Gamecocks should sport a "Matter is the Minimum" patch this year

That may literally be the most ignorant analogy I have ever seen.
And the assertion that an opinion can't be based on the vast amount of information readily available on the group in question, most of it directly from said group, is beyond nonsensical.
By that logic, we could never understand any group that existed in the past, because we can't speak directly to their members. Sounds kind of stupid, doesn't it...….
No, your comment is stupid. You actually have an opportunity to discuss, try to find common ground, perhaps even educate your fellow American, but you refuse. You have all the knowledge you need from the internet. Lol. I hope you have a nice weekend. Its beautiful outside.
 
Hence why I specified I was alluding to the "organization" BLM.
And specified I have no issue with the desire to discuss police accountability etc..
I understand, I was just clarifying for the broader discussion. Did not intend my response as an attack on you, if that was unclear I am sorry.
 
Do yourselves a favor and educate yourselves on BLM as a group.
Read their mission statement, watch interviews with their leadership.
They are a Socialist/Marxist activist group , and they make no illusions about it.
They are anti-capitalism, anti-nuclear family, and anti-democracy by their own admission.
They appear to care very little about any "black lives" that don't forward their narrative or increase their undeserved power.
I am all for addressing police accountability (start by busting the police unions). I am all for addressing the manner in which minority communities are policed. I have no issue with people of color saying their lives matter, as long as no one has an issue with me saying all lives matter. Because the "all" encompasses ALL, including black lives.
But the ORGANIZATION calling themselves Black Lives Matter, is a crock.
OK. I went and read their mission statement like you asked. Missing the parts where they claim to be a Marxist, anti-family, anti-democractic group of communists.

Perhaps you heard all that on Hannity?

You might need some reading comprehension. Took me one scan to find the anti nuclear family declaration. Anti gender. I don't think this is their official statement they have made. They left out anti-capitalism and anti police doctrines. You can make them out to be just a nice group of protestors, but they are in fact anarchists that want this US to vanish and create their own. Sound familiar?

Gee, how do we know anything about the Roman Empire, the ancient Greeks, the Founding Fathers, or the group the left now wants to be the Nazis.
I mean, we never got to speak to them in person. Idiotic logic.
And I have no common ground with these coffee-house commie wannbe anarchists.
Nor you obviously.
I get it, it's the leftist's oldest play in the playbook.
Try to shout down, diminish or otherwise undermine differing political opinion.
Problem is you stink at it.
And Apple just hit 425 & announced a stock-split, my weekend is made!!!!!!!

Stink at what? You guys are so far right you can't see straight. I never gave my opinion, I simply asked you easy, underhanded, softball questions. And you go on some political rant. I don't agree with everything they stand for, but the difference between you and I, I actually engaged a few and asked questions. Had a discussion. Found some common ground. Build a bridge. You trump fan boys are only interested in defending his lies and sticking it to libs. Truly un-American in every sense of the word. Your approach is also devoid of anything that Christianity teaches. I choose a different approach. But you do you, hoss.

Yep, everyone who disagrees with you and logically deconstructs your argument is written off as a "Trump fan boy".
About as unpredictable as a sunrise.
Thanks for the permission to do me.

How can you deconstruct an argument when i never made one? Reading comp seems to be a struggle for a certain number of posters here.

You'ren naive enough to believe this is about black people. They don't give a shit about black people, hell, black people don't give a shit about black people. They only care about getting dis'spected. The mistake you've all made is believing you can prey on people being nice and polite. That will look like it works for a while, but you're not changing anybody's heart.
 
They're playing with fire by allowing patches. I'd be willing to bet that a large majority of the boosters and fans that buy tickets and merchandise won't appreciate the message being presented.
 
Let’s say that we want to fix the systemic problem (as some people say it is). People are just protesting but not looking to fix what they don’t like. Possibly there is a solution other than defunding the police.

We could:
Hire a diversity of people.
Train them.
Test them.
Prosecute them if they do wrong.
What else?

