This article talks about the present President today believes in the group that was started about black lives mattering. There are people stating that the police lives matter.

Since the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's killer in 2013 and the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, the phrase "black lives matter" has become a rallying cry for a new chapter in the long black freedom struggle. Th is article visits the numerous misconseptions of the movement and explains the truths in depth.

Barbara Reynolds, who was a civil rights activist in the 1960's, shares her take on the international rights group Black Lives Matter. She explores the differences in the two rights movements and why she disagrees with how this new movement is being handled.

This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.

Should single people to allowed to adopt? This website fights for the equality of unmarried people and it discusses whether or not unmarried people should deserve more equal opportunity of being able to adopt a child. it explains first that there are so many children waiting to be adopted. Then the website also talks about how unmarried people actually want to adopt. 

Being married should not have any precedence over those who are not. Love is a universal concept that everyone has to offer. Women no longer need a man to provide for them, so why should one have to be married to love and care for a child? Especially if the willing parent has no issue providing the means to support the child. It is better than just leaving the child in a system that gives them no actual emotional support, which only contributes to abandonment and self-worth issues.

Personally I think anyone who is willing to tell themselves that they want to take in a child that is not born from their blood line and care for that child as if they are then all power to them, there are too many children out there that don't have homes and are put in the system until they age out and I think equality for single people is the right thing to do.

Social justice includes animal protection. Animals are just like humans and deserve protection just like we do.

Firstly, recognising that social justice includes animal protection involves acknowledging that how our behaviour affects animals matters both morally and politically. Moreover, it involves acknowledging it matters not merely because many humans care about the plight of animals. Rather, our behaviour matters because of its effect on the lives of animals themselves.

Climate change is a pressing matter that many individuals downplay the severity of. Greenland's melting glaciers are having a major impact on the rise of sea level that is plaguing the Earth. Understanding why they are melting, will help prepare for the rise in sea level.

I agree with this article and how it shows humanity has been messing up the ice sheets for awhile now. Also very interesting to learn that the ice sheet could recover itself in a short time but we continue to "warm" the water.

Not just Greenland, though Greenland is certainly the most apparent in proximity to Earth. While yes, humanity is rushing the process, the Earth naturally goes through the heating and cooling patterns that cause the ocean to rise and fall and glaciers to retreat and refreeze.

Should the FCC respect Net Neutrality? This article will give readers an idea of how they can be affected.

My concern over the repeal of net neutrality is the power it gives conglomerates over "use." we have all been subject to EULA contracts from things like computers and even kitchen appliances, and ISPs are no different. Removing net neutrality laws will silence vocal minorities, as well as curb online activism- where movements like the BLM organization were created and continue to flourish.

hello, I also posted an article about net neutrality. It is sad that it was repealed and many corporations could make a lot of money. Net Neutrality is so important, especially in the modern world.
