Michael Jordan donates $1 mil to Police+Community Org, gets called an Uncle Tom

Which is why it's ridiculous when people point to a small handful of tweets and try to use them to say the entire thing is just the black KKK or whatever other shit they say.

How many instances do people need to show you before you concede that BLM is a terrible movement?

I'd actually be interested in hearing what good they've done. Because I'm overly saturated with the monumental amount of hate the group displays.

[Tikaru]

BLM has many idiots and racists.

Also, this just in, water is wet and fire is hot!

[Kithelle]

They get a lot of press though, so IMO the media keeps them relevant.

Media loves to keep hot topics that will garner them attention alive. Can't seem to go a year without hearing some story about George Zimmerman for example...

Surprised they haven't accused Jordan of being some kind Nazi that supports Black deaths and the establishment...(I mean he used to sport the Hitler stache)

Klan With A Tan, which is what it is.

And I don't know what the hangup is with using the "oh its just a few tweets" defense.

Its not like "uncle tom" or "house n*****" slanders haven't been a popular attack for decades.

A lot of these people act like something doesn't exist unless they can type one thing into a search box and get a neatly numbered list.

Sorry there has to be a little effort involved because Twitter is fkin massive.

Use Twitters advanced search feature and plugin variations of uncle tom into all the keyword sets, include variations of BLM in the hashtag marker, then run searches for each variation and when you get the results also search the nests and retweets therein.

The result is an endless amount of people both invoking things like "uncle tom" and/or "house n*****" in relation to BLM.

Sad, he has good intentions but people just wanna hate, watch the interviews with Morgan Freeman those are amazing and blunt to the point.

[Feel The Power]

i can pull you about 250 quotes a day from Christians and Catholics and their vitriol. Do you see anyone condemning the whole religion?

Uhm...about 79% of anything said in forums across the internet is condemning religions and religious people.

[Svifnymr]

Whenever someone says something that is ridiculous in the name of BLM (which is almost every time) it gets dismissed as they aren't part of BLM. For the record who actually is an official BLM member and how many are there?

It's sort of amusing since the news chose the other side in Gamergate. A Hashtag movement's membership is fluid depending on the point they want to make or deny.

[GrinningMan]

Huh, hypocrisy from a group claiming to try and fight racism.

I, for one, am not shocked. Anything to protect their piece of the pie.

Texan doesn't like black people shock.

[Theinquisition]

Does anyone really care what BLM says anymore?

I certainly hope not.

The movement was based on a Lie, and is hypocritical in its existence.

I hope it's 2MILLION well spent.. honestly - I just want everyone to be happy. BLM, whatever - Just want our people to protect our people.. We should be together against terrorism, not hurting each other

People can call Texas as racist as they want, here in Austin TX - I rarely (jokes?) see racism. Maybe it's my city, maybe it's the internet blanket blaming a whole state of people.. whatever it is, I've never seen racism here.. But I guess people can say whatever they want.

I mean just like people can say Californian's are snooty, or NewYorkers are mean - I guess I just see people/talk to people so often that I talk to the nice people too. I just figure for every bad person out there, 9 to 10 GOOD people are standing next to them silent..
anyway haha <3

You seem like one of those people who never sees any racism. A lot of people are voting for Trump you know.

NewYorkers are mean

Seriously? Have you been there? NYers are fucking mean. They are proud of it. Its not like they try and deny it.

[Baelic]

Lol and they ignore the fact that he mentioned the killing of BOTH black folks AND police and his dislike for EITHER of them PLUS his donating to causes that are working towards "peace between peoples."

They're really starting to turn out just like PETA, aren't they?

I mean racism is everywhere, but here in Austin, Idk.. I don't see it - I may be crazy (most likely I am crazy?)

And the New Yorkers, that was just a blanket statement example haha

East Texas no less.

I don't know what yall put in the water over there, but they are fucking nuts.

[Stop Pretending]

Texas is very good at portraying itself as a bastion for the most zealous forms of American conservatism and a stronghold for the Republicans. I think some people are shocked to learn that the cities in Texas are as liberal as anywhere else.

I'm not doubting that one bit, if you're in TX and NOT in a large city, you pretty much live on a ranch - and who knows what happens there. I'm not talking badly about them ranchers, they do everything proper - Just saying - a lot of the cities here are indeed liberal as hell (even too liberal for ME #gopLIFE)
