Apart from the fact that the organization is a front for communist theology. The founder of it has said she is an avowed atheist and communist and wants to overthrow democracy and replace it with a communist state.
When Antifa was declared to be a domestic terrorist organization, BLM should also have been classified as another terrorist organization. Or at the very least an insurrectionist organization. And all its leaders should have been arrested, along with all the Antifa thugs.

But President Trump seems to have lost his nerve just at the point when he needed to be strong and courageous, and he has definitely surrounded himself with Deep State traitors instead of loyal patriots. Therefore the ring leaders of all the treason and sedition in the USA have not been locked up. And that was the key to bringing all this ugliness to a halt. He is watching the enemies of America working daily towards the overthrow of the government, democracy, and the rule of law, yet he is standing by at this critical time.

That seems backward to me.

All lives matter. When we say, black lives matter, and that this is "stand alone", that is in itself racist, singling out one group of people because of their so-called 'race'. The thing is . . . we're all the same race.

How exactly does "all lives matter", that is, acknowledging that everyone is valuable, how exactly does that take our sight off of the life in front of us?

I think "racial healing" begins with, well, I like what Morgan Freeman said . . . "I'll stop calling you a white man, and I'll ask you to stop calling me a black man."

That's how we eliminate racism. We stop focusing on it. We stop such nonsense as "black lives matter", as if people need to be convinced.

Why aren't you supporting the unarmed white people killed unjustly killed by police, even black officers?

Singling people out because of their color is racist, no matter who is doing the singling, or what color.

So do I support BLM?

No.

I believe All Lives Matter.

Much love!
Amen to that, if only people could see, every time we separate a group we create racism.

At the end of the day we are all human and when one truly understands humans nature, then you will find out that all people are prejudice and racist or what ever.
Anyone who makes claims about that they are going to stop racism or prejudice is a total ignorant fool, because they don't understand reality, they try to make up Laws, but in their ignorance they will accomplish noting at all, because they are a blighted curse for not truly understanding the subject truly at all.

You do not see anywhere in the Bible anything about racism being a Sin in fact, but nowadays such is demanded as a grave Sin ! above all Sins :rolleyes:
I ask why is it so now ? well it's just a trend and it comes from Socialist peddling just another one of their great lies of delusions, Equality !
If one bothers to put such equality under the spotlight you will find their is no such thing in reality, it's all a deception, a utopia and a great blight on all.

How does a society deal with prejudice ? well it's a natural human reaction in fact. now lets say we found the cure ? and such people who had such a Gods gift removed ? what would they truly be in fact ? would such be a gift or a curse to one ? lets say the one born without this facility, how would they go in life ? I truly don't think that they would survive, I am sure that the Human race would never of survived without such a facility at all.

But to come down to todays world, it still would be a blight on one not to possess such a facility, because such a one would be a dolt.

When one first meets a stranger one always has some prejudice towards such a one regardless. would you welcome just anyone into your home, do you posses a front door, why do you bother to have a door ?
When one walks out you home and into the street does one walk along blissfully, with no regard to yourself of any harm, a group of shady people are coming your way, what do you do, avoid them. or driving your car do you disregard stop signs ? the sign is for safety.
I may try to avoid some people, only because I may end up even killing them.

Look at all the atheist Socialist they are blighted morons ! they can even proclaim that they reject Sin, reject the Devil and the power of Satan. are they on drugs ? or is that possessed !

One has no hope of doing any truly worthy thing if it is not done in Christ Jesus in fact and we start with getting a handle on Sin as a foundation for all the worlds problems, outside of that is mans works blighted dribbling ego driven insanity ranting on with such nonsense, that only fools will swallow.

As you say about one claimed to be Singling out one for their colour could be prejudice or could be Racial Prejudice or it could even be the Truth as to such a one in fact.
If we make Laws singling out people for their God given freedom of speech you are doing just like Hitler did and all the Communist dictators did, this creates a State that fears the Law and creates hatred, but that's what Satanist want because such people are easy to control.

We have a weak spineless generation before us now, who will complain about anything, Oh I had to do X, Y and Z it was degrading for them but many other people do such everyday in their line of work. now does this person give a cracker about them who do such work, not on your life ! they look down on them in fact for doing such. I have seen it ! Oh they want the red carpet treatment for themselves. they want the Air-con office drinking cups of tea as they despise all who are below them. such got nothing to do with colour at all what so ever in fact but the human condition of Sin.

One person may come across as the nice person but inwardly that one is lining you up for whatever devious intention they may, I have seen that a thousand times and then you may have another person who comes across as a harsh and maybe potty mouth type who has no intentions of taking anyone for a ride, but may be peed off and have no time to accommodate such cunning stuck up toffs, because he knows only to well who and what they truly are and does not give them any airs and graces because they are vermin in fact. nothing to do with colour or race but if the shoe fits, end of story.

Wrong !

The Tribe of Israel started of exclusive as Gods people.

One has to truly respect all Tribes and Nations and Cultures. within that a racial person may know and understand and respect the difference's.

