    No, the real problem is certain people feel that by treating all people equally somehow takes freedoms away from them.
    BLM is a movement created to show how certain groups within the population, specifically black people, are not treated the same as others, specifically white people. There are some who are using the BLM protests for violence and vandalism and they should be condemned by everyone.

    You sound like Trump: "There's fine people on both sides".


    What about when BLM is marching and chanting:

    "what do we want?

    "dead cops"

    "when do we want 'em"?

    "now".

    What do you think of a President that doesn't warn the American people about a deadly virus and lies to American people that it will go away and it's just like the flu?

    This should be FUN

    Your turn. Will you denounce BLM & Antifa?
    Unless you are a person of colour, I do not think a white person can knowledgeably comment on BLM.

    Antifa is a very small fringe group pumped way up into the media's attention far beyond their true impact on society.

    This has nothing to do about this threads discussion about COVID-19.

    What is shocking and way more concerning is that Texas reported over 1M of its citizens has been infected by COVID-19!

    That kind of thinking is so juvenile.

    Let's apply your "logic" (if you want to call it that) in reverse, shall we?

    Black people are always commenting on white people. They say we are "privileged". How do they know? They've never walked a mile in my shoes?

    BLM wants to defund the police. Anyone who supports BLM or defunding the police is just plain ol' ignorant.

    Are you a "person of colour"? If you are not why are you not following your own advice. Though to be 100% truthful everyone is a person of color, even albinos, the only ones who come closest to being white. In case you were not aware white is a colour.

    Here's an easy one for you. Please explain in your own words what you believe " defunding the police" is. I don't want the Republican line, just your thoughts.

    Again, fuddle duddle not related to this thread.

    1M people in Texas are infected with COVID-19, soon overtopping Texas hospitals ability to accept new patients. That is what is important.

    Today, North Dakota has no more hospital capacity to accept new patients.

    Hospital nurses, doctors and administrators who are infected with COVID-19 but asymptomatic are allowed to continue to work because there are no replacement workers available.

    I've got to stay out of these discussions. I feel like I lose a couple of IQ points each time.
