only if we elected them instead of the other guys.  

Take charge of your life and stop playing their game!!!

I think the democrats should change their name to "Anti-republicans"  and the Republicans should change their name to

"Anti-democrats "   LOL

Apparently,  BLM DC Chapter was underwhelmed...

 

“This is a performative distraction from real policy changes,” they said. “Bowser has consistently been on the wrong side of BLMDC history. This is to appease white liberals while ignoring our demands. Black Lives Matter means defund the police.”

Thanks for the verification. Proof that the racism is all that matters to some/

We all make choices, some make the wrong ones, not my fault.

DC can't even afford the signs and paint at this point. Let's keep it shut down seems bright to me. There is going to be an ugly wake up about to happen.

One lives well and the other doesn't duh! DJT doesn't spend all day long making his life worse. We have all seen this movie too many times.The protests will either wane or become more intense and violent as money runs out and there is nothing left to loot. 

 

If somebody is funding it they will be outed soon. Places in the USA particularly liberal enclaves are resembling Venezuela now.

All lives mattering is blasphemy and you will now be summarily cancelled by a new culture that you clearly don’t understand. When the mob finishes devouring everyone with a dissenting opinion they will move on to eating their own who fail the social justice, virtue signaling purity test (which has already begun). Get popcorn and a gun if you don’t already have one.
