You've shown this stuff ad nauseum. This has NOTHING to do with the fact that BLM has done good AND bad things (see me recent post, above), and that the Woodson Center has, as well...DESPITE your efforts to paint them otherwise. The posts I've made in this thread are current. I have no desire to go backwards with you on this, John. Save your keystrokes.
How can you start a thread talking about profiting from family grief without pointing fingers at MORTICIANS!!!!!!!
The operative word, if you will, is much. Again, see my positive post regarding BLM in this thread. Yeesh.
Republicans have supported the use of body cams. This should get approval by a wide margin in a bi partisan way. I'd like to know the delay.
Look, for the record, I'm not against BLM as a whole. I just don't believe they are the end-all to needed change. I alluded to the Woodson Foundation because I think they are doing a credible job of eliciting vision/change from within. That said, this is not an end-all approach, either. It's simply another approach. One that shouldn't be disregarded, bashed, nor squashed just because they come from a different place from that of BLM. Robert Woodson is a fine man with valiant intentions. Anyway, here are a couple of links on the man, and what he's doing... https://www.iwf.org/2021/02/15/bob-...matter-1776-v-1619-and-solutions-to-violence/ https://nypost.com/2021/05/31/a-message-for-black-parents-and-other-commentary/ As for the Black Lives Matter movement, perhaps the stepping down of Patrisse Cullors will prove the be a good thing, while also enabling the movement to get back to the business/accountability of their original goals and intentions. https://www.ebony.com/news/the-cont...-cullors-and-the-black-lives-matter-movement/
Say what you'd like, but it's all still relevant. I applaud Bob Woodson & Co. for taking issue with it all.

I do not. I quit watching ALL news. This happened to come across my general news feed (CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. are delivered that way, as well.). Does that make these latest revelations within the organization any less credible?
What's your point? I post news articles from many sources. Besides, what's that got to do with the content here? Are you denying there are issues going on within the ranks of the BLM organization?
All large, loosely knit organizations have dysfunction. It’s usually down to competing agendas. Look at how the Southern Baptists are going to war with each other right now. I’d LOVE to hear your take on that (fully expecting you to to bob, weave and dodge as is your habit). I’m not sure the word”compromise” is even in the dictionary anymore. We can cast blame for that in multiple directions but that doesn’t solve the problem. America has reached the “me, me, me” tipping point and it’s eventually going to destroy this country (hell, we’re already at least halfway there). But I think the frustration so many of us here have with many of your posts is that you only focus on an extremist groups of color, while giving a pass to white extremist groups (Antifa doesn’t count. We’re ALL down on those morons). Every organization has it’s issues. It’s all about how competing agendas politicize those issues. Shouting usually produces more results (mostly bad) than calm, reasoned discussion. So who wants to be calm and reasoned……? And anyway, like it or don’t, BLM has produced far more positive results for this country’s future than the Southern Baptist Conference or the Proud Boys. Those two organizations, along with their ilk are a ball and chain around the ankle of America and we aren’t going anywhere good until we deal with it. Just sayin’……..
ther are issues within the ranks of any organization there is. It’s why they have human resource depts. there’s fighting amongst the proud boys and huge issues within the ranks of the Catholic Church and the Republican Party but for some reason you’ve chosen to highlight a “black” organization to throw stones at. Not a good look. Try looking into white corruption and you usually post “the jury is still out on some white politicians criminal behavior. Parity is apparently not something you practice with your bookmarks
You've never seen my links I post from CNN, and such? Perhaps you need to pay a little more attention, Mr. Global Moderator. But, whatevahs.
It's just that I doubt very many would have expected BLM to go down that path. They have been touted by many as, perhaps, the sole source for change/redemption, etc. Certainly not this type of internal activity. I hope they get things worked out. Millions are counting on them to lead.
Nothing wrong with link ABM posted. Here is a link saying something similar in the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/04/us/black-lives-matter.html It just fits ABM's greater point in that it's better when white people run the groups for black people like the one he supports.
