    More of that “fringe” behavior here, obviously:

    If you want to spin it that way I guess you can take the comments out of context and do so. 
    I think it was a galactically stupid thing to say, in any context.
    I'll agree with you in that it isn't the best time to speak truth and facts when race is involved. 
    Oh... so you think he was actually presenting the truth?  I see.  

    You might also want to take a look at this:

    https://news.northeastern.edu/2020/04/16/000-people-in-the-us-are-killed-every-year-in-police-shootings-how-many-are-preventable/
    It's fact that there are many circumstances in which police officers would be legally justified to use lethal force in which they don't. Especially now that we're living in a culture of noncompliance.

    Yes, they are definitely the party that doesn’t believe in things like science or facts.

    Over amplifying fringe opinions is a great way to create unnecessary rage.  Keep it up, guys.

    It pains me to say this as a black woman, but police brutality is also fringe behavior that generated unnecessary rage and look at the shiit show it created, so you're 100% correct. 
    Wes, Buddy, when did you crossover?

    Reading is fundamental.  From the linked piece:



    Guys.
    I posted this, halfway in jest, because of the quote from that article. They are all ridiculous.
    I'm glad you recognized the satire.  I'm not sure some of the folks in this thread have quite caught on to that yet.
    I did recognize the satire. Seemed silly and I'm sure that the quotes pulled for the story were the most ridiculous they could find.

    It is defined as existing before the war referring to the Civil War. The architecture style is reminiscent of deep south plantations. 
    I would not be surprised if there isn't a ban on that type of architecture from this point forward.

    Well since this one is sunk, I just got told that 50,000 protesters are being shipped into to the town that I grew up in this weekend. The local protesters have been relatively peaceful so far so I guess that they had to import some pros.

    Yikes, hope they do not destroy your town.  Stay safe and avoid them.

    Also, I was informed that a lot of the pro-protestors are infected with COVID-19.  The first wave did not destroy our economy enough, so they are using these "protests" to ramp up the spread and overwhelm our hospitals on purpose.

    The BLM movement is just a cover for the true goal.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    Well my folks moved out of town a few miles in the 80’s . Only one brothers-in-law works in town and I wouldn’t miss him. I actually live 100 miles away but my crippled 85 year old mother called me to tell me about it. I doubt Professor John considers her a credible source but I do have to listen to her.

    So you are saying that you agree this is just an idiotic move, but that it does not represent what the "movement" is about?

    I mean that makes sense. But at the same time, apply that logic both ways please. This movement expects us to only focus on the overall message/actions that are being made and ignore the fringe actions. Yet, they are only focusing on the fringe actions of the police/white people. 

    On top of that, they assume any time a white wrongs a black it is racism. Yet when a black wrongs a black or a black wrongs a white it is not representative of the group. I mean the hypocrisy is palpable. 

    I don't know of ANYONE that condones the manner in which Floyd lost his life. It was truly appalling.  SO IS the negative treatment of anyone as  result of race. But getting rid of police, torching neighborhoods, and blaming white people/culture/police is ridiculous.
