Well you either inferred or directly said:
the agenda of the BLM movement was not much beyond racial injustice,
questioned if any elected officials were supportive Of it
suggested that even if this agenda exists, it has little chance to see the light of day.
i just shared a factual ( yes, I challenge you to find one word of it that is not factual, as well as one word which is editorial opinion) news release that 3 congresswomen considered to be rising stars unveiled legislation which damn near matches word for word of the M4BL published platform...
I would just say that your take, this is much ado about nothing, and inferring in an insulting way that it is like some crazy conspiracy theory, is just dead wrong and easily disproved.
The article does point out that this is not a bill yet, and if it becomes one it will likely not pass the House. But acting like this is the end and not the beginning of such a platform, especially post November pending a variety of different election outcomes, is either not credible or maybe deceptive.
based on your posts I would guesstimate that you would strongly support much of these initiatives, and that’s fine if you do. But I also get the sense you would rather they slide in under the radar so to speak, which is what the game plan appears to be on a broader scale.
so no, you don’t fear any of this..
I honestly don't really want to get too deep in this, because in the end, you are going to be more concerned about this than I am. But I just keep getting pulled in.
You're right. I overstated the focus of the coalition of groups BLM, and the part of BLM that has a website, is involved with (understated the breadth of its focus). I still doing think it's particularly well organized.
I didn't question if any elected officials supported it. I disagreed with you that it was gaining to the power to rival the two primary parties.
Factual challenge on the, I think, Fox News article: Headline: 'Squad' Dems Tlaib, Pressley introduce bill to defund police, give reparations."
Body: "
The legislation has not been introduced."
You also wrote three congresswomen, but the article says two.
To answer your much ado part, I suppose I'm just tired. There's so much to freak out about in the world. I'm worn down by all of it. And if the great worry is "The left is going to get its stuff together and push through pie in the sky stuff" I don't believe it'll happen. I'm just skeptical that way.
I don't support a lot of what's in that proposal. I'm neutral on chunks of it. I assume 98 percent of it will never push through. I'm guessing you might agree with even a piece or two.
Anyway, I find it weird that I'm calling for it to "
slide in under the radar so to speak." The chunks of it are in a big presentation online. The loudest and most influential voice in media turned it into clicks with ease. Maybe I'm a sleeper cell so sleepy, I don't even know I'm doing it.
Anyway, I wish we had enough sports to not be discussion this. Hopefully soon.
