Anyone who thinks the statement 'black lives matter' is racist, or is intended to make white people feel sorry for being white, has a fundamental misunderstanding of what the movement is about. Please, let me try to help you understand.... Right now, when you hear "black lives matter' you're interpreting it as "black lives matter more than white/blue/latino/asian lives", which is incorrect. That is *not* what the movement is about, but unfortunately many have been lead to believe this by people who want to delegitimize the movement. The correct way to interpret is: "black lives matte

BLM is a patriotic statement and if you can't see that 🤷‍♂️

Blue lives do matter. White lives do matter All lives do matter Please remember, just because we raise awareness for breast cancer in October, it doesn't mean we are saying that prostate cancer isn't also an issue. Just because someone says save the whales it doesn't mean Bing all the other fish in the sea. We should all support BLM. The issues of race or so multifaceted that you can't argue about black on black crime or someone will remind you that crime is local and the racist policies of the 40s-70s literally forced people to move to certain neighborhoods. Literally st

Agreed blorp... Do I want the players on the court holding pro Biden or Pro Trump signs? Nope. That would be upsetting. Will it bother me if they take a knee during the Anthem, not a bit. Kneeling is a sign of respect, but showing that something is wrong. Like when a kid gets hurt in a little league game we have all the other kids take a knee.

BLM and their cover statement of Black Lives Matter is fine. Problem with BLM is once you get past the front door. As someone born and raised in Soviet Union ... what they advocate and stand for is truly frighting once you get past the statement. Primarily of concern for me are their strong ties to Marxist communist idiology...having had a front row seat to this party first half of my life...I speak not of theoraticals. Founders of the movement personally verbalize this so this is not debatable. I have no problem with players kneeling...it's a free country (mostly still)...do what you got

BLM movement (as in, treat each other the right way - 100% agreed)...but the BLM 'organization'? That makes white people feel like they should be sorry for being white? Trash and a farce. That being said, I'm fine with 'political statements' as long as they are applied equally/not in a hypocritical manner. Example: I have no issues with LeBron James being vocal about social issues. Social issues exist. I get that. I see that. I hear that. Kneel, put something on your jersey, raise your fist...have at it, I have zero problem with it. Heck, my family left the Soviet Union due to social
