Any difference between Kaep and Justice Alito?

[OddBeMe]

Kneeling during the anthem, Kaepernik gets canceled. Scotus judge Alito puts his flag upside down: a signal to Trumps idiotic “Stop the Steal”. You right wingers are such hypocrites.

Justice Alito’s house disrespecting the flag.

[Drewtate]

An upside-down U. S. flag has long been a sign of dire distress and versatile symbol of protest.

Kapernick wasn't cancelled. In fact he made a shit ton of money after his career was in the toilet. Like a lot of "activists" for the BLM movement he made a shit ton of money but he just wasn't producing on the field. A lot of us in the black community are disgusted with the blm and the likes of Kapernick who used black men who are the victims of police brutality as a means to enrich themselves and to dance as performing monkeys for white Liberals. I'm glad I never supported the BLM or gave them money. The BLM was a con, nothing but fake ass college kids of of upper middle class African American families born into Privilege that used it to committed massive fraud.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah same as donating to Trump…I wouldn’t give money to any blm or antifa org because I’m not an idiot.

[DrPepper12]

Intesting take. May I ask if you are black?

[OddBeMe]

@DrPepper12 no. But I support blm protests.

[DrPepper12]

Same.

[DrPepper12]

So dishonest. The TRIAL only began this week. You're posting accusations.

[Drewtate]

@DrPepper12 are BLM leaders not living in mansions and misappropriation funds? This has been established, the only thing the court has to decide is whether or not what they did was criminal.

[OddBeMe]

They’re not blm leaders. There’s no official blm org just like there’s no antifa. It’s a slogan or protest call. Idiots.

Patrisse Marie Khan-Cullors Brignac is an American activist, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, artist and writer. Cullors created the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag in 2013 and has written and spoken widely about the movement. Other topics on which Cullors advocates include prison abolition in Los Angeles and LGBTQ rights. Cullors integrates ideas from critical theory, as well as from social movements around the world, in her activism. Cullors has had two books published.
In 2021, a controversy arose in some media outlets, following reports that Cullors (or entities associated with her) had purchased several homes during a five-year period. Critics accused her of using the Black Lives Matter movement to enrich herself and accused her of being hypocritical for purchasing the houses as someone who identifies as a "Marxist". Cullors denied any wrongdoing and defended her actions as an effort to take care of her family and described the criticism as an "effort to discredit and harass me and my family" by the political right. On April 13, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation denied that it had paid for her purchases of real estate and said they had not paid her since 2019, adding that she had only received $120,000 since 2013 for carrying out her work related to the organization.

[Drewtate]

Her other brother Paul, a graffiti artist and founder of Cullors Protection LLC, received $840,000 from BLMGNF for security and consulting. Cullors defended hiring her brother, saying registered security firms which hired former police officers could not be trusted.
Some BLM activists accused her of "monopolizing and capitalizing our fight." Ten local chapters of the Foundation claimed that Cullors became its executive director “against the will of most chapters and without their knowledge,” that chapter organizers were prevented from influencing the group's direction, and that the national organization provided little to no financial support for local chapters since its inception in 2013. Cullors resigned from leadership of the Foundation in May 2021, and later revealed psychological exhaustion from the controversy, stating that she was receiving treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
In 2022, she denied allegations of misusing donations given to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, but admitted to hosting two parties at a mansion the BLM Foundation purchased for $6 million.

[OddBeMe]

Yawn…

Who’s the founder of Let’s Go Brandon?

[Drewtate]

I don't know what that is. I'm just stating why most of us African Americans don't support the BLM, race baiting for profit.

[OddBeMe]

Whatever dude. It’s only the Trump unofficial slogan. So who’s the CEO of “let’s go Brandon” org?

[Drewtate]

Yeah but we also had lock her up and maga

[OddBeMe]

Ok. So who’s the leader of the Lock Her Up org?

There’s someone controlling these bumper stokers right?

[OddBeMe]

*stickers

[Drewtate]

Is lock her up a charity meant to help young black men in dealing with police brutality but really it's for Black Lives Mansions?

[OddBeMe]

Neither is blm.

Someone could open a charity with the slogan “lock her up”. Does that mean it’s the official one that sets the standard?

[Drewtate]

Is that a charity or a campaign?

