This is complete bullshit. My niece lives in Logan Square and they are all over the place, and certainly not a "few". Not just black lives matter messages, but BLM signs.

That was last week, though.

Sounds like you and Reader need to get off the message board and get out of your comfort zone.

Nothing says "hotbed for black rights activism" quite like the Logan Square Neighborhood. Black population of Logan Square is a rather robust 6%

You see guys it wasn't real black people behind BLM and the looting. And it's certainly not news because no black people in RR's black neighborhood never talked about looting or the biggest political movement and news story in the country the past 3 months.

Here is an article about all the BLM murals in the city. It's not restricted to a few areas in the city.

Get a load of ltg moving the goalposts!

Edit: Reader, too!
It's okay to admit you are wrong.

Figures that one of the resident board piece of shit bigots apparently didn't actually read, or comprehend the point to an article he ignorantly cited to prove a widespread devotion to the BLM organization by the community he hates.

That he's too stupid to look at the colorful pictures of often very temporary murals speaks volumes. Nitwit. As usual.

I thought I could get into a little discussion with ltg before WFR mucked it up. So much for that.

So admit that you're wrong.

I don't usually understand art, and I ask this out of confusion and curiosity, why does the brown guy have a bird mask on?

About what? Reader and my comments pertained to black neighborhoods. I don't see a ton of it and when I see signs I honestly think that it is to stop the looting if nothing else.

_________________

The next time one of his "intellectual" comments do not involve some sort of widespread generalization or stereotype you might want to hold a parade.

Either he is giving you that or a complete misrepresentation of what was actually posted.

Okay.

I was wrong to think you and ltg could stick to the subject.

There are a lot people that aren't on board with it but you'd never know it from reading likeminded guys WFR, Leopold , JLN, etc. They tend to take a rather monolithic view of such people and as such do not quite grasp the concept of diversity.

I criticized BLM on here 4 years ago for misplaced emphasis. Their movement was so prevalent that they laid dormant for 4 years. Some movement.

_________________

His point was that he doesn't know a lot of people that are talking about Black Lives Matter in his community. I don't either. You're trying to tell us that we must be lying because they have signs in Logan Square.

What does that have to do with people we know and stores that we have seen?

_________________

True.

Furious, it's not a criticism of you or your integrity, but just the assertion that because your niece says one thing can outweigh the daily experience of someone fully immersed in the community that the opposite is more accurate.

Plus RAIDERS! fans gotta stick together more often than not.

You went to a black only school. You live in a nearly black only neighborhood. You talk with your mostly black friends. Your racial identity is clearly the most important part of your identity. Yet you have no awareness of major black political movement that likely includes murals and signs in your neighborhood and dominates the news outside of this message board. You are either lying or senile.

As for the rest, calling someone a racist now if about the same as calling them a witch. If someone disagrees with you they are a heretic.

I can see generally youth-driven movements not capturing the attention or interest of older observers like RR and LTG. The older folks tend to be skeptical of youth movements anyway - check out the average age of the Bernie crowd, even though that movement is/was ironically led by a man in his 70s.

I know it's cliche to mention this but the whole debate here about the visibiity of BLM just underscores how minority communities don't think in lockstep with one another. There are black folks who hate BLM and there are BLM folks who hate other black folks. There are BLM folks who hate other BLM folks. It's not always a crystal clear thing when it comes to minority movements.

Are you serious? When I called for justice for the "Black" children being shot and killed, I was ridiculed by you and a couple others who love to play the victim of society.

Believe I was told my disgust at "black" children (not sure why I can't be sad for any child that is killed) was fake and not sincere because I am a white male and never went to console the victims family or some bullshit statement.

If we were in Vegas, they would kick you out of the casino for pulling the black card out your sleeve, every time the dealer shows an Ace in Blackjack.

It's not a "youth movement" anymore when it's a lead story the national news for the past 3 months, and it has been around for 6 years. You can say my friends don't talk about it. Fine. But it's on every social media log-in, newspaper, news broadcast, cable tv menus, streaming service menus, and radio public service message. It was on the Google main search for weeks. And it's on signs and murals throughout every major American city. It's not some fringe movement that can be missed unless you are hiding in a bunker without the internet.

Oh no! The examination by a bigoted piece of shit who ran from the board like a pussy when he got blowback from his stated desire to freely call people n*ggers. And now this same piece of shit wants you to believe that he, a drunken racist fool understands Black politics more than anyone who ever disagrees with him.

But rest assured, I'm not going to try and tell you what's trending with lying shitstains like you, Hawk, jln and leotardo on 8chan.

I would politely point out that a blackjack has nothing to do with the color of the card but instead requires a ten, jack, queen or king of any color. I am sure the casino would be fine if he pulled out a black five to go along with that Ace.....

Come on, the claim that you don't really hear about BLM outside of this board is so obviously bullshit I don't even know why you tried to get away with it.

I understand the world far better than someone who only hears about BLM from here. As for the rest, telling my friend to drink himself to death is the most disgusting thing ever posted here. So many you should look in the mirror for once you bitter old fool.

Nah I question its viability and its emphasis and I'm not as old as you might think.

A movement that is predominantly reactionary isn't much of a movement at all. Thats why it lay dormant for 4 years. I don't hate BLM. Actually I have been rather ambivalent about it more than anything. Not much interested in symbolism and thats what I see a lot of it as. If they want to enact actual change then I'm with it but if all they seek to do is lead protests marches/post on Twitter then count me out.

As stated previously the real change has to be economic. When people begin to honestly discuss that then count me in. If all they want to do is revive the Civil Rights Movement then I'm out.

Unfortunately as is often the case with such movements the second economics are discussed then people back off and whatever "support" you believed that you had is no longer there.

Ugh. My niece didn't say it - I did. You don't think I didn't do more than my fair share of reconnaissance when she moved in? Then you don't know me very well. Not to mention there is a dispensary nearby.

And I hate to break it to you, Reader, but a CFMB denizen like yourself is most definitely "on Twitter" whether you realize it or not.
