Showing Original Post only (View all)What people don't like is black people protesting against racism [View all]
at some point people should be honest and admit what they don't like is black people protesting against oppression and racism, and quit pretending that what they are sincerely against are the tactics used. Kaepernick used the quietest protest ever and people are flipping out, and BLM uses loud protests and people flip out. It's not the tactics that people are against, it's the goddamn message.
People should quit lying to themselves and to others.

Sadly, you are correct. I had to add several to my dust bin for comments made in an OP I did in GD.

I agree, but their disagreement is because they don't believe the oppression and racism EXIST.
