You're not against affirmative action? I'm in favor of meritocracy, and looking into suspected racial discrimination if it can be proven to be true.

And yeah, I think it's possible to hold some conservative ideas if you consider yourself to be liberal overall. But I don't think being against the specific group (Black Lives Matter) is a conservative belief. It's based on the actions of those within that group.

I actually think Rubio is pretty funny in a good way.

I cannot laugh at Trump anymore. He really scares me.

I support it in the states because of the historic racial biases that we still see to this day running strong in many areas. It may not be necessary for some places, but that doesn't mean that it's abhorrent.

Black Lives Matter is a pretty massive movement to paint based off of a couple of sexy news stories featuring some of the supporters. If you think that the group is legitimately racist, then you are blatantly looking past what the group actually stands for.

I don't think black people should be anything other than equal, and would support any group that fights racial injustice when it is required. But I'm not going to support a group that I disagree with in the way they conduct themselves, and one that I think inflames racial tensions as opposed to helping.

Except for the fact that people will read your newspaper in droves if you report on it despite it being a drop in the bucket compared to what the bulk of the movement actually stands for. No more Breitbart for you, mate.

It's been absolutely ages, but somehow I'm only just seeing this. Thank Yeezy that this man was not convicted.

Look at the horrible language used in this article. Absolutely astounding that left-wing propagandists aren't held to the same standard of integrity that we place on right-wing propagandist, who are rightly called out on.

Pathetic journalism that has no basis in fact, only there to perpetuate a feminist and social justice agenda.

So what was he doing then, just posting opinions and using the hashtag? Any links to these tweets?
