Even elementary school kids are joining in, lol.

A couple points are brought forth rather poignantly:

1 The BLM claim the police are engaged in a coordinated campaign to destroy the black race is a false accusation.

2 It doesn't makes sense to protest the entire country and its flag.

When King protested discrimination of blacks on city buses he boycotted city buses.

If you can protest, you're free, not oppressed.

If you can protest you're not oppressed? That's a rediculous claim.

Oppresion can exist while a right to protest exists. Certainly groups like the Tea Party felt they were oppressed via taxation yet they were allowed to assemble and protest.

Some at Harvard disagree with Fryer's conclusions.

Beyond shootings, police are more likely to stop and search blacks and Latinos.

Blacks also tend to face stiffer sentences for the same crimes committed by whites.

Regardless of arguments to the contrary, there is still a disparity in the way blacks and whites are treated by the criminal justice system. Kneeling during the anthem is a peaceful way to express that and a feeling that they are not treated equally in America.

Hmmm...I wonder why people in crime ridden neighborhoods are more likely to be stopped and searched by the police. Real head scratcher there. lol

Indeed, BLM is predicated on a lie.
