The discussion is being had, just not in the right places. I often go to a black friends church, he is an associate pastor. I pick and chose when I go....they enjoy being in church a bit longer, like hours...and one of the only white people getting up to leave early ain't gonna look too good. Although,he told me don't worry, man I don't like being there all that time either on most days.

IMO, this is where BHO really missed a huge opportunity, as do most leaders that caught up in the BS of everything else.

BLM would be wise to blow up their current leadership team and adopt a more unified, in-touch leadership team. I also believe that a singular message from this new leadership team would go a very long way, it goes something like this.....

"We forgive you", then allow the healing to further begin.

While that would be noble, forgiveness is typically provided after an apology is presented first. Whether that apology has been provided or not, the BLM folks don't believe it has.

What apology are u referring to and do I apologize to the organization or the people in the street?

And, " BLM folks don't believe it has"... You know this how?

Do the BLM forgive you or the United States Government or the US Institutions? I have no idea why you take it personally. It’s strange.

You need better news sources.

You posted a link to a Newsweek article ... a rag that recently published a racist birther op-ed against Kamala Harris.

The other story you linked to was from the NY Post, a Murdoch trash bin.

You are polluting your mind with garbage. Respectfully suggest you read more enlightened news sources.

The political utility of violence: BLM and what happened at Ronald McDonald House in Chicago

By JOHN KASS
CHICAGO TRIBUNE |
AUG 15, 2020 AT 5:00 AM

While much of the focus has been on rationalizations for the looting, the violence did some horrible things to innocent human beings.

Like the parents of seriously ill children at the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago. It is a place of sanctuary and peace for families, a place to sleep and rest as they take turns at the hospital bedsides of their seriously ill children.

What happened was disgusting.

As looters raged early Monday morning, a group with hammers attacked the Ronald McDonald House, smashing windows to pieces, smashing doors.

If you’ve ever had a child in the hospital, you know the feeling of fear and panic building inside of you.
And add to that looting mobs that prevent you reaching your child’s bedside or getting a much-needed few hours’ sleep. And later you hear the rationalizations of a political actor telling you that history works that way.

Meh. Most of those people have "pre-existing conditions". Doubly so for the elderly ladies.

F people with pre-existing conditions, right? They deserve what they get.

Heck, i'd wager most of those "working class folks" are obese, Pete. They don't matter.

SILENCE?

Wouldn't you expect some empathy from the father of a daughter with special needs.

Wouldn't you expect some condemnation from ANY of our leftist regulars.

Nah. Whatever it takes to get rid of Trump.

Who cares if you have to terrorize some sick children.

There shouldn’t be such vandalism, I agree with that.

But I’m far more concerned about the effort of Trump and his Republican goons to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, an effort that, if successful, could prevent my daughter from obtaining health insurance when she’s older. I can’t live or work forever (although I will have to try and work until I die), so my special needs daughter won’t always be able to stay on my “Cadillac” health insurance. Her medical needs cost in the six figures annually, and Medicaid (also constantly threatened by Republicans), does not come close to being adequate.

Bottom line, my daughter could die without the Affordable Care Act if it’s not around after I’m gone.

So ... you may want think a bit more about what is important to a “father of a daughter with special needs.”

Happy to.

First, kindly point me to where you simply say "yeah, it stinks that all 150K of my fellow Americans have died from this virus."

Or is that too tough?

Get the point yet, Pete, or do you need me to turn the sarcasm up past 11 ?

Unreal.
