People dont want to hear this.It means a peaceful society can only occur when there is justice. For me, when I chant it, I’m saying don’t expect me to just go along with this injustice. I’m going to keep protesting and marching and chanting and fighting, because I’m not going to let the people in power think that everything is Ok when it’s not. I’m not going to pretend that we have peace when black people do not have peace. I’m not going to pretend that we have peace because a certain class of people is insulated from the suffering that poverty and racism and the criminal justice system causes. There is no peace until we all have peace. There is no peace until black lives matter as much as white lives.
The fact that the chant comes from MLK, one of the greatest architects of non-violent protest, should be enough to tell you that the chant is not intended as a threat of violence. Since you know it comes from him, why are you questioning it’s intent?
Most of what’s on that list hasn’t even happened. Now all crime is committed by BLM protesters? And you want to claim that those of us chanting “no justice, no peace” did all of that? Take that to the conspiracy forum.I have no problem with those who stand on a street corner and chant whatever they like while waving signs around. But when they go into businesses and demand people chant their slogans, or drag people out of cars and beat them with bricks, or burn down businesses and homes, or start wildfires, then I have a problem with it.
I also have a problem with them threatening businesses and organizations into advertising for them. Fortunately, those that do are reaping the consequences of it and will continue to do so until they cease.
No leader at any BLM event I’ve ever been to has promoted, encouraged, or condoned violence. To the contrary, most leaders have discouraged it and promoted peaceful protest. How do you know what the leaders are or aren’t conveying? Have you ever been at a march or rally?
Yes! And this is why I believe that the cops put far more energy into teargassing and beating peaceful protesters/ shutting down protest than they do apprehending the people damaging property and throwing Molotov cocktails. They want that stuff to continue so that all of the focus is on the “bad” protesters.People dont want to hear this.
They prefer the violence so they dont have to think about the actual issues people are upset over. They will even invent it, like BLM starting forest fires or whatever.
Most that were separated were from thier traffickers, not parents. But I guess we should just leave them with the people who brought them here to sell thier bodies...
What's hateful about separating children from child traffickers?
What is the current U.S. policy on families caught crossing the border?
For years the U.S. has given three reasons for separating kids from the adults who brought them across the border:
BTW, this isn't something that only happened under the Trump administration...the only difference he implemented was to to criminally prosecute every person caught crossing the border illegally.
- Border agents and officials suspect the kids don’t belong to the adults and/or might be the victims of human trafficking.
- If child abuse is suspected.
- If the adult is going to be charged with a crime. Kids can’t go to jail, so the Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement takes those children and places them in facilities, foster care or with family members.

Because I can’t find anything on them condemning the actions of these violent people to clear their name. Can you?
How would you find that? Do you even know who the leaders are? I can’t even name most of the leaders here in Portland, how would you know who they are, and when are they ever being interviewed or covered by the press? I just posted that I have heard the leaders at numerous rallies call for and promote peaceful protest.Because I can’t find anything on them condemning the actions of these violent people to clear their name. Can you?

I should have said " many". But the point is, it's a hard call to make. The border agents have a tough job. Would you want to chance leaving a kid with her trafficker? How do you know? Not everyone coming over the border is just fleeing a bad situation. There's gangsters, there's drug mules, human traffickers...That's not what he asked. Where's your evidence that most separated at the border are from traffickers, not parents?
“And some, I assume, are good people”, yeah we’ve heard that one before.I should have said " many". But the point is, it's a hard call to make. The border agents have a tough job. Would you want to chance leaving a kid with her trafficker? How do you know? Not everyone coming over the border is just fleeing a bad situation. There's gangsters, there's drug mules, human traffickers...
False...too much CNN spin.What has happened under the current administration is the automatic separation of children from their parents, and virtually zero effort even to make it look like they try to get kids back to their parents at any point.

But this is way off topic. Whether we agree with all immigration policies and I don't necessarily has nothing to do with the topic.
Where Does ‘Say Their Names’ (#SayTheirNames) Come From? | Cake BlogFrom the article in the OP:
'Sprits (sic) are invoked by repeating mantras, including the “say his name” refrain .....'
Is that why Lewis Hamilton was seen wearing a 'say her name' t-shirt?
“In June 2015, while Trump was a presidential candidate, he said, ‘When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.’Not sure what you mean...of course some are good people.
