So UT is in the process of donating money to an organization , that’s not an organization , even though their websites say they are an organization, and you are saying they can represent both black lives and LGBTQ? 🤔

So they are fighting for LBGT rights as well? Sounds like a misrepresentation of the name to me then as this would include white people as well. I guess white lives matter if they are gay.

For the millionth time, BLM does not just mean literally black lives only. This is getting old trying to explain this to every one.

They never said remove the black male. They said they disrupt the notion that a nuclear family is the only way way (they used the word required) to raise a family.

Yes, that is DAF and destructive as hell. And that it is one of your core beliefs means you have no desire to improve black lives.

They want to disrupt something that has barely existed over the last 50 years, and whose absence is the primary reason for so much poverty within black communities.

Do you think the student athletes would support the LGBT movement aspect? This is driven by racism, not support for LGBT. About as clear as hijacking a movement as far as I can tell.

Pretty sure there is no definitive statement yet saying UT is directly funding BLM. And are you confused from what I said the other day? BLM is a collective movement. Individual chapters do their own thing. Yes, there is a website. Chapters do their own thing. Libertarian practice in action!
I still don't get the trashing LGBTQ+ folks? Can a movement not encapsulate different things?

They don’t want to destroy nuclear families. Is reading comprehension this difficult for you? They want to disrupt the notion that it’s the only successful way to raise a family

Right, but if a significant portion of the fan base revolted and revenue to UT dropped as a result of this stunt, then he does need to appease fans because buts in seats are what pays his and others contracts

The network televising UT games do pay attention to TV ratings.

If enough people don’t want to support Black Lives Matter and don’t buy Tickets or watch the games on TV, that presents a Huge problem for Woke UT.

Yep. Vast majority of Millennials and gen z folks don't have a problem with the LGBTQ+ movement.

You are reaching. They want to "disrupt the traditional Western family". Take it what one will. It is just a repackaged phrasing of the African proverb that Obama used..."It takes a village to raise a child". We can debate the actual meaning of that all night long.

If BLM is truly all inclusive, why not call themselves All Lives Matter instead of getting pissed off when people say that? Why not give themselves a name that fits it all under one umbrella? Sometimes, the best way to fight your critics is to take away their criticism.

I don't necessarily agree with everything BLM stands for, or the tactics that are used in their name, but I do not believe the core mission is to divide, nor the core message to hate.

We need to learn to stop hating each other for being different. Live your life the way you choose, and respectfully allow others to live theirs. I don't understand the mindset that many people have that others should conform to their worldview. Skin color, sexual orientation, gender orientation, religion, politics...It's okay to be different. It does not justify hate.

It’s kinda funny. We know a lot of gay people and they seem to do great for themselves, hell most of them are successful business owners. They have none of these oppressive issues. Same can be said for every black friend or acquaintance of mine. They do great. Even my youngest kids, whom are black, are treated wonderfully everywhere we go. Racism and bigotry aren’t the problem some people want everyone to believe that it is. There are problems in this country and those two excuses are the scapegoat to defend pos individuals.

I didn't name the movement.

Otherwise, I agree.

I wish they could find a black charity that is more worthy for sure. I am rather surprised they stepped in this to be honest. How about providing the funds to historically black colleges?

It would be more clear where those funds are going if it went to an HBCU non profit.