Being racist may not be prejudice at all but knowing and understanding the differences and one may not like or look up to all such but respect their ways and don't go about demanding them to change to suit you, like we see with the new age Cultural Marxist Socialist and their intentions on everyone in the world to become enslaved under a Satanic system that works to destroy everything that a human was or is.
Socialist only divide and bastardise all under their Satanic ego driven madness, threating people to do as they say or else.
It's They are evidently of Satan trying to mislead all with all their cunning works.
Hell the Marxist openly reject God for a start ! and they have a thousand idols that they look up to. Be carful of their works.

The only difference between a black man and a white man or any other race, is the color of the skin and what they call them selves, We are all human under the skin.

Morally you are correct. But culturally we are all different. Even between various white folk. There's a big difference between the cultures of the white folk of Massachusetts and those of Alabama. Just as there is between those of Australia and New Zealand. There's difference between the cultures of black Americans and black Sudanese... And black Somali etc. What we need to do is recognise those differences, accept that there are differences and they don't need to be exorcised from anyone, and those differences are in fact what make us all unique and special. Here in Australia there's a suspicion and prejudice against immigrants, particularly Sudanese based on the bad behavior of some gangs of late. This is as much a challenge as Americans have with regards Hispanic gangs. Black gangs. To safeguard ourselves from generalising and become prejudiced against a people, we need to love even those in gangs. Whatever their colour, whatever their goals and ambitions, whatever their cultural backgrounds. Even BLM.

One only can become predjudiced when one starts looking at the differences.

Do you realize how stupid that sounds? This is called virtue signaling. Standing up against evildoers is not an expression of prejudice, but a defense of those who would be harmed by them. The leaders of BLM should have all been arrested and imprisoned. And because this was not done, they are running rampant over the rights of others. When there are anarchists and insurrectionists working against a country, the best love that you can show them is to lock them up.

I agree. No argument. Criminals deserve to be dealt with. But that's not what were talking about. This thread is about racism... Not criminal activities by gangs who should and ought to be dealt with by the law.
I'm talking about how to combat racism... And being a human failing that goes back 6000 years we can't pretend it doesn't exist and even we ourselves are susceptible to it. Both as victim and perpetrator... Regardless of colour. I'm no liberal... Just telling it like it is and sharing the gospel... Love your enemies.

No, one becomes prejudiced when he pretends there are no differences. When you see the differences but you love anyway... Pretending my wife isn't brown then saying I love her makes no sense whatsoever. The same goes for you and your Asian neighbor, and African down the street, and the mob of Aborigines in the outback.
The exact same thing goes for accepting others religious persuasions. What you don't see is that there are people who hate and people who love on all sides of the political, racial, and religious divides. The sheep and goats, the wheat and tares aren't being divided on the basis of whether you're conservative or liberal, Democrat it Republican, labor or liberal, black, white, yellow, red or brown. Babylon and spiritual Israel will be divided on one issue. Love. Love for God and love for neighbor. Love that loves despite the differences... Not love that pretends there aren't any.

Most of us have been discriminated against for some reason; age, size, gender. accent, religion, nationality etc.. So I don't support the BLM movement but I am not racist as my mother taught me that all people matter whatever their skin colour.

I truly believe that black lives DO matter, ALL black lives, as do the lives of ALL people everywhere, but I recently read a disturbing article about the BLM movement which makes me wonder if there is a political agenda behind the movement.

Do all black lives matter?

Nonsense !
What is it now 41 Genders the Satanist are claiming and not to mention they can claim to one thing one day and something other the next, that is an art of deception in deed.
Now what if I start to have a true look I may see the difference is truly only two Genders in fact.

Prejudice is pre judging someone or something, such is not a Sin in it's self at all. as how does one know if they do not understand the facts of such a reality, but if one truly does have a handle on such, why or who is it that is trying to create deceptions as to the reality of the facts ?

Look X says that a Nation is fundamentally flawed because for one they do not possess Christ Jesus in their lives, so they will fail or not reach their full potential as Gods people. now is that a Sin, for saying such, is such a statement Prejudice ?

That's an interesting point Reggie. If one compares the Latin American Nations which are predominantly Catholic, with the north American Nations which are Protestant, and then ask which one would you rather live in after comparing the poverty levels... Political corruption etc... Is saying I would rather live under a Protestant administration in a Protestant nation racist or religiously bigoted?

The idea that it's wrong for police to go after black citizens just for being black, is what makes BLM go. And it's why BLM is supported by a majority of Americans.
How Public Opinion Has Moved on Black Lives Matter

Racists are cross-eyed with fury over it, but it won't matter.

Some time ago, a friend emailed me about a white shooter in a large city. An unarmed (black) security officer tackled him, saving who knows how many lives. He was still trying to get the gun away from the perp when the police arrived. They killed the security officer.

I responded "If I was black, I'd probably be angry all the time." He cited Baldwin's comment that to be an aware black man in America meant one is in a constant state of rage.

And then I thought to myself; "why the (bleep) am I not angry?" My friend (and former colleague and neighbor) is black. His son used to watch my place and water the gardens for me when I was out of town. He has to worry about his boys and explain to them how they can do everything right, and still have some racist cop kill them for nothing, and tell them what they must do as a black male in America to reduce that very real possibility.

These are my friends and neighbors and fellow Americans at risk for no reason other than the color of their skin. Yes, I'm angry. And we need to put an end to it. Millions of others like me, that's why America supports BLM.

I don't see it as protestant or RC.
Bigots are one sided.
