Jury Convicts Arbery Killers of Hate Crimes
The jurors decided that the three men previously convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery were motivated by racism.

More than 1,700 congressmen once enslaved Black people. This is who they were, and how they shaped the nation.

Black Lives Matter stands with Jussie Smollett after verdict, but Don Lemon does not

Well, at least the members of BLM and Trump supporters have something in common.

Could have also put this in the What Makes You Laugh...HA!

Black Lives Matter is still standing with Jussie Smollett after the actor was convicted Thursday of staging a racist, homophobic attack and lying to police about it.

Black Lives Matter calls for month-long boycott of 'white companies' during the holiday season to support 'Black Xmas' and end 'White-supremacist-capitalism'

Not particularly impressed with Black Lives Matter. That said, I fully support the notion that oppressed visible minorities have an inherent right to hurt their own.   Maybe BLM would like to bring Robert Mugabe back from the grave to help make Black people in North America suffer? 

The BLM trash in Toronto recently got involved in a debate that saw the Green Party of Canada implode.   The spokesperson for BLM (Canada) expressed support for the anti-Semitic ethnic cleansing of the Holy Lands. 

Fellow anti-Arab terrorists in North America should rejoice at this source of political support for a greater and more glorious Israel with its lovely discourse of cultural superiority.

After that, it is hard not to think of BLM Canada as just more vocal racist trash.

“It’s an allegation as old as America — a sex-crazed Black man accused of attacking a white woman — and it came in Shelby County, the jurisdiction with the most recorded lynchings in the state’s history and a disproportionate number of death sentences.”

That is not my point.

You cannot have a meaningful conversation without first agreeing on definitions used in the conversation.

Conflate away and prevent a meaningful discussion from happening.

I give up.

I understand your point entirely. Which is to state that the US is not racist by definition, so any marginalised groups should either shut up or leave.

The issue here is to get everyone on board, including marginalised groups. All of the semantic bullshit going on between members of the dominant culture as to whether they or their systems are racist or discriminatory under their own definitions and which definitions apply is all well and good but is not going to do anything to get marginalised groups on board, if all you want them to do at the end of the day is suck it up and shut up anyway.

It gets worse when the institutions are designed to be fair and equal but are demonstrably exercised in ways that are not. Then your credibility is shot so you can talk till you are blue in the face.

Not very helpful.
