To be fair, the Confederacy had “Keep owning people” at the top of their Civil War to-do list, so the Union didn’t have to come right out and make that their highest priority.

Here’s actually my favorite part of that line of reasoning:

If people are spreading the vicious lie that BLM is somehow responsible for these murders, I think it’s pretty important to point out clearly and repeatedly that the opposite seems to be true, and blast this white fucker’s face all over the internet. This is what anti-police terrorism looks like.

I’m a Black woman who’s lived in Des Moines for 12 years, and I’m sad to say that seeing a confederate flag isn’t a rare thing around these parts.

White gunman in San Francisco was taken alive last month after shooting a cop, running, and refusing to drop his weapon. Who wants to bet this guy is taken alive too?

I don’t carry the guilt of an entire group with me, so... nope. Sorry to spoil the narrative for you.

I do think it’s funny that, even though we all know the difference between The AP and The Blogs fka Gawker Media, there’s always someone around insinuating that things arent objective here.

“Black people are cop haters,” says the racist maniac who just murdered two cops for no apparent reason.

To be fair, I think the motivations were pretty mixed. But yeah, government action is more likely to be dictated by power than altruism. And the North didn’t like slavery in large part because in the northern factory economy at the time, it made more sense to just employ people for dirt-cheap wages than to house and…

This dude was from Iowa and was waving the Battle Flag of Northern Virginia.
I think an intricate knowledge of mid-19th century American history isn’t his forte.

.....from other white people. - Is the answer to that same statement I had to give to someone who (regrettably) recently said the same exact thing to me.

Who the hell is this asshole? He lists himself as the CEO of a company and the COO of another, but neither has tweeted in over a year. What fucking planet are we even living on anymore?

Please go back on FB and let us know what they’re saying now. If they’re saying anything at all. I’m guessing they’re back to posting about Hillary’s emails by now...

Good news, now that the actual suspect has been revealed he’s apologized for incorrectly blaming BLM.

Hey Bruce Porter Jr., two questions: What made this seem like an Islamic of BLM ambush-style attack and 2) which group does Scott Michael Greene belong to?

Cogitative dissonance is fun, isn’t it?

What’s most disturbing to me is that people already pegged this on Black Lives Matter before a suspect even came up. I’ve had to stay off of Facebook this morning because of my crazy conservative relatives saying that the BLM Movement is the one to blame for this. I’m just going to guess that this guy wasn’t a part of…

That’s so strange because if you read these Twitter comment strings you would believe Obama himself did it.

Also, “[t]housands more whites fought and died for their freedom.”

““they are cop haters,” a user with Greene’s name wrote in the comments section of a YouTube video showing Greene holding the flag”
