BLM teaches kids racism

[sam_gordon]

So says a grandmother.
https://www.wave3.com/2020/08/01/gr...chool-remove-black-lives-matter-digital-sign/

She said the three words are teaching students discrimination and racism, and she doesn’t think it’s fair to students who aren’t black.

At this point you have to be deliberately obtuse to not understand what Black Lives Matter means.

 

[TipsyTraveler]

Seeing that other people believe black people’s lives matter almost put her in tears. She thinks the idea that black people’s lives matter is unfair to any student who isn’t black. Poor, poor, white woman having to grapple with the uncomfortable feeling that her position of supremacy in society might be slipping away.

Go home grandma, you’re racist.

Slow news day in Louisville? Wonder how one grandma's opinion on something becomes a "news story"?

Wait a minute. It seems this popcorn came from a fast food place. I'll get some more. BRB. And don't touch that popcorn.

There we go. You get a pouch of popcorn
And you get a pouch of popcorn
And you get a pouch of popcorn.

Should be locked, such talk is against the board rules.

What rules does it violate? The thread is about this woman's reaction.

And yet you not only opened the thread, but felt the need to comment?

We shouldn't advocate for censorship.

Hey, here's a distraction...

Mamma Mia! is a terrible movie.

Does the grandma get upset when the highschool does breast cancer awareness at football games in October because all cancer matters?

 

[tzolkin]

Seeing a BLM sign "almost brought her to tears" That's a strong emotional response. I wonder what her reaction is when she hears or sees things that are actually racist.

Is it? I thought politics and religion were prohibited. I think this falls under the social issues/current events category. Sure, BLM is being politicized, but so is COVID-19 and there are a million threads discussing covid related issues/events.

How triggered people get from BLM is hysterical.

Sure did.

Or call in to the ALS telethon to complain that they should fundraise for ALL people?

Seriously, though. I watched it last night. Whose idea was it to cast so-so singers in a musical? The same person who cast Russell Crowe in Les Mis?

Ugh.

no where good that is for sure. People who do not understand the BLM movement just don't understand.
