Balbus, That is quite the general statement, there are no posts above yours, it is like your point is pointless when you point a general finger at the non existent posts above yours. On the previous page however, who exactly isn't being complex, rational or reasonable enough for you exactly? Maybe they are being too complex, too reasonable and rational to meet your complex statements. I have made some very valid points as has jetstoned, psymon, Orison, and yes you have too, even though we disagree and you are misguide, especially with that pew reference
Yeah, I abandoned this thread a long time ago. It's a joke. Keep your sanity and walk away. Some people just can't be reasonable.
You know... I thought better of you than this. It's been bothering me all day, and I just thought I should say something to you about it. You've obviously been here a long time. I consider you like a moderator... I don't recall whether you are one or not, but it doesn't really matter. The example you set for younger members is an abomination. You have many friends on this forum. But I think they should call you on this. It's not right. Sorry.
Lol they leave this thread, some announce they are leaving when they have no way of disputing facts and/or resort to personal attacks. Then there are the ones who say they are leaving but continue to comment personally about people's opinions that drove them away after they Personal attack. Pretty funny. Then there are ones like you asmo who contribute nothing other than accusing people of being trolls for their opinion. You are using troll like people who toss around racist. In places it has no validity.
Yeah I gave up when someone claimed people who disagreed with him in this thread did so because he's old and white Just..no

White supporters of Black Lives Matter, listen up! Here are BLM's list of demands for all white people: Now, go make like a good pawn and hand all your assets over to the fringe organization Seriously, these people remind me of Veruca Salt "I want it now! I want it now!"
It is much easier to spread division and hate than it is to gain sympathy through the understanding of complex issues. Rather than look at the deep seated socio-economic factors behind the racial problems in the US they prefer to highlight black people attacking white people with the aim of stoking white grievance. Now some people spread this kind of division and hate because they are frightened or because they don’t have the ability or inclination to gain understanding but others know exactly what they are doing, they actually wish to spread hatred and cause division. It’s hard to tell which is which but the first should be pitied the second despised. The first is irrational because it isn’t based on reason or logic the second is rational in that it has an agenda - it is trying to use the ignorance of others to spread hate and division, because it thinks that by dividing it can rule. I’m glad to see that most people here find this kind of white grievance bating rather repugnant and stupid, however as said I fear that it is much easier to spread division and hate than it is to gain sympathy through the understanding of complex issues. PS: I wonder how long it will be before one of the dividers comes back with the school yard ‘no, that you that is’ That it is the ones that are trying to heal division that are the real haters and racists because they (overtly or covertly) hate white people. The problem is that many of those that are calling for understanding are white - now I suppose you can call such people ‘race traitors’ as others have did in the past about white people that where against those other injustices of slavery or segregation.
Race traitors? Who are these race traitors you're talking about? Historically speaking, the race traitors have always been the "uncle toms" that've broken free from their shackles and ran off your socialist plantation of broken dreams and political promises. http://www.dailywire.com/news/20156/black-lives-matter-leader-pens-list-10-demands-amanda-prestigiacomo
6 Ok it is pretty well-known, for example – I was a young lawyer in the civil rights division at the Justice Department in 1981 when I first encountered Jeff Sessions. At the time, Sessions was the new U.S. attorney for Alabama. I met him while I was handling a major voting rights case in Mobile, and I relayed a rumor I’d heard: A federal judge there had allegedly referred to a civil rights lawyer as “a traitor to his race” for taking on black clients. Sessions responded, “Well, maybe he is.” J. Gerald Hebert , Washington Post Are you OK, you’re sounding a little out there? What history are you talking about, can you cite the books you are using?
Ah. So it's an extremist off shoot. According to the actual BLM website, the Louisville "chapter" isn't even a real chapter of the organization. I guess it's another example of people hijacking someone else's message and brand for their own personal gain. I hope BLM speaks out against this woman. Because of they condone this, then they just lampooned themselves. They'll never be taken seriously and their message, as legitimate as it actually is, will be swept under the rug and forgotten.
