DEBATEif BLM has place in society?

I think you're missing the context to which that name refers. The number of black USAmericans beaten or killed by members of their local constabulary is much higher than that found in other ethnic and racial groups in the USA. It suggests that, as far as these police are concerned, they treat black suspects as if their lives didn't matter. So, in that context, "BLM" makes sense.

And it's only three words — a slogan that people can remember. A phrase that accurately described the purpose of the organization and had no element of ambiguity would have been cumbersome. "Black Lives Matter and It's Time to Recognize This" wouldn't have been that catchy. Why don't you see if you can come up with a better name for the organization which reflects the goals of the movement?



That's a really poor description of fascism. You neglected to mention belligerent nationalism, militarism, state capitalism, centralized authority, or one party government and instead just use the word as an all-purpose insult, completely ignoring the historical significance of the political movement.

In the US we have constitutional rights guaranteeing free speech and freedom of assembly. That means that any group that people want to join "has a place in society".

I happen to disagree with you characterization of Black Lives Matter. I believe that was a group with a needed message... but that whatever leadership needed failed. BLM has lost popularity drastically in the past year (probably because they failed to distance the group from violence).

But it doesn't matter. There are real Black Supremacist groups like Nation of Islam. They have a place in society. There are White Supremacists groups. They also have a place in society.

In a truly free society, you can prevent people from joining whatever group they choose to associate with.

BLM is the largest lland holder in the US. We used to graze 500 shep on BLM land in NM.

You do this on purpose, now a couple members are going to be searching for Black Lives Matter grazing land, or they will just pass along the story of how wealthy BLM is.

Remind me to tell you sometime about my Sara Palin/Michael Jackson fantasy story I posted after getting pissed at all the morbid attention that occurred when she resigned as Governor and he died from irresponsible medical care.
