Gunfight at the O.K. CorralFollow

I was fishing for compliments for a while now. *blush*

Looks like a similar scenario played out in Baltimore. Only the shooter was downed, no civilians or cops or robots.

Thanks Obama.

I can't be, because I watch Fox News. Obama is just that bad.

It could potentially entertain Xsarus.

Other than that I don't know if there's anyone left who would even notice.

Of course I do. But the strip in question raises a completely different issue (focusing fire fighting efforts where this is no fire, rather than where there is). It's fair to point out that by focusing the issue of "Black Lives Matter" almost exclusively on "blacks unfairly treated by cops" while ignoring the far far greater number of black lives lost to other causes, they're doing the exact same thing that strip accuses detractors of doing. This has nothing at all to do with any assessment of the relative treatment of blacks by cops. I'm just looking at the strip.




Sure. Again though, by claiming a label of "Black Lives Matter", the organization makes it appear as though their motivation is based on, you know, Black Lives Mattering. Which, one would think, should involve some kind of assessment of what causes the most loss or harm to black lives, and focusing attention there.

If their group was called "Stop Racist Cops", then they'd at least be more honest about their objectives. But them, they'd have a harder time recruiting people, or gaining positive support in the media and by politicians, for the exact same associative labeling reason I argued earlier. We've seen them repeatedly use the label as a means to attack those who question their actions. So yeah, I think it's fair to point out that the label doesn't match those actions. Someone can disagree with the actions and agenda of the organization called "Black Lives Matter", without disagreeing with the statement "black lives matter". Because the agenda clearly isn't as simple as "black lives matter", right?



It should be. But unfortunately, even in the context of the issue of police interactions with black people, we tend to see less examination of facts, and more recitation of slogans and chants, and angry proclamations that anyone who doesn't side with them doesn't agree that "black lives matter" and should be condemned as a racist hater. Which I find to be a pretty cowardly tactic. Sadly though, it's one that works well in our politically correct obsessed culture.

I'm ok with your statement there.

On you on-board with mine that being a racist hater and refusing to publicly acknowledge that fact is also pretty cowardly?


Put another way: Do you honestly think that of all the people who don't agree that "black lives matter" none of then are racist haters?

The strip addresses the attack that the label "all lives matter" should be used as opposed to "black lives matter". The counter being that "yes, all lives matter, but right now, we're focusing on black lives". You're going into the argument of the existence of "black lives matter" (the organization/movement). That's not what the strip is addressing.

Until now, you still don't understand the purpose of the organization. It's about justice. When a black person commits a crime (i.e., attacks a black person), that black person goes to jail for a long time. Justice is done. When a white person kills a black person, it's the black person's fault. In either scenario, the perception is that black lives are disposable.

Thank you!

But hey, Trump is getting a large percentage of those five percents.

Yes, the fact that I posted a video dumbing it down for Gbaji to the teenager level will give you infinitely more credibility the next time you cite a Tweet from the Whitespiracy-Report saying that BLM protestors hired Zoe Quinn to murder Trump.

That'll make them less nervous.

Speaking of things calming nervous trigger fingers, police cruiser firebombed near a mosque in Florida and a "Black Lives Matter note" was found, and apparently an Oklahoma bomb squad is on scene near a Tulsa Air National Guard base where a woman is driving around with an "unknown device."
