If people are attending a public rally to raise awareness for multiple sclerosis, would you interject and say, "No, all diseases matter"?

    Each condition / illness merits some attention. Suggesting one should give way to all, for the sake of interjecting (because that's what it sounds like) is taking political correctness to an extreme where it has little useful effect. The point of raising awareness is to give information - not to stand up and have your voice heard.

    America is traveling down a path that it can not course correct.

    The pendulum has swung so far to the right that political correctness will become just a faint echo in the past.

    Our President has made it "cool" to be racist, sexist, and homophobic. Universal healthcare, protecting the environment, etc., are all "evil socialist ideas that are destroying America."

    Trumpism will continue to thrive and transform America until it gets to the point were even hard-core Conservatives will say too much. But by that time it will be far too late. Speaking in opposition to Trumpism will have been made illegal.

    Human beings are not diseases. Your analogy is stupid and makes no sense.Police are more apt to shoot a black suspect because a black person's life doesn't matter as much as a white person.

    Black Lives Matter is asocial and political movement to protect black Americans from police brutality.

    I don't care about the "all lives matter".

    What I care about is that BLM is promoting the deaths of more black people.

    93% of black people murdered are murdered by BLACK PEOPLE. The ABSOLUTE LAST thing you want to do to a trigger happy cops is come up showing hatred towards them.

    This is not rocket science here. Every time a cops does their job, they have to worry about someone trying to kill them. EVERY TIME. You think the best way of calming cops down is by yelling at them???

    Further, given the crime statistics, the problem is NOT ENOUGH police monitoring in black communities.

    If BLM were trying to find ways to bring the police and the black community together to work on reducing violence BOTH from cops and overall violence in the streets, I would be their biggest supporters.

    They are NOT. They are sowing hatred of cops. Their strategy will lead to more black people dying.

    And don't even get me started on how STUPID everything they do is.

    They are against body cameras. WTF???

    And associating their cause with disrespecting the flag and then saying that it has nothing to do with the flag while continuing to kneel??? WTF???

    These people have no idea what they are doing and are just shouting hatred. They should follow the teachings of Martin Luther King. Then they would find their ability to make positive change.
