    OK, show me where BLM "leadership" has emerged in any of those hot beds.

    If you don't value black protests against racial inequality and police violence then that's on you.....In england a racist cult was exposed of ex rangers and white supremacists from the blm protests there.had been organized since the 1970s..here were seeing bad cops using unnecessary force...because of BLM you are made aware of it...without them it wouldn't make the news in your spectrum more than likely...it's got people in a basketball forum outraged and discussing it....it's stimulated a massive "we've had enough campaign in most major cities in the world" .....leadership is collective...free people come together without the need to follow a leader because at least here, we have no responsible leadership at the top. We don't solve it by shooting citizens, gassing them or imprisoning them. Listen to black people...Doc Rivers, Damian Lillard, Carmelo, any vocal advocate of BLM and you see the power of leadership and the result...as to me showing you this....it's all around you if you open your eyes and look. Have you noticed the jerseys and courts in the playoffs? You think that's a fluke? I don't know what white privileged bubble you are trying to maintain but wake up ABM....history is not on your side this time around.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Out of curiosity, does it bother any Trump supporters that Trump is still attempting to run as the "challenger," promising peace, prosperity and law and order if you just elect him to clean up Joe Biden's messes?

    I mean, I know nobody is stupid enough to fall for that, but does it bother Trump supporters that Trump needs to pretend that the last four years were someone else's responsibility and here's here to fix things?

    OK, then we'll just grass-roots-leadership protest our way out of this. Oh, replete with some extraneous looting, killing, mayhem, destruction going on on the side. Sounds like a perfect plan to me.

    I think he's just simply claiming to be the clear underdog as he's pretty much been under indictment, impeachment, and the the like by Biden and his cronies over the past four years.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Okay, you're dealing with his attempt to avoid responsibility for his own Presidency by making excuses.

    So I'll put you down for "No, it doesn't bother me that Trump is pretending the past four years happened under someone else's watch."

    You either take this seriously or you just don't give a shit...Killing going on on the side..? WTF does that even mean?...deal with the facts or go back to bed. Get a clue about racial profiling...start there..not property damage and crime but actual protests and repercussions of abuse...we have a criminal justice system that needs fixing. Start there. If you want to play around with this issue and not have an adult conversation about it....do that with someone else please.

    Got it. You do just that. Meanwhile, I'll keep watching his accomplishments add up.

    "Accomplishments" that Trump is ascribing to Joe Biden and is promising to clean up if you'll just elect him in November.

    addressing the issues and representing my vote for necessary change....calling out white privilege and dishonest leadership...I can go on but I've been clear about my opinions....but this isn't about me...it's about the future of my family and neighbors..

    Without getting into it, yes, I think he's had to undo a number of their messes. Plus, he's had a number of other accomplishments in his own right.
