IMO, no, it does not.

That's because the new saying is "a conservative is a liberal that's not yet been the victim of a hate crime." Strange how times change.
Now everyone that hasn't been the victim of a "hate crime" is a victim of liberal media.
Ah, I was just having a little fun.
Sorry, I couldn't respond better as I was on the phone.
To me, both statements reflect the two diametric political views that seem to be truly divisive currently. The sayings of both Triceritopsoil and myself used to be used as jokes. And that's funny.

Yup, it's ridiculous. In fact, I saw a black guy complain about the whole BLM movement, and that's saying something. Also, the media only covers all the bad things done by the police and the like, when there a lot of great cops out there. The media also wants to sensationalize crimes against blacks, and probably ignores a lot of crimes against whites.
Also, no that doesn't make you racist, I agree with you.

IIRC, I remember someone saying that some of the news outlets were making the skin colors of George Zimmerman and the Boston Bombers whiter, most like to demonize whites for the former and downplay that the terrorists were minorities in the latter. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.

Does anyone here actually know of the BLM's social and political positions or the mission statements from the BLM movement itself? If not, go to the BlackLivesMatter webpage and click on mission statements. You might be surprised with what they state.

@Triceratopsoil: I want to say that's ridiculous, but given the crazy political I've seen, it wouldn't surprise me if the media really did try to spin it like that.

No. Again, black on black crime is regular crime committed by criminals just like black on white or white on brown or brown on brown or yellow on purple crime. The Black Lives Matter thing is about how easy it is for police to get away with killing people when black.

The media doesn't have to report on cops not killing black people or cops doing good things because THAT IS THEIR JOB AND WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. Is it so difficult to grasp?

No, it's not what you think it is and that's what makes it surprising.

No, but with so much reporting of the bad things cops do, people can forget all the good things they do. The omission of facts can lead to huge misunderstandings.

Is it possible that blacks have two serious problems? Cops killing blacks and black on black crime? Or is there no room for that possibility in this discussion?

Just as white on white crime. Or white heroin addiction. That is just activities of concern but again it's not institutionalized discrimination for an entire ethnic group by those with power and authority.
