Racism is definitely alive and well. This election just legitimized it, which is unconscionable. Is this really what we have to look forward to for the next four years? God help us.

If you want to see racism, you're looking at the wrong race.
Please define what Black Lives Matter really means.
Does it only refer to their claim that police officer want to shoot them?
It can't refer to ensuring that the lives of Blacks be spared, because if that were the case the Blacks wouldn't be shooting and killing each other nearly every night of the week in major cities across the country.
Perhaps I missed it, but still waiting to see if anyone knows what BLM means or stands for since it's confusing to me.
Hillary actually broke with party tradition and did not seek the endorsement of the Police Union.
This was indicative enough of where she stood in the very real BLM vs Police war.
She did manage to meet with BLM leaders and stood with them as expressed through her speeches
By distancing herself from the Police forces of the land, she lost the confidence of many voters in the middle.
At the very least, support law enforcement in the land, what is wrong with Hillary ?
Incorrect on the BLM part! It was BLM who called her out for the 'superpredator' remark she made 20 years ago! (reactions to that speech taken waaaay out of context, by the way!).
In this situation, she was damned if she did, damned if she didn't! BLM attacked her 'superpredator' speech, while pro-police attacked her for her perceived anti-police stance!
Of all the scapegoats which can be chosen for a Trump victory, BLM is pretty far down the list. But what ever floats your angry, white boat...white supremacists made a concerted effort to infiltrate and turn the GOP over to their cause after Obama's victory in 2008, and it worked.
Sounds like the statement of a bigot but it can't be. That would be against the TOS and mods would delete it. It is confusing. When does bigotry become racist ? When it identifies a group by the color of their skin ?
Yet it identifies a group and demonizes them without evidence. Only unsupported false accusations to fit the propaganda of liberal media. Why can't media be shut down when it promotes bigotry and racism ? Force was use to advance civil rights. Why can't force be use again to shut down a domestic enemy promoting violence through bigotry and racism. That isn't protected by the first amendment. The first amendment doesn't protect criminal acts or conspiracy to commit crime or violence.
"Pledging allegiance to Black Lives Matter doesn't mean you're a member of it! I can have sex with a girl, and yell out 'Wu Tang'! That don't mean I'm a member of the Wu Tang Clan....."!

At that point of the election campaign, the top story was the shootings in LA and MN. Hillary was clearly on the side of BLM then. By not looking for the endorsement of the Police Unions she was sending out a message to all.
She was either on the side of BLM or on the side of the Police.
In choosing BLM , Hillary lost millions of votes. Might have even cost her election.
