    Or they believe in the cause.

    But, yeah, movie theaters not being open is why thousands are still in the streets. That's probably it. They are all just cosplayers killing time until Oregon is liberated from the lockdowns.

    It’s *Portland* Hell, I love the town, but it’s long been a place that’s a little politically and ideologically rowdy.

    Atlanta Dream players and coaches wear BLM shirts over uniforms before game vs. Dallas.

    Guess they don’t care what Kelly Loeffler thinks. Good for them.

    Let's just say that all 250 million (or whatever the number of 18-older) adults in the country say "Black Lives Matter!"

    Then what?

    This is exactly what I think now.

    There's no point to any of this. It's just dangerous, troublesome and unnecessary chaos.

    Now, it's up to government entities, police agencies and general population organizations to discuss and implement changes in approaches, attitudes and procedures. These protests, and any resulting clashes, are doing nothing but inciting more violence and wrong-doing.

    Individually speaking, the best, clearest way to protest racism is to not be racist.

    ANGRY OLD RICH WHITE MAN. YELLS AT. CLOUDS!

    Hall of Fame football coach and former NFL broadcaster Mike Ditka spent much of the 2016 season voicing his opposition to Colin Kaepernick's protest against racial injustice and police brutality.
    And while George Floyd's death in May sparked a nationwide movement against police brutality, the now-80-year-old hasn't changed his perspective on the country's systemic racism. In fact, he's back to saying the same things he said in 2016 and 2017.
    "If you can't respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country. That's the way I feel. Of course, I'm old fashioned. So, I'm only going to say what I feel … You don't protest against the flag, and you don't protest against this country who's given you the opportunities to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen. So, I don't want to hear all the crap."
