I don't have much time for BLM mainly because of their members screaming obscenities if anyone dare say 'All lives matter' but this chap readily accepts all lives matter and speaks a lot of sense.

To paraphrase watshisname ... some very fine people on both sides

All progress to see each others points of views and move a bit closer together in discussion has to be worth it.

A shame more people didn't see this Talbot.
I think the message of Black lives matter was always coming with the "... as do all other lives" but it's lost in the snappy slogan.

I'm not sure that everyone in the crowd was really listening to this man, but still -- I'm impressed and pleased to see them being allowed to speak in the first place. I don't for a second agree with Trump supporters but I can certainly respect whoever it was leading that rally for allowing this to happen; and perhaps some in the crowd listened genuinely to the message.

Thanks for sharing.
Incidentally, if you missed the video OG then I might provide a brief transcript, but summary is: BLM protesters attend a Trump rally, are shouted at, but the leader of the rally invites them on stage, when they explain that Black Lives Matter is essentially about wanting the same thing that Trump supporters do, only for Black people as well.
Agreed Jim, some of the crowd seemed unsettled early on at least - but everything has to start with a small step.
