Seems like this Atkins needs to have their apartment broken into and ransacked. She must be a fantastic tenant.

I think whoever runs it blew the play. I don't know a single person who would argue against black lives mattering, but there are a whole lot of people who are going to quietly remove those yard signs when they find out that they're supporting an agenda that includes destroying property and looting stores.

Yeah I thought their position was unassailable but they now seem to be blowing it. This is Jussie all over.

The Movement is now redefining words like "violence" to suit its needs. That's some kind of privilege.

How is it defined now?

Now violence only applies to someone, not something.

Good to know!

So since they only pointed the gun and didn't fire it, it's not violence to carjack somebody. Although this story does sound kinda fishy, sounds like a way to cover up a gambling debt.

This has always been "the movement". A shakedown for reparations.

Looks like naked support for looting was a bridge too far for the average American.

Well it depends on who is doing what. When the police are doing things, it's violence. But when people in the street are throwing rocks and fireworks at police, it's protesting.

I looked up and down my social media feed yesterday and only 1 person came close to defending the actions of the looters and I'm confident she is a looter.

It’s just not a good look when this is the page I’m fairly confident she runs, or is closely affiliated with the content tweeted. Have a gander:

I would like to see a debate between this Ariel and Rev. Jackson on looting. No veering into other stuff. Just "is looting is ever acceptable behavior?". Because Jesse seemed pretty annoyed.

I'm aware. I'll probably keep making this point until my ashes are being spread somewhere. Nearly all of the people who carry BLM signs, wear the gear or chant it aren't affiliated with the actual organization. Black Lives Matter is simply a slogan to them. The actual organization is pretty much a small group of grifters who don't have a physical presence anywhere and can't even pay for a domain that they can use to send and receive emails.

Agreed.

but I've seen some prominent people using twisted logic about corporate socialism to arrive at the conclusion that looting is just retaking wealth owed (by Gucci or Nordstrom Rack?) to the people. That Ja'Mal Green must have a relative who is a producer at WGN because I swear he gets on TV anytime he wants.

Ok, can we get some NBA players who are putting slogans on their jerseys to say something? Wear a slogan and don't condemn looting... Seems like one can assume that they are ok with it?

The driving force behind the looting - and the justification for the looting - seems to be that the ringleaders are dumbasses. Their arguments don't stand up to the most basic kind of scrutiny. That being said, I think white collar crimes like massive tax evasion and kickback schemes in politics are as morally repugnant, if not more, and certainly more economically devestating. I wish they'd get as much discussion/attention as these dumbass looters seem to generate.

Totally agree about the white collar crimes. But thats not why a lot of today's national media got into the industry. Not enough pashun... Same as to why almost nobody in Chicago media will critically analyze Mike Madigan.

I understand your point, but messaging is everything.

Ariel Atkins’ speech about department store reparations is all over local media outlets. It’s only a matter of time before the right wing media does what it does with that kind of illogical rhetoric.

MANY don’t have the understanding you possess, and consider Ms. Atkins words as the gospel of BLM.

Burn him alive. I don't give a fuck.

No protest. Poverty made him do it.

The last tweet is true. We expect the blacks to act like animals. If a white person did the same thing it would truly shocking. whistler can back me up on this.

For the life of me, I live in a Black community, largely went to Black schools and most of my friends are HBCU graduates and the only discussions or even references to BLM I seriously hear are on this board and largely by the biggest pos (plural) who think that it generally matters to anyone except other bigoted pieces of shit like them.
