“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

It was a given.
The concept of Black Lives Matter is just redundant to All Live Matters or saying just Black Lives Matter is actually taken as be strictly a racist statement. It infers that Black Lives Matter more than others. You may argue it doesn't but that is the way others hear it.

Actually, I thought we were promised that we were all waiting for sports. I think the impact is much larger than the down numbers show. We don't even have someplace else to be as an excuse to miss the games.
I'm watching sports. I have watched the PGA. I watched The Kentucky Derby. I can't wait for College Football but if they pull any stunts then I'll find something else to do. I did the same thing after the strike years for the sports so it is not just the BLM. Once you take away from the game with a distraction then I am distracted and have something else to do. Even if they say no more protests then I am still not going to run back. I am distracted. Two and a Half Men reruns are on.
