BLM is a group with bad tactics and a huge percent of BLM members hold racist views. But the biggest problem in BLM isn't the racists but the fact that they purposefully incite running mad in the streets for no reason. Most BLM leaders are college educated people, but they will often incite kids from the hood to do crazy random stuff like looting and fires. If they can keep their protests more civil and also force the racists out by making "leadership" as diverse as the membership then I will view them more positively.

At this point I'm just so bored with everyone being labeled by their race. I thought our goal was a post-racial society. It's just so simplistic to me to label everyone by their race.

Aren't we better than this? I can barely watch the news anymore without thinking that.

People who are poor or middle class protesting over Colin Kaepernick not getting the job of his choice after he brought politics to the workplace is what floored me. Really? You guys are so upset over this pampered dude?

We're all so tribal that we can no longer spot the selfish *******s on "our side" because the *******s on "their side" are "so much worse."

American politics have become so banal. I get why Trump won. I have enjoyed his insults at both the left's sacred cows and the right's sacred cows. These parties are so hypocritical.

What do you think they are protesting about....jobs. They want them but they just aren't there for them. When was the last president who cared. Carter maybe, I just don't know. No president has done anything. Presidents are all for the rich and could less about the rest of us

Why is it that any time someone mentions neo Nazis and white supremacists right wingers always run with blm and George soros is that your go to rather than admit Nazis are bad and what the guy did when he ran over protestors who were peaceful was wrong. Instead all you guys here care about is saying but but they did it! And for the record only a small group of blm changed the pigs in the blanket thing. But go ahead tell us how many people blm murdered?

Blacks disproportionately killed by cops
"All lives matter"
White supremacist commits terrorist act
"All sides" 2 blame
See how that works?

The anti-BLM movement died today, due to Charlottesville rabble chanting "white lives matter" last night then one of their own slaughtered a white woman and maimed god only knows how many.

"White lives who agree with us matter more than white or black or brown lives who don't" doesn't look well on a placard or t-shirt.

So. I support BLM more than ever after Philando Castile was murdered, and I really don't care what Americans think about the movement
