BLM is concerned ONLY with cops harassing, brutalizing, killing, slaughtering blacks.
BLM is an anti-COP movement, not an anti-crime movement.
Coming to an observation that while on different ends of the political spectrum, the people who get outraged over killings by muslims aren't much different than the group they also seem to dislike, the #BLM faction. Crimes only matter when done by a particular group.
When a white guy kills a black guy, BLM is outraged.
Whenever a black guy kills a black guy, instant reaction from the other side tends to be "where is BLM now?"
When a muslim guy kills a white guy, right wingers are outraged. religion of peace again LOL
But when a white guy kills a white guy... shrug.
blm only cares if the shooter is white, other side only cares if the shooter is muslim. IMO these groups should embrace each other as they are mirror images.

blm's main focus was bringing attention police brutality and the systematic racism that is rampant in police departments across america. some of the officers who participate in these practices are non white. most recently, several of the cops that played a part in freddie grays death were black and blm voiced their displeasure in how the case was handled. so i have to disagree that they only care if the shooter is white.
so BLM had nothing to say about Dylan Roof? or other black churches burnt after the election? i'm calling bull
i believe they did have something to say as the crime was demonic, calculated and rooted in racism towards african americans. african americans are victims of racism to this very day and i don't think there is anything wrong with a group expressing their anger towards a hate crime.
bull is as bull calls.
where was the outrage from alt-right/KKK/Breitbart about Dylan Roof?
i don't think there's anything wrong with that, either. i was just pointing out that BLM isn't "just about police" it's about black lives in general, contrary to boo-boo's point
i dont even get what you're arguing anymore. a second ago you said BLM only cared about police misconduct. that's simply not true. i'm not saying that's a good or bad thing. just that your claim was wrong.
BLM arose due to so many pics, videos showing police brutalizing, killing blacks, NOT because whites have been killing blacks for 100s of years.
i'll tell about crime. you should be shot in the head if you drive without a license/registration/insurance.
Shot-In-The-Head. all colors, mostly all colors
this isn't really aimed at any particular political stance... the media only blows up when there's a ratial/ethnic element to it, regardless of which media outlet it is. they might focus on different demographics, but that's their MO regardless
this had been a pretty obvious trend, but i rewatched nighcrawler the other day (awesome movie) and there's a scene where they discuss this very concept, and just wanted to hear thoughts on it, instead of getting on tangents with booboo
Black KKK is a payola scheming, big-nonprofit that helps no one and has massive coffers they haven't put to use.
You sure are selective with what "big" whatever the you pretend to hate and with what you apologize for. I bet you're anti Komen Cure for Cancer, but only because BLM hasn't gotten their garbage scams licensed to the NFL and other outlets so they can continue to donors while the Board members keep pockets fat...
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Glad you're finally admitting it. Now how long until it dawns on you that BLM is just another paid "protest" movement brought to you by George Soros?
Do you check under your bed for George soros every night?
BLM = fighting the norm (norm being black males being the largest demographic per race capita killed by police). It doesn't matter why they were killed, just that they were killed. Since it's the norm, perhaps the rest of America sees it as ho hum just another day.
The muslim issue: Fighting to keep the norm (norm being that Americans aren't systematically killed by religious zealots from another country).
It doesn't matter if the victim is black/white/purple... if they are killed by terrorists we treat it all the same, whereas BLM only cares about black lives that are ended in a way that can be sensationalized as victimization by authority or establishment.
The two aren't the same regardless of what you think you learned from the movies.
One could ask you the same question except you live with your parents so they probably check for you.
Didn't learn anything "from movies." The dynamic of selectively sensationalism isn't new. Was just reminded of it by a flick.
But there are similarities in the selective element. Murder only newsworthy if perp is Muslim
You conveniently ignore my points to hit the slow pitches. Then you reiterated your false claim.Didn't learn anything "from movies." The dynamic of selectively sensationalism isn't new. Was just reminded of it by a flick.

So is it a "newsworthy" issue or an "other side" issue? You moved the goalpost.
I don't blame the entertainment media. Some people just enjoy getting pissed. But it does clearly point out one's inclinations. And it does lead to some interesting social studies.

Also we have branded certain kinds of crimes that involve an ethnic or racial element as hate crimes.
I am also interested in the number of TV shows that brand fathers of any color as impulsive and in need of learning a lesson. I don't watch them very long so I can't say how many episodes revolve around this theme, it just seems very common. Then the adds about how important fathers are and big bothers/mentors for boys. Strange stuff.
How much pushback before things get evened out?
You figure we need about 100,000 random targeting of cops to get even?
OMG...
The king of screwing with the kicker...
I honestly don't recall any marches protesting Dylann Roof. Boutons is right that BLM was born out of a reaction to perceived police brutality against blacks. "Having something to say" about general murder/vandalism targeting blacks is relevant but not at all the focal point of the movement.
What it's born out of isn't necessarily the same as what it's all about.
