Main issue I have with BLM is they perverted an extremely serious issue that all Americans need to be focused on.
Was on this issue before BLM and have seen it all the way through. If people would've been focused on the principle of all of this (had real leadership) a lot of progress could have already been made on the issue. Instead, now you just have races fighting. Regardless of anyone's initial intent.
Agree with the above poster. This is more about the law. Why we have laws. And what this country was founded on. The Mike Brown case was just a single case in who knows how many cases where American's rights could have been violated. Pick one.
A victim is a victim. Nobody should be abused by the state. If they didn't work for the state they wouldn't have the power to abuse someone. We can't give our government power to abuse us or violate our constitutional rights. In every aspect of our lives.
Do conservatives know that 'The Movement,' what BLM was trying to stop, already has conservative supporters? As in literally conservative people like our viewpoint and what we have to say.

Good post. We the people have to hold government accountable. instead we get partisanship.
From a founder of The Movement (the group BLM tried to co-opt). Ferguson and The Movement were united when BLM hit the scene. The whole concept of the "black movement" was inspired by Ferguson, not BLM. BLM was the group funded by George Soros (the irony) and the DNC establishment (funders).
Edit: Another thing to note. While on the topic. BLM are "Marxist." Not relevant to the race issue, but just goes to show that they never would've even been around if it hadn't been for the organic movements they tried to piggyback. Black people weren't aware of their hidden agendas.
