Apparently some of them. You can sign up online, and people have stated they are getting paid.
You have to understand that there are people who have an agenda that is not one with the protesters. There are liers and bad actors that seek to disrupt the message.

On the other hand, people who have dared to say what you just wrote here have been fired from their jobs, been roundly vilified as racists, and worse.
Really? Who?

Yet they're being identified in the media as being among them. The MSM is now even reporting the part of Seattle they took over as a "protest zone". I guarantee you that if it was a right wing organization that had done this takeover, it would be referred to as "terrorist occupied territory that has been seized by armed right wing zealots" that has been stolen from the taxpayers. Never mind the fact that the people there are armed and even killing each other right now.

Unfortunately you are very correct. This is a attack on America. A lot of the protesters are being paid to protest. This is a very real threat and honestly I am not sure if America will survive. This protest is a break down of law and order, the radical factions and the criminals are going to milk this protest for all they can.
Who is being paid to protest? How much are they being paid, and who is paying them?

It depends on which store they break into and loot.

Just search on Google there is websites where you can sign up. Supposedly George Soros is paying them.
I searched google and found nothing but articles debunking the allegations that people are paid to protest. Wha5 evidence have you seen exactly?

Facebook routinely removes posts it doesn't agree with as well. There have been plenty of things I used to be able to look up using google and they aren't able to be found anymore.

That is in the constitution, however I understand and accept that there is racism in the criminal justice system and the job market as well as higher learning. I accept the decisions I have made in my life, dropping out of school at 15 to goto work as an example. I am thankful I have a income. So I really understand that black lives matter.
I dont think "all men are created equal" is in the US constitution.

I dont see how it could be, as slavery was permitted right out of the gate. And unjust race specific laws were constitutionally permissible right into the later half of the 20th century.

@Broken Fence said to google it. If they have evidence, they’ll have to direct us there.

You said that all men are created equal. That's what he said is in the Constitution.
Umm? You don't know what is in the constitution do you?:scratch:

Like I said, individuals have no control over the movement that has grown beyond their conception. It's just a label that means any number of different things to any number of different people.

My point was that people in general have no conception as to what they have connected themselves to, with their participating in marches sponsored by the likes of BLM.

they should investigate what the BLM movement is all about first. because BLM is a very catchy phrase isn't it?

It was only in the South that it was permitted, which then lost in the civil war. The constitution won.
