    Same here. I'm an American. I feel I do a pretty good job of providing for myself, contributing where I can, following the laws and paying my taxes. I treat people well who deserve it. I have no use for the groups above or any white, black, Asian, Indian, Hispanic and every other race of Americans who doesn't provide for themselves or causes trouble and commits crime.

    I'm an American. I don't need any other label.

    Nope. Not for me. I may not like a lot of things about how BLM went about issues, but I am not going to equate them with the Klan or Nazis. Heck, I don't even equate them with Antifa. As far as the Black Panthers, which one? The old Black Panthers from the 60's, or the New Black Panther Party? I am fine with the old Black Panthers (except their socialist leanings), but the New Black Panthers are just a group that was co-opted by a guy expelled from the Nation of Islam for being too extreme.

    How did that catchy BLM chant go... pigs in a blanket, fry like bacon... or the other one was , what do we want? dead cops, when do we want it? now...
    Of course BLM denied any connection with the Dallas shooter, seemed like there were some of the others where they had to issue disclaimers...

    I feel happy when I hear hate speech, because it reminds me that I live in a free country.

    (think I'm gonna get that on a T shirt)

    "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend with my life, your right to say it."

    "I may not agree with what they have to say, but if they want to risk their life for it, go right ahead." would be my counter proposal.

    I think it's fine to join advocacy groups if you're into that kinda thing. The problem with groups, though, is that they rarely represent everyone's nuanced views, and so they tend to erode away those nuanced differences within the group if you're too much into it. I prefer an individual spirit.

    Thanks to everyone who replied thoughtfully!

    I saw this elsewhere and noticed it was a pretty diverse array of groups, all of which I (and generally INGO) consider quite distasteful. I also know INGO generally doesn't like the "threepers" for whatever reason(s), so I was curious to hear some thoughtful comments (which you all delivered :)). I'm not a "threeper" or however you say/type it, but of the groups that our country seems to be devolving into, they seemed to be the most reasonable. I don't feel a need to join any of them, but I figure it's good to know the who/what/why of the various groups.
