"Emerging from the dimness of Plato’s Cave into the dazzle of daytime may take a while—we grew sleepier than perhaps we even knew. I say let the wild rumpus begin." Applause.

Wild rumpus it was, and it was fun, bracing at times, but most everyone could speak their mind.

During the rise of BLM, I was asked by a member; do you believe Black Lives Matter? I responded yes, I do, and it’s covered under “all” lives matter. Not good enough. This person/bot insists I say the words “only Black Lives Matter,”

I refused and being a note taker, I fired back in rapid succession victims of black-on-black violence, asking, “what about this life, did it matter?”

Turns out, no, they didn’t. The narrative was set, and just a few years later, the instigators of that bullshi% are real estate investors using the contributions of rubes to enrich themselves!

Having lived in Baltimore City I can attest to this. Currently there are 282 murders in the city, and not a BLM protest to be seen. No BLM statements about how much Black Lives Matter. Nothing.

So you are correct, some Black Lives Matter, while most others don't.

That’s the problem, grifters of all races grifting their own.

I really thought Rev Al and the Jackson’s would push back a bit on BLM, cutting into their decades-old grift and all
