Another great example is the proud boys. I see every liberal and their brother acting as if anyone who is associated with the proud boys is bad.
But I don't necessarily see this as the case.
Yes, there have been some instances of proud boys doing bad things. But there have been instances of EVERY organization doing bad things.
My goodness......if everyone had categorized BLM based on the worst things their members did, they literally wouldn't have lasted a week!
But everyone was especially hesitant to do that because of the word 'black'. There was that privilege of "give them the benefit of the doubt", because ostensibly, their motives were good (even though week after week after week many of their actions were terrible, and arrests were many).
Ok, so the proud boys are proud of american heritage, mostly comprised of white people (and hispanics BTW), they hate the current status of immigration, and they're militia-leaning.
How does that make everyone of the proud boys bad? To me they look like an organization with good goals, and truthful sentiments, which is bound to attract a 10% bad. Kind of like you,
@moke123 , probably view BLM.
But I don't go around labeling every black person who is proud of blacks, black power, and black culture to be "black supremacists". (Even though I believe some are, but it's not a common response to the phenomenon).
We need to reduce the # of truthful things that are taboo to say, so we can all talk freely and admit the truths that are currently 'forbidden' to discuss. Ironically, this is what libs call an "uncomfortable conversation".
