Isn't saying "Black Lives Matter" similar to "Don't Kill Puppies"? -- DexterLake 07/15/2020 12:51PM

That's the point. They are asking why Black Lives Don't Matter to some. -- Blah 07/15/2020 1:57PM

So, I assume White Lives Matter is bad juju. ** -- Hoogle.com 07/15/2020 2:47PM

Think of it in terms of if some said "poor people's lives matter"...would -- Plano Hoo 07/15/2020 2:53PM

Looks like someone needs to look at the violent crime stats. -- Hokieesith 07/15/2020 3:19PM

If it were crime driven the BLM should be protesting in black neighborhoods ** -- PalmyraHoo 07/15/2020 5:34PM

Who has said "black lives DON'T matter"? ** -- LAHOOters 07/15/2020 2:06PM

Ask the original poster. He asked the question. ** -- Blah 07/15/2020 2:09PM

May I introduce you to JMHoo? ** -- Plano Hoo 07/15/2020 1:42PM

I don't see temper tantrums when people say "don't kill puppies ** -- Plano Hoo 07/15/2020 1:41PM

Curious, if you are able to say it out loud. As a stand alone? -- Shenhoo 07/15/2020 1:40PM

The meaning as I see it is that they should be seen to matter as much as -- KCHoo 07/15/2020 1:09PM

Exactly that. ** -- NJHoo 07/15/2020 1:37PM

RepubliKKKunts kills puppies and Drumpf eats brown babies, though?!?!? ** -- ResistHoo 07/15/2020 1:09PM

Refill your prescription today! ** -- TomGlansAski 07/15/2020 1:16PM

There's a yapper next door to me who could do with a toss into Puget Sound. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 07/15/2020 1:08PM

If it can't swim, it's bound to drissown ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:19PM

My fervent hope.... :D ** -- Seattle .Hoo 07/15/2020 1:35PM

Soooo wrong. But yeah, I laughed. ** -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 1:09PM

Do you know Newman? ** -- 81_Hokie 07/15/2020 1:09PM

It's not about Black lives mattering, of course they do. It's about calling -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 1:08PM

Normally one has to go to a KKK, or trump, rally to hear such insight. ** -- 111Balz 07/15/2020 1:46PM

Why would you say that? And please show your work. ** -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 1:54PM

I'm betting you've joined in on a "no terroni" chant at a soccer match or -- WahooRQ 07/15/2020 2:36PM

That’s the kind of opinion of the BLM movement that I would expect to find -- 111Balz 07/15/2020 2:14PM

Why would you say that? And please show your work this time. ** -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 2:58PM

That's not quite it -- Hoodeac 07/15/2020 1:20PM

Why do any of those things have to be negatively affected for black lives -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 1:28PM

Let them into their gated communities. ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:32PM

The owner of the WNBA Atlanta Dream is being called a racist. ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:17PM

If you agree, why so much angst? Maybe put some of that energy -- HoosWillWin 07/15/2020 1:08PM

Nah ** -- Hoo TV 07/15/2020 4:32PM

Why didn't Obama solve this in his 8 years in the President's House? ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:16PM

Sorry, but that's kind of naive. It isn't about flipping a switch. Also -- HoosWillWin 07/15/2020 1:32PM

I think you are the one that is naive. So I guess that impasses us. LOL ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:35PM

Possibly because there is nothing to solve. ** -- Hokieesith 07/15/2020 1:16PM

Baker Mayfield apologized for being silent on Systemic Racism in this -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:18PM

Can you describe the systematic racism problem? -- Hokieesith 07/15/2020 1:10PM

I typically don't respond to you, since you are one -- HoosWillWin 07/15/2020 1:18PM

I scanned the first few and didn't see proof -- Hokieesith 07/15/2020 1:24PM

LOL! The very first one shows black and hispanic labor rates going up -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 1:36PM

I think that is a fair view, and to @jdubforwahoowa question -- VaTechie 07/15/2020 1:53PM

Is that systemic racism or truth in hiring procedures? ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:21PM

Show your work ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:16PM

Maybe you can find a better analogy than killing animals ** -- 111Balz 07/15/2020 12:59PM

Save the whales? ** -- HAZER 07/15/2020 1:25PM

A response of "All sea creatures matter" would be pretty absurd response -- WahooRQ 07/15/2020 2:59PM

Definitely some truth to that. ** -- HAZER 07/15/2020 3:17PM

Here is the issue, though. -- HAZER 07/15/2020 4:54PM

Somebody forgot to sent the memo to Jaws. -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:31PM

Holy guacamole! I'm a sharkaphobe. In the ocean always on edge. :( ** -- Seattle .Hoo 07/15/2020 1:42PM

Pretty impressive though speculation was whale was not completely -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:43PM

Went for the artery in the tail, let it bleed out, then drowned it. Dayum! ** -- Seattle .Hoo 07/15/2020 1:46PM

Sure. If you ask anyone "Do black lives matter?" just about everyone's -- psychobilly 07/15/2020 12:59PM

That’s news to US Congressman Matt Gaetz -- WahooMatt05 07/15/2020 12:53PM

I'd rather have a two-day argument with my wife, including silent treatment -- southdenverhoo 07/15/2020 1:46PM

He'd better be careful condemning the Confederacy like that. ;) ** -- Seattle .Hoo 07/15/2020 1:10PM

Also Matt Gaetz can’t even say black lives matter -- WahooMatt05 07/15/2020 12:55PM
