Do you understand why black men would have signs that say “I am a man”?

But they aren’t ignored. If anything, we hear more so about the trials black people face.

When you respond to someone who says “blacks lives matter” by saying “no all lives matter” you see ignoring the emotional content and their point. It not the same as the conversation you posted but you are aware of that

EXACTLY!!!!! This is why its offensive. Because it insinuates that a significant % of society doesn't agree.

Thanks for making my case Ewing!

I might could get on board with this statement... if only the curtains were pulled back a little further.

As for laws, you can assume that a law disproportionally affect certain races, and indeed it may. But the law itself is not racist. However, the race that breaks said laws may be disproportionately represented.

So you think special/Joey are pretty solid examples of non extremists towards their views?

Why would you be offended by the way someone else feels?

I’m like the farthest thing from extremist in my views. Everyone feels like their views are accurate though.

I find the more you say everyone else is just fooled by popular culture and mass media the more centrist you are

We need to do away with all statues and all signs and locations that commemorate people in any way.

Yes, nothing they've said in wrong. Your problem with what they are saying is that those who are far right say similar things but then take it even further... that's what makes them far right. Joey, FNK ect haven't taken it farther (that ive seen) youre just assuming they believe it but wont say it.

I think you misunderstood. if you go back and reread youll see that the statement "black live matters" doesn't offend me at all. I just think its redundant because... of course black lives matter.
