BLM lost its... they just shouldn't have allowed the radical folks in it. That call for violence, 'fuck 12!' and other left wing idiologies... I do support the freedoms and rights of ALL americans. I do think there is disparity and racism, currently, for black Americans - but I can't support a movement that allows 50% of their message to be violence and overthrow the police.... I support change, that is compromised between all parties. |07p|15AULIE|1142|07o |08......... --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/01/05 (Raspberry Pi/32) * Origin: 2o fOr beeRS bbS>>20ForBeers.com:1337 (1:105/420) .
