re: #188 Bass Reeves

Well….they got criminal justice reform on the radar (specifically reform of the police and judicial side of the house, and not just the offenders). Black people have been saying that the criminal justice system has been unfairly targeting them since, y’know, forever. And because of the increased scrutiny and use of social media, other people are starting to become aware of it.

I’m not sure who they’ve hurt. I’m not being snarky, I don’t know who the BLM movement has caused actual harm to. Emotional, yes. Actual, no.

They made Sanders into an aged buffoon, and tried to split HRC from the black electorate while simultaneously focusing racist whites against the “anti-police” Dems in general.

Criminal justice and police abuse was never off the radar. I’ve been a member of SPLC for a couple decades. My last action with them was last Saturday.
