[Jermyn Davidson]

Ultimately, I think he will come out against these folks-- but time will tell.

Yeah, let me know when the Dems reject racists, as well.

Exactly.

I'm curious who the New Black panthers or BLM will endorse. Just wondering.

BLM is not on par with hatred towards any specific race of people. BLM is not calling for the country to expel from the country any specific race of people.

Comparing BLM to the KKK or any other white supremacist group would be akin to comparing apples and oranges.

New Black Panthers look at white Democrats and white Republicans as two sides of the same coin. As far as I know, they do not actively or tacitly support either one of the parties as one being better than the other.

If you don't think these are racists movements then the word "racism" has lost it's meaning or it has selective meaning.

Black Lives Matters isn't about hating white people.

There are plenty of white people who are organizers and protest with the Black Lives Movement.

It's not about hate of a race.

Please note, I am not defending the New Black Panther Party, I am challenging your mentality that lumps both of them together.

Just because black people protest doesn't mean they are racist.

They protest because they are upset.

This was part of a response from activists and public figures challenging the term All Lives Matter. On Real Time with Bill Maher, for example, Bill Maher expressed support of the "Black Lives Matter" phrase, arguing that "All Lives Matter" "implies that all lives are equally at risk, and they're not".[131] Founders have responded to criticism of the movement's exclusivity, saying, "#BlackLivesMatter doesn't mean your life isn't important – it means that Black lives, which are seen without value within White supremacy, are important to your liberation."[132] In a video interview with Laura Flanders, Garza discussed how "changing Black Lives Matter to All Lives Matter is a demonstration of how we don't actually understand structural racism in this country". She went on to discuss how other lives are valued more than black lives, which she strongly feels is wrong, and that to take blackness out of this equation is inappropriate.[133]

When it comes to interacting with the police, I agree with what Bill Maher eloquently said-- it's probably the only thing I'd ever agree with Bill Maher about, nevertheless, we agree on this point.

It always has selective meanings in our current culture.

JD must mean black LIES matter, because that entire movement is based on the "hands up, don't shoot" LIE.