[OddBeMe]

Does it matter? They can make a org out of anything. Doesn’t mean it’s official or its owners speak for the movement.

[Drewtate]

It matters to me as a black man when leaders of the blm are using the black community to profit.

[DrPepper12]

Soooooo... What website did you pull that from? I noticed it was unsourced...

[DrPepper12]

That's fucking funny! Let's Go Brandon™

[OddBeMe]

@drewtate Don’t blame you. But have the criminals who misuse a charity status. Not a movement simply built on a slogan.

[Drewtate]

These are the people that set up the movement and that's why they set it up.

[OddBeMe]

Who set up the let’s go Brandon movement?

[DrPepper12]

Many right-wing conservatives do not view civil disobedience as patriotism. That's the crux of it right there. They will however support forced doctrination in schools to make impressionable kids pledge allegiance when they don't know what the fuck they're saying and this little ritual was adopted from fascist regimes. They have a very simple view of patriotism stand for the flag is their primary concern. I say burn the flag, it's protected political speech and PATRIOTIC! It always blows my mind when right wing conservatives denigrate and assail the ACLU "who's only client is the Constitution". Make it make sense!

[OddBeMe]

Yeah I don’t have a huge concern with Alitio’s flag. It’s just a scotus judge agreeing to the idiotic “stop the steal” bullshit

[Drewtate]

Kapernick and the BLM used African American men to enrich themselves.

[OddBeMe]

So does nfl owners…most if not all white

[DrPepper12]

You should have a concern. What IF THE NOTORIOUS RBG DID IT?

[OddBeMe]

True if Kagan or Sotomayor had an antifa flag or sign, you’d go nuts.

[Sevenpointfive]

you have impressed me today. i didn't think you believed in this country anymore. and now a symbolic protest makes you shit different? is every protest gonna be a pick and choose with you? if so, invest in imodium-D

[OddBeMe]

No honestly. You missed the point entirely as usual.

It’s the right not seeing them as equivalent. Kaep kneeling and SCOTUS justice calling for stealing an election for Trump.

My eyes: let both have free speech. But you fucks hated a black Afro guy disrespecting our anthem! My god!

[Sevenpointfive]

i don't mind the afro taking a knee. it's not his country anyways

[OddBeMe]

Not yours either then

[Sevenpointfive]

i am actually a native. my people were never pushed out of texas

[OddBeMe]

Well the Afro was brought here against his will

[Sevenpointfive]

the afro was always a slave. and i'm glad they got their freedom, but who's going to work my plantations? my ancestors? i don't think so. i will supply a link to anyone that wants to be a slave below.

[OddBeMe]

If I’m looking for slaves and you’re looking for slaves what shall we do?

[Sevenpointfive]

probably not have slaves. enough people that aren't technically slaves feel they are. a la slaves to the system.

[ProbablyClueless]

You could argue that the venue the speech was done in makes a pretty big difference. And the capacity in which each statement was made was pretty different.

[OddBeMe]

Always moving the goalposts. So a scotus judge doesn’t have higher standards?

[ProbablyClueless]

That's not moving the goalposts, it's telling you where they are. If anything, you're the one trying to move them around 🤣

And a SCOTUS judge has higher standards when speaking in the course of his/her duties as a judge. A Judge hanging a flag upside down on his personal property isn't the same as a judge insisting that the flag over the courthouse be flown upside down. Kaep did his speech in the course of his employment as a publicity stunt. Justice Alito didn't

[OddBeMe]

I would say a scotus judge using an oft-cited symbol for a batshit conspiracy theory would be grounds for removal off the bench.

What if one of the liberal justices had an antifa sign in their lawn? You guys would be going nuts.

[ProbablyClueless]

There will always be someone to think everything and anything. For my part, whatever a justice wants to say as a private citizen in up to their discretion. If a Justice wants to support ANTIFA from the privacy of his or her home, that's up to them.

[OddBeMe]

Fair enough

[DrPepper12]

Volume makes no difference. Time manner and place restrictions are CONSTITUTIONAL restrictions. He took his hits from a private employer and that was that. They destroyed his carrer

[OddBeMe]

@DrPepper12 many right wing scotus judges should have their careers destroyed for basic bribery or conflicts of interest.
