I agree, that was my point.

Yes it does. Blacks killing Blacks is no more unusual than Whites killing Whites. The Black Lives Mantra is between Law Enforcement and Blacks.

Then why are there sooo many Whites and others in this movement? Blacks alone are not driving this movement. What you should have said was "Whites, like yourself" who don't care about the rate of White crime in your own communities don't care about BLM.

Or, "Black lives matter just as much as anybody else's life".

Many non-blacks are so focused on the title of the organization, they misunderstand the message the organization wants the rest of the country to receive. It is that misunderstanding that causes many white people to resent the organization and they dismiss the"BLM" movement as just another racist, anti-white group, giving them no credence. Just as they did the Black Panthers back in the mid to late 1960's.

They're not misunderstanding it. They hate it. It's something that doesn't involve the majority of them.....

Yup! Whites are very involved with this movement.

BLM is a sociological engineered movement that has its roots in traditional Black struggle. Naw, many whites misunderstand so much about Black people, and even the true history of the United States. I don't expect whites, especially ignorant/misinformed/uneducated whites, to understand anything relating to Black people. Most whites don't care about Black people's existence, historical narratives and experiences, and some vocal about their disinterest and socio-pathic hatred for the Black race.

Well, most thinking and sane Black people, decent men/women of European stock and other outstanding human beings HATE white supremacy and that involves the majority of us.

I don't care how many whites are "in the movement".Any misunderstanding of their message is from the name of the groupe.All Lives Matter,correct?
