Black Lives Matter has done more to harm race relations than anything else in the last 50 years. This response to the Floyd killing has been so over the top, and destroyed so many lives and jobs and urban communities that it has erased any good will that existed after the events in Minneapolis.

Your totally earnest concern for the "urban communities" truly warms the heart.
 
I think it's terrible that organizations all over the country are putting the word "Police" on the sides of buildings and cars, when the Police Movement has done so much harm to race relations and destroyed any goodwill that existed after we watched "Cops".

“What we are seeing happening right now under the guise of “eliminating racism” — the destabilization of society, the protests, rioting, looting, burning and killing— are not spontaneous, grass-roots events. It’s all thoroughly coordinated by those at the top of the Black Lives Matter / Media cabal.”

You know you can ignore a viewpoint when it not only alleges that there's shadowy "cabal" aided by the media but that actually the most oppressed group of people in the nation are running it. It takes effort to be this ignorant.

Ignore it if you wish, but Black Lives Matter has destroyed thousands of black businesses and black neighborhoods across the country. Seventeen people have been killed by the protestors, including a black cop who served his community for 37 years. Motorists have been attacked on freeways, innocent white people have been beaten and shot at, windows broken, stores looted, public monuments vandalized, and on and on. America is watching, and most Americans are horrified by the random and senseless violence. The behavior of BLM is not changing racial attitudes—it is reinforcing them.

That's a solid case of you projecting your own beliefs and prejudices on "the American people."

Polls show widespread support of Black Lives Matters protests and varied views on how to reform police

About two-thirds support the recent Black Lives Matter protests over police brutality and discrimination in the US, and there's agreement on a wide variety of proposals on how to reform the nation's police departments, recent polls show.

A Kaiser Family Foundation poll out Thursday found 64% of Americans supported the recent protests against police violence, including 86% of Democrats, 67% of independents and 36% of Republicans. Support for the protests is seen across racial lines, with 84% of blacks, 64% of Hispanics and 61% of whites in support.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found 67% of registered voters supported the protests as a response to "the death of George Floyd at the hands of police."

The killing of George Floyd last month sparked protests nationwide over police brutality and racism against black Americans. A Pew Research poll from last week found 67% of Americans support the Black Lives Matter movement.

According to the Quinnipiac University poll, a clear majority -- 55% -- thinks the protests will lead to meaningful reform. That includes 76% of Democrats, 53% of independents and 34% of Republicans.

Widespread support exists for the protests and movement as a whole, and a majority support each proposal suggested in the Kaiser Family Foundation poll, with a few key partisan differences.

More than 9 in 10 (95%) support requiring the police to intervene and stop excessive force by other officers and 89% support requiring police to give verbal warning while shooting. Another 76% support requiring states to publicly release disciplinary records for law enforcement and 74% support allowing individuals to sue police officers if they were subjected to excessive force. Around two-thirds (68%) support banning officers from using chokeholds and strangleholds and 52% support banning no-knock warrants.

ignore it if you wish but White privilege has destroyed hundreds of thousands of black lives if not millions and controlled them with whips, chains and ropes....killed children and raped their women who they bought and sold on the legal slave market......white supremacists have looted and burned and attacked innocent people to blemish the integrity of the BLM to the point that BLM protesters have had to shield police officers from white people who were beating them to death.....the looters and arsonists were bused in to start race wars and confront black people...get woke and learn to open your eyes to a generational rising up of a people who've had enough racial profiling and won't take anymore....get woke...here you get the cops called on you if you are bird watching and black.....white people are exercising more ignorance in face of this movement out of pure fear of losing their generational privilege.

Sometimes, violence is necessary. MLK Jr was peaceful and got killed. The Gay Rights Movement didn't start til the gays fought back against the police at Stonewall in 1969. Sometimes, you have to FIGHT to get the appropriate attention your cause deserves. When people are angry, things get broken, people get hurt. That's just the way it is. Blacks have been murdered over and over and over again by police. Eventually, there has to be a breaking point. Have you ever gotten so angry you broke or threw something? Now multiply that by a million and have you the BLM riots, etc. I'm an American and I am not horrified. I'm horrified by the murder of George Floyd and yet that wasn't in your post at all.

