All I know, when I see folks (politicians included) kneeling before Antifa and calls to defund the police---not sure it's just wanting to end racism of any kind. But, maybe a Soros takeover of our great county.

Second, I'm going to venture a guess here, YT, but I'll make the bold claim that you, indeed, are anti-fascist. I'm going to say with a deal of confidence that YOU DO NOT adhere to the ideologies of fascism. I'll go so far as to say you abhor the fascists. In fact, stay with me here ... if you are afraid that George Soros is out to take down our country, you are quite literally opposed to fascism, which would make you ....? Yep. Anti-fascist.
You're letting the mud in the water keep you from seeing there's water there at all.
It's clear you know nothing about me. I live by the Bible. I love all God's Children. I don't see color, I see character of a man.
Rom 13:8
Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

All I'm saying is, if you're going by God's word and trying to fulfill his laws and the two greatest commands as laid out by Jesus, then you're on board with black lives matter. You can't be against it. And that's ok! Christ left no loopholes or escape hatches for racism.
Also, for the record, it's perfectly fine and acceptable to see someone's color and acknowledge color differences. It's absolutely not OK to form policies or personal biases against a person for their color.
Two things can be true at once: You can be pro black lives matter, and be against violent protests (including AntiFa). You can believe to your core (which we all do) that ALL LIVES MATTER, but still acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement and struggle against institutional racism.
Sadly for all, it has become politics. The calm protesters are getting trampled by mobs of bad people. Mob mentality rules, are no rules.
Rioting and looting will set things back decades.
The heinous punks that attacked a man coming out of a convenience store was horrible to watch. Punks need their arses kiiiiicked.
And, we're losing Aunt Jemima syrup. .
I use a different brand.
I know YTB and he’s given his life to make things better for every athlete who steps on a field.
I think that most of us especially those who know the history of UT know that it’s one of the richest schools in the nation. It got that way because it’s former players and students have given hundreds of millions of dollars in money and land to the university to promote higher learning and sportsmanship. If you walk around the campus you see names on every building and athletic venue because those people have hundreds of millions to the school. They did this because they loved the university and what it stands for in every field.
No protest is going to change the fundamental idea for what the university was built on.
I think these young men have the right to protest all they want. I also think it’s UT”s right to show them the door.
Truth. I totally respect this. If people don't like it, they are welcome to leave.Quote:

Dotcom, I'm sure we'd like one another if we ever met. My biggest issue Im having now, is how this legit movement has been hijacked by those committing felony's such as arson, assaults and looting. I fear unless this madness (other than peaceful protest) don't end, it will over shadow the paramount recent reasoning all this started, when Mr. Floyd was murdered.
Innocent folks (store owners) life's matter too. And, they're way of providing for their family should not be destroyed in the process. The ears of the nation are listening. Eye's wide open. Let's hope those not peacefully protesting, don't derail the movement.

Inspiring video I happened to see retweeted by Tra Fluellen, a former Buckeye who is now a student-athlete at Houston Baptist University.

From what I’ve read it’s the tune that the song is set to that is the issue as it has racial undertones. For those that don’t know it’s set to “working on the railroad”
I think they could keep the same lyrics just revamp the tune of the song to something else with help from former minority students as well as current students.
Most of the request are easily met and should be met to be honest as it has minimal impact.
The one big issue I have with the request is the donations to black lives matter. That should not happen at all. Instead they should set up a POC scholarship fund with that money instead or donate to a better POC organization.
