black lives matter 'cause its all about the spirit of blackness man

You are. I could hold up a Annoying Orange sign with a communist sickle on it. I would not be speaking for Annoying Orange.
That would obviously be protest

and yet I'm the handicapped one in this situation

CHARGE UP HIS/HER MELANIN

Those protesters are not affiliated with BLM and do not speak for BLM
Is that a really ham-fisted way of saying "They're not real BLM supporters" ?

Man I can't imagine the kind of mental gymnastics it requires to try and convince yourself that a group of people holding up a sign saying "WE REPRESENT MOVEMENT X" do not represent movement X
Here's the thing. I never said they weren't BLM supporters. A lot of starfishs support BLM. Maybe even half. However, the organization itself has perfectly legal if slightly reprehensible values and has never endorsed violence. Annoying Orange supporters beat up minorities that come to the rallies. That doesn't mean Annoying Orange hates minorities.

This is like saying that Tumblr supports male gendercide. No, Tumblr users supper male gendercide. Tumblr itself has never endorsed violence.

thanks that's really all i needed to know and i'm going to lock this thread before arguments ensue
