You are right that its wrong to take the worst of a group and try to represent that as the norm. Keep in mind though that people on the left do this same thing to cops and white people as well and if you dare to call them out for it, then you are labeled an a right wing troll.

blm organizers are actually calling for segregation and BTW, they are also onboard with allowing men who claim to be female to have access to female bathrooms etc. the organizers openly hate white people, Jews, Christians, cops, the Bible, the nuclear family and capitalism.

BLM is a group that I've encountered in CHOP zone. I get some of your point. They need to get it together on numerous points. Too much to detail here. I'm not a lazy cherry picker I think BLM is guilty of allowing affiliation with the wrong stuff. Their defund police nonsense and activities counteracts proper address and approach of matter. This is pretty much all of Seattle. BLM can kiss it as far as I'm concerned. They are way off track as per send sending 300 protesters to the Black Woman who was Seattle police cheifs house.

At 1:36. Perhaps BLM didn't promote segregation, however it has become violent to the point when anyone of any race or culture has to tiptoe around anyone of any other race. Lets just declare open season on Blacks, Whites, Asian, Europeans, I'll be Goddamned if I'll treat any human being with more or less respect than another. I could give a shit if your skin is plaid. Just don't get in my face with what I should do, think, or feel

The exclusivity of white social clubs has been a target of the antiracist movement for decades. Some sort of nuance about how a people of color space is different than a whites only golf club would have been appropriate.

Since we are on the topic about thinking critically, is it a product of logical thinking to be an atheist and believe without any good evidence that black lives matter. I’ll throw in all lives just to be fair. Believing that life matters doesn’t make it so. I’m sure an atheist would say the same thing if a theist claimed that the only reasonable explanation for existence is theism, and that there is no alternative, because an admission of ignorance isn’t an explanation. Of course that doesn’t prove theism right, but it is more likely to be true than a person’s ignorance. There is no evidence that human beings matter. Opinions are not facts. 3.8 billion years of death is pretty good reason to believe that black lives and the rest don’t matter. If we are just going to make emotional claims without evidence to back it up, then I guess in the end the atheist is really no different than the religionist. But then again, per the atheist’s worldview without god and it all being chemicals and laws of nature, that is all we are. So, why the atheist bothers to opine at all would be confusing to those who actually expected anything other than inconsistencies and double standards.

Yes you can find the goals of BLM "to disrupt the traditional American nuclear family unit" as it says, more or less ON THEIR WEBSITE. under "what we are about"

"overt and lazy cherry picking and finding the worst examples and ignoring everything else that doesn't confirm their biases" BRAVO. YOU'VE GOT IT. So stop doing that very thing to the Cops and whites and black conservatives.
@davidlindsay9564
October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
I can't believe you say that is "cherry picking". to show the "what do we want? dead cops" video and not others where the protest were peaceful. . How about yu show videos of the over 800 million exchanges between civilians and police that go well, instead of the damn George Floyd video a hundred times a day.
@davidlindsay9564
October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
"what do we want?"dead cops!" is no big thing it doesn't represent the whole movement? Kind of like Chauven isn't representative of all cops?
@davidlindsay9564
October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
Black Lives Matter does not condone killing cops. Tell that to the cops in Dallas a few years ago. or as of that matter, this week anyplace in the US.
@davidlindsay9564
October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
"It's only segregation in the sense of…." STOP, is it based on race? Ok, then it is segregation, there is no "in the sense of…" it has nothing to do with bars and a 10 year old kid, and nothing to do with sex either.
@davidlindsay9564

you mean we can't hold a few BLMers as representative of the rest. You mean the way BLM is treating cops? or whites? or even black conservatives?

October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
"BLM is not some cohesive national organizations" BRAVO,,,,slow clap….BRAVO. YOU'VE GOT IT! It is a nebulous mass with no clear agenda or leadership, therefore a rogue member can gun down police offficers who are protecting BLMers who are protesting cops, yet BLM is not responsible. and since no one is in charge there is no one to denounce that act of violence on a national level. BRAVO. You have got it….no go do something about it.
@davidlindsay9564
October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
2:29 "calling it that…..is intentionally provocative and dishonest" WOW. You mean like the name "BLACK LIVES MATTER" itself? What's wrong with being "intentionally provocative (if not dishonest as well) look how far it has gotten BLM!

October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
Uh, you lost me when you said BLM do not support the killing of cops. I guess you forgot the two chants they did several years ago: "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" and "Pigs in a blanket, Fry 'em like bacon."

