You don't believe bullying has a pecking order with people? I've definitely seen it with animals.

When amateurs decide they're going to work outside the system to force people to do something, they'll be going up against people who work outside the system professionally to redirect them.

The clue is always not who it affects but who profits from it.
I keep getting letters from the ACLU asking me to renew my membership. Maybe it's time.

Okay then
I'm not sure how pointing out that the BLM movement is not made up of black people (BLM Philly aside) is smearing the movement. In any case, the thread is larger than BLM. The Evergreen College incident didn't include BLM, just a race question amped up to 11. The students at Bryn Mawr turned on their feminist founder on creed, not race. The larger issue is about identity politics and its divisiveness, and its rejection of the liberal notion of the open consideration of ideas. And without bias I can consider it really interesting -- and annoying, really -- that this particular group decided to include "Liberalism is white supremacy" as one of their chants. |

Ugh. Clodfobble was referring to the intended recipients of the goal of BLM, i.e. the people being mistreated which necessitate the creation of BLM. Why it exists. I thought that was clear in the series of every post she's made in this thread. I get that your point was this other thing, but thread drift exists and sometimes people aren't talking about the OP.

She made the error reading the BLM movement as universally black, and I have made the error of trying to correct this by referring back to this particular protest, which only proves that BLM William & Mary is mostly white.

I think what gets lost in discussing the logistics of protest movements is the actual purpose of the movement--why it exists. BLM doesn't exist to benefit white college kids, and it is incidental to the existence of the movement that it peripherally gratifies the desire of some white college kids to virtue signal, whether that desire is earnest, or misguided, or anything in between. I don't think anybody was stating that BLM is exclusively black. Rather, the purpose of BLM is to call attention to the plight of black Americans.
I have made the error of posting an out-of-scope criticism which referenced your thread topic, when my intent was to point out that your thread topic wasn't even in play. I acknowledge your tenacity in trying to corral the thread back in that direction, I just thought it was a s t r e t c h :::puts, like, a thousand words in clodfobble's mouth::: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
