[QUOTE="Unofficial Reverand Alex, post: 75279218, member: 405139"] Yes; police reform to address such measures is something I think anyone would support. The focus of this part of my letter was to use the same standard on BLM that they use on the police. Second paragraph from the bottom: "When protesters attack high-end retail stores that are owned by the wealthy and service the wealthy, that is not “our” city and has never been meant for us." And the third paragraph from the top address "looters", and makes no effort to condemn the violence thereof. As was already mentioned, I don't know much about the Englewood incident; that was not the point of mentioning it. I was pointing out the lack of condemnation, and even the approval of the violence in the city. Good questions, though. "Defund the police" is one of the rallying cries of BLM advocates everyone; just look up the words online & you'll be immersed in so much of this from BLM & elsewhere. I do not know about the founders in particular, but it is certainly prevalent among the supporters of BLM. A 3-minute video should be a 5-minute video, if they wanted to go into detail about an alternative way to protect populations who can't afford their own security. As Sowell explains quite well in the article, and in interviews he's had, good education is a necessary step in supporting black communities, and black lives are enhanced when the black communities are enhanced. Yet searching "Education" or "School" on the BLM website shows nothing on calls to improve schooling for black communities. “We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.” This is part of the BLM "What We Believe" page, roughly halfway down their list of "We" statements; [URL]https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/[/URL] . As such, how could striving to improve the portrayal of women in popular music [I]not [/I]be something that BLM should strive for? [/QUOTE]
