Cities where lots of BLM are located are targeting whites, these crimes aren't often spoken about on main stream media because they go against their narrative.
Shows how little you know about Charlotte...

Outside of those two and the Dali Museum in Tampa, I don't think any other museum in any of those cities are really "showcased" in some prominent way.

New Orleans and Birmingham alone do NOT have more museums than Charlotte, Orlando, and Tampa collectively. Where are you getting that from? New Orleans may come close because it has a lot of historic houses that double as museums, but that's not true for Birmingham at all.

Louisville and Birmingham also have more cohesive Theater Districts as well.
Theater districts are nice, but lots of cities don't have all of their performing arts venues clustered in one area but they still have plenty of venues (Atlanta is a good example).

As far as Entertainment Districts go; outside of Uptown there's Noda, and Central Ave, in Tampa there's Ybor and maybe Hyde Park, and in Orlando there really isn't any other significant Entertainment District outside of DT. On the other hand, in the cores of Bham, Nola, and Lville, you have several throughout.
Outside of Uptown proper, Charlotte has SouthEnd, NC Music Factory, NoDa, Plaza-Midwood, and Elizabeth.--all of which are in the core of the city. So you'd be wrong about only Birmingham, New Orleans, and Louisville having multiple entertainment districts.

And when it comes to food, I personally have New Orleans, Birmingham, and Louisville above Tampa, Orlando, Charlotte.

I can see this one.

You left Austin out of your analyses though I see.

In New Orleans there's NOMA, The WWII Museum, and the NO Mint. In Birmingham there's the Civil Rights Museum, BMOA, and the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum (Largest Motorcycle Museum in the World). But outside of those, NO and Bham have a larger collection of smaller museums or historical places converted into museums; Negro League Museum, Vulcan, Sloss Furnace, Audubon, Jazz Museum, Ogden, and etc.

BLM is not an organization, it's a movement.

Nashville has been on fire lately but it comes with a cost, price of living in Nashville has gone way up in the past 5 years.

NOLA, yes; Birmingham, no. Birmingham has more museums than one might think, but it most certainly doesn't have more total than Charlotte, Orlando, or Tampa combined. It has a similar number as each of them though.

Did you not see the video? They are targeting white people. Have you not seen the police that have been killed by these people? https://youtu.be/X-iIG1V5mY8 Go to about 45 seconds into the video. "Beat up any white person" and "no white people better be comin down Sherman". That sounds pretty targeting. You can also see them ealier beat a white guy up, so please stop being naive. I spread the truth.

At 2:00 in the video, " They beaten up every white person". Tell me again how is that not targeting whites?

You have no evidence any white people have been targeted in Charlotte, you are just repeating what you heard agitators say in a video. It is disingenuous of you to paint "they" meaning all protestors as violent. You are perpetuating the same derogatory narrative of certain media outlets. Please stop.