I was almost ready to hear you out, but nah, I'm good. I've been following the evolution of BLM and the vast number of male apologists for the group, and I'm still in amazement at the number of Black men that support this organization that HATES Black men. At least, the Black men that are needed to save Black society– strong fathers and heads of households and community leaders. It's been more prominent in the past, but it's still sitting there ever so subtly in their guiding principles. I don't care what the local chapters say. If they take the name, they take the guiding principles.
@shanecarlson1057
October 2, 2025 at 5:21 pm
T1 J … I have to say, I'm loving your videos so far and I subscribed but @2:45 you state the alleged myth that BLM doesn't call for the killing of cops. Now, I realize that is may be a cherry picked example of only one particular group of perhaps misguided BLM members but as far as I can tell. This BLM was definitely chanting "How do we want them? Dead cops! When do we want them? now!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqQXmnMr_w8 I also remember seeing a video on another group of BLM where the leader was telling her members to stop destroying their own neighborhoods and then she proceeded to strongly urged them to go to the white suburbs and destroy their homes. I can't seem to find this video on you tube though.
Large scale organized movements are hard to control with a strict code of operation and guideline. It's easy for them to stray from their initial path especially because these movements are driven by hate or animosity which can easily turn into a vicious animal once that anger becomes a collective rage. I would never recommend starting any movement like this unless I it could be put together with very strict rules for becoming a member. Even if successful… I mean "especially" when a movement like BLM or similar ends up becoming successful one of two things happens. Either the leadership sells out to the FBI, CIA or some other corrupt shadowy agency or their leader gets killed… R.I.P. MLK

Thank-you! So true! I have to smh at the impact these three words "Black Lives Matter" have on people coming up with all kind of variations of their own! It is a constant battle to put the truth out there about this movement! Thank-you for making an effort!

I think Kendrick Lamar’s criticism of black lives matter is important though bc some of the top members of BLM can come across as racist I agree with the idea of BLM but some of the actions that claim to be associated puts me off sometimes I’ll still support all non violent marches or protests one of my most inspirational people is Martin Luther King jr that man loved everyone and had only pure intentions and that’s why a lot of white people like me support everyone’s rights and want to help some people can take it to far though
@jordanbutler990

No different than Steven Crowder in saying that your objetive is to be as unbiased as possible and let the viewer decide, when in reality you are really pushing your statistics going against very trusted sources like UCR and FBI, and not showing important BLM facts that show racist tendencies directly from their liders.
Does anyone know a Youtube channel that does not favor neither the left nor the right? I think its the only way to be unbiases because everybody claims to be unbiased.

There's always extremists. Point out a white cop shot a black guy, that's a bad apple. Show a white person using horrific racist language, only a few.. that's not the whole.
A black guy says we should kill white babies… HOLY FUCK BLM ARE A TERRORIST GROUP, THEY'RE THE REAL RACISTS
@dannyboone81

1. Police are more abundant in Black communities due to the dense populations. The crime is higher along with the population. Cities are the only places in America where Whites are a minority. 2. Do you think that King would try to find a better way to unite us with out further dividing us. Maybe BLM isn't a separatist group but the effect has been further separation. Segregation is different then separation. I personally believe that X believed we can solve our problems that way and that King was a unifier. 3. Black people don't want to kill cops, but what gets lost is that most of the people the police shoot actively try to kill cops. I agree that its not all, but few actually are due to misreading a situation like Rice or Castile. But even in those cases the reaction is still reasonable. In Castile the officer just didn't want Philando's hands around his gun, he yelled for him to stop 3 times. Ignore everything else, don't reach anywhere near a gun during a stop. In the Rice case the officer was only told it was a gun and he saw Tamir pulling it out. I'm not saying these situations are perfect, hell neither should have died. I'm saying that it's a tough call to make because how do you really know who are the people who want to kill you? Most demonstrations are peaceful but I saw a near by town burned down because of Mike Brown. Mike Brown did try to kill Wilson, and at some point people need to realize that the officer had no choice and the protesters were wrong. Of course that isn't every case but both of this get some of these wrong. Kind of off topic but you said Eric Garner. The cop didn't try to kill him, at best it's incompetence and a few of these cases are like that, Gurly and Grant. They were just trying to arrest him because other store owners complained. But the reason it was chary picked is the same reason Fox talks about illegal immigrants. I love CNN, but CNN knows minorities are the key to winning elections, and the frame the news. You also tried to say BLM didn't say the thing about dead cops. I'll agree BLM as a hole doesn't represent that but I thought we were talking about fact. Mistakes from both sides need to be called out. I'm almost liberal now and I also call out Antifa, they don't represent liberals. The racist also don't represent Conservatives but they do have a large part of the movement than Antifa does. It also should be noted that CNN altered Sylville Smith’s Sister saying burn down white people's home which takes me back to mistakes on both sides. I care about you as a brother human. I want to fix this as I'm sure you do. I just think we overreacted a lot of the time. I also believe we are being played by those with money. In reality this is about the wealthy maintaining control. The oppositions has to use tactics as if they were an advertising company with a demographic. It gets messy when both sides use fear to get our support.
