"I think it's because Black people in general have a hard time with money," Cullors said. "It's a trigger point for us."

Good grief…

Great, just the sort of thread we need right now.

We could always talk about how shit we are right now, if you like?

I think there's enough sh!t in the world right now, without dragging up old guff

It’s not old, or guff for that matter. We’ve been bending the knee for two years now in honor of these ********s. There’s always been shit in the world, time to call out some of it for what it is.

No, we've been bending the knee to protest against racism, not to honour an American political organisation. This really has been covered a huge number of times and I'm surprised that you are still confused (but good to hear that you've been bending your knee.)

Amazing isn't it? Although not quite as amazing as lasvegan suddenly developing a sense of outrage at financial irregularities

Racist or what!

He's not really outraged at financial irregularities. He's using thinly veiled racism to pretend to be outraged by it.

Money and corruption isn't a "black" thing it's a people thing. I'm willing to bet more white people have been corrupt with money than black.

And as stated, taking the knee is a protest and a raising of awareness.

I don't know if he's racist pr not - but he seems unable to distinguish between the BLM organisation and the concept of black lives mattering.

Well that doesn't read well does it.

I'm not saying the article is incorrect but looking into the Examiner and it would appear to be a right wing, climate change denying rag.

So, pinch of salt required.

I think it was common knowledge, without starting ANOTHER thread, that Black Lives Matter as an organisation was iffy, to say the least. However black lives matter (lower case) as a movement is to be applauded.

Two vastly different beasts and should never be confused or conflated... unless, of course, one has an agenda.

I’m case you don’t know the difference between the movement and the group, see the link below. Taking the knee is do with the movement not the group.
