What is "Black Lives Matter"?

[Vigilant]

Institutional racism?

Would a law whereby selected races were discriminated against, or favored over others, be an example? Something like a law where only X% of race A can be admitted to a state institution in order to ensure Y% of race B is admitted to the institution?

Only works one way!

Completely, but I have yet to see someone's actual freedom diminished because of the above. I'd much rather give up a spot at a college rather than worry about harm or subjugation.

Well, if you would then that sure negates the whole national issue

Not sure if srs. Ya know, in recent months, there have been quite a few officers killed. I wondered if anyone would ever bring it up, but not a peep. I'm wondered, it those killings had of been related to BLM how quickly they would've shown up here.

i think a lot of them are directly related to BLM because of the excuses and mindset they've given people of all colors. They've painted a false picture of police and instigated violence just like the **** poor president has. If I was president BLM would have FBI SWAT teams hitting them from all directions and I wonder what they would find. Actualy I'm sure I could guess but it would be rewarding and get a lot of them locked up where they belong.

I think everyone should just play with their own clicks and not be forced to do anything. Let people hang with who they wanna hang with. Things work smoother when you don't mess with the flow

Maybe they would be happy with reservations like the govt gives the Indians? I mean seriously where does it end? How many hundreds of years do we need to listen to *****ing and excuses? If you can't hack the real world then get out the game

Well if the fascist way of doing things is how one is inclined.

Not so long ago, in a facebook debate with a liberal, she said she had no problem paying any taxes she's ever had to pay and would be willing to pay more (to go towards some SJW issue or another). Kind of the same thing, isn't it? The government deciding who wins, who loses, who goes to the front of the line, and who has to give up their spot in another all seems to be part and parcel to me.

But like I've said before, it seems we all have a government intrusion or two we like even if we are "small government" people. (Especially if that intrusion is on others but benefits me).

Well, yeah, affirmative action is institutional racism. But THAT institutional racism is encouraged by BLM.

Who is harming you? Who is subjugating you? There are laws against that you know.

Nothing comes to mind.

You....and me (of course) are the lone exceptions.

That is the singular most plural bit of goodness I will likely be treated to all day.

Can I join the club? I don't like me some gubmint too.

Your contempt still appears to have limits. Borderline IMO.

Your call, GFGT.

I want in too!

See, this is why "Individuals Matter" simply won't suffice; it always ends up as just another club with a group identity.

I'm abandoning the club (nothing personal, guys, I still like you) and "The Individual Matters" shall be my article of faith.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

And just like that...it's all over, before it even really began.

I think we just experienced a microcosm of the Libertarian existence.

Interesting how this thread has Energizer Bunny power and the OP achieved 'shooter' status for some reason almost 2 months ago.
