@pianoplayingsteve where do you fall on abortion, gun rights, free healthcare, and are you a Christian?

I don’t understand how it’s racist for a black man to say “ white lives matter”
White lives do matter.
I think anyone who thinks he is racist or thinks that statement is racist or a virtue signaling self hating cracker

No, the reason this is a conspiracy theory is because there's no evidence that BLM was anything other than a racial struggle against perceived police bias.
There was no state collectivization or attempt at turning populations against each other.
anything that goes against what I already believe is a conspiracy theory"

Yes, some people are racist against white people. But that's not what BLM is about.
You presented no evidence that BLM was an attempt at Maoist revolution or what the conspiracy is this week.
At most, you pointed out that BLM and Maoists are both against racism. Which obviously doesn't mean the two groups are the same on anything else
I saw countless attacks on "whiteness" and white people as being the apparent "benefactors of -and those that benefit from- the system of racial oppression".

I also like how you called my claims conspiracy theories and then when I provided examples of what I was saying, you continued as if I never provided anything.

seems with all these protests against the establishment,they have to be establishment approved
Blame Capitalism. Nike dropped Kanye because he was costing them money.

@pianoplayingsteve Because he was saying things that a lot of people didn't like. People were boycotting Nike, so Nike did the smart business thing and cut ties with Kanye. This is just Capitalism.

@BohemianBabe That's ideological pressuring. Capitalism is an economic system. Plenty of people throughout history have used threats, social shaming etc to intimidate people to change how they use their capital. That doesn't mean capitalism is at fault, it's a neutral system, it means the people making threats are.

@pianoplayingsteve But it wasn't the threats or social-shaming that got through to Nike, it was that people boycotted their products. Like any big corporation, Nike makes decisions based on money.