You know what, the local governments who hire and control the police can do all of that. Why haven’t they already done all of these things? I guess it’s only the Republican run local governments that have these systemic problems ;)
 
I not for any patches logos flags or anthems of any kind but Americas National anthem and Names on the unis
 
They would be wise if they looked for a sponsor and put that patch on the jerseys. Like Toyota or Papa Johns. Make a little extra money why you can.

I challenge you on the too much used word systemic which indicates this a total problem through out the organization. The stats don't agree with you. I would guess 95% of the police force do their job properly. Now if you used that describing power hungry politicians, it would apply.
 
We need college football back this fall in a bad way. Not looking forward to another year of people arguing about politics on this board.
 
How many BLM members have you spoken to? Because if someone directs others to "educate" themselves, I'm certain they've done more than just read the internet. I'm positive someone like that would have already engaged the people they claim to know so much about. So, tell us, what did you discuss with them?
Give it up. You’re just wrong on this.
Go Cocks! Beat App St.

You can get their mission statement straight from the founder of the movement. I unlike you(I assume) believe them when they tell me who they are. Conversation after the unveiling is irrelevant. I don't need to know anything else after someone calls themselves Devout Marxists

Because fear isn't something I hide behind. I engaged 3 groups at a protest. Specifically picked these 3 because they were holding blm signs and had their kids with them. They weren't anything you describe or the website describes. They have jobs. They pay taxes. They aren't committing crimes. They just fear sending their kids out on a Friday night. They aren't scary people. If you ever get out of the basement, you should engage them. Its the Christian thing to do. As I said in the other thread, there are very few extremists at these rallies. Those people come out at night to cause chaos and destruction. They are joined by far right groups, like the umbrella man in Minnesota. Those are criminals, not protesters.

They took down alot of the damning statements because people were catching on to their nonsense. Look at their interviews on YouTube.. They tell you exactly who they are. It's up to you to listen

What far right group is in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago, NY??

"An investigation found that the man was also an associate of the Aryan Cowboy Brotherhood, a White supremacist prison and street gang based mainly in Minnesota and Kentucky. Several of its members were in Stillwater, in eastern Minnesota, late last month when a Muslim woman was confronted by a group of men wearing White supremacist garb."

I'm sure it was just one guy... the Boogaloo boys were in cola recently. Are you seriously naive enough to believe there aren't far right groups involved in this?
 
The cities gave in a long time ago. Why still protesting ? America’s not giving in to no police. Sorry but we need them. What else does BLM want ? I’m not sure I believe they really don’t want families without fathers , is the true ?
Anyone on here a member ?

That's one incident at the very beginning of this thing. The people that are on the streets rioting are Antifa and BLM. There are no right wing rioters on the streets. I'm sorry your media has you believing that but this is all Democrats and your representatives in Washington aren't condemning it.

The people you describe are the ones to whom BLM is a well meaning slogan.

I assume these are black people you are describing, and they say they are afraid to send their kids out because of WHITE people? Baloney.

Ironic you call others naive on a different post; you strike me as one of the most naive posters I have read on here.

I was quoting what the BLM people have said, not what I think. Please read my post again. A solution Is not what BLM want. A solution is in the hands of the Democrats who control the cities that have the problems. In fact, they can be blamed for the “cops are bad” viewpoint. Was holding a perp down with your knee accepted practice or not? Did the majors care about training their police forces so this would not have happened? Did they care about removing the bad actors from the police force?
 
Hell no to the no no no............

NO EFFIN Patches, no squat ins, no panty changes........ PLAY FOOTBALL or pack your crap and get out. I troll Kellen Mond *DAILY* on twitter and remind people that with his recent crap he pulled at A&M it essentially makes him Colin Kaepernick Jr........ < I remind him of that daily. (using different accounts of course but I wouldn't draft that Anti-American commie with a 100 ft pole) ------- He's a SJW, not a QB. Colin Kaepernick Jr to a *T*......

The boogaloo boys were in Columbia and Greenville. But your news media doesn't want you to know that, I guess.

Cops, whites, I didn't bother trying to tell them they were wrong in their own observations but you should go out and argue with them next time. You are apparently the most intelligent person on this forum... im sure you could get them to see their feelings are all "baloney".

Ran into one at the grocery store the other day. Tried to get in my face ..... that ended rapidly. Was quite funny.