Nate McMillan said today that we should just say make America Great because for black people it never has been great. There's no "again" in their American history ….I'd love to see some of these white pride Blazer fans try to talk this trash to Dame or Hassan or Melo....I'd pay money to listen to that conversation. Cowardly to bash the BLM movement on a basketball site in my view...Dame and Nassir and Hoodie were all protesting with the BLM marchers.....so was one of the forum's only black members...dviss...

Oh, Lord. Get woke yourself. Slavery ended over 160 years ago, and there’s not a single American alive today who ever owned slaves. There’s also not a single black person alive who ever was a slave. Millions of white American men died fighting to end slavery, and thousands ran an underground railroad to get them to freedom. There is no other country on earth where blacks have a higher standard of living or more opportunities. That’s why blacks and other minorities want to immigrate here. And while you’re at it, get woke to the fact that ninety percent of homicides in the black community are committed by other blacks. That’s the real tragedy in all of this. But instead of focusing on that, and trying to solve the real problems that affect the black community, It’s much easier to rise up and blame your problems on a few bad cops, who use that stupid neck hold on criminals of all ethnicities, and actually get shot or killed more often by black Americans than any other ethnicity.

What a racist, privileged stupid post.....I'm woke. I'm proud of the challenge presented to people like you...you would never say any of these things to any black Blazer player ...admit it...you would not...you hide behind your anonymous moniker here and throw stones...the next generation of the world will remember this time in history hopefully for the right reasons....I have Lakota blood on my grandmothers side...wounded knee was not 160 years ago....neither was the slaughter of thousands of Chinese miners at Bloody Run Creek....our history is full of genocide and horrible oppression in the name of white supremacy

Yes, you’re woke. Give yourself a hand. You have bought the p.c. nonsense hook, line and sinker. But if you’re interested in the real agenda of BLM, check out what one of their leaders in New York said about burning down the country if they don’t get their way.

I don't read skinhead websites.....and you won't talk to our black community about these phony beliefs you propagate either.....I think your posts should be mailed to the Blazers front office and reviewed....you want your news thread out there, right?

It wasn’t in my post because it didn’t need to be. All Americans, including me, were horrified by the Floyd killing. I can’t even watch the video because it turns my stomach. I hope they put the cop who killed him away for life.

But thanks for calling me a racist. That’s a favorite trick when people aren’t capable of mounting a real rebuttal of your argument.

It's nice that racists and people too blinded by white entitlement to know what's going on with race in America have such a consistent identifying phrase.

What kind of “entitlement” is it when you consistently overlook the truth in favor of the politically correct agenda?

I'm not sure. Can you elaborate on what the "politically correct agenda" is?
 
To be fair.... the boomer generation has killed everything in this country. On so many levels.

If I were part of that generation, I’d probably wear a diaper at all times and plead ignorance and/or dementia.
 
Fuckin wow.
Just wow.


Slavery ended 160 years ago aNd that instantly made everyone treat each other equal from then on aNd there were no oppressed people from the second slavery ended right?

no kkk existed or lynchings ever happened after slavery ended ???

Just to remind everyone of the big picture. There are several things that make the legal system evil, but only 1 is getting attention. If you survive through 1 hoop, you still have the others.

1. police tactics, in both rules of engagement and paperwork games
2. prosecutor tricks, and a defendant lawyer's conflict of interest to maintain his own high pay
3. ridiculous prison sentence lengths for non-newsworthy crimes
4. harmless victimless crimes, like certain drugs, romantic talk, etc.
5. the media's 1-sided coverage (#1 above recently slightly changed...temporarily)
6. the mafia of police unions, and the ranking of Police Chief above Mayor
7. secrecy and non-transparency: refusal to answer the media's questions
8. the 100 million Americans living in terror to not speak out, including reporters

Only 1 and 6 are confined to police. One lawyer has just as much power as a policeman to destroy you. So does a newspaper owned by a rich family who hide behind their hedges (double meaning intended).

I would put on a Tommy Bahama camp shirt and flick cigarettes at people.

Oh wait, was doing that 10 years ago

No, each cog in the machine supports the others. For example, if the media rode herd on prosecutors, who are one of our several covert governments, the other points would improve.
