My message, BLM activists are racist, violent, destructive, irrelevant people who try to hurt reputations of law abiding, successful, middle class black citizens in this country.
What will happen? Nothing
My opinion.

Less than 0.1% of all murdered blacks are from white cops.
Ignoring over 90% of black murderers is at best foolish and at worst a racist agenda.
Most cops are good people who are working a dangerous job that get thanked with grief from large segments of society. Your tactics are making cops afraid to do their job and thus more blacks are murdered by people who are not white cops.
I have no message, those people aren't listening. The odds are over 900 to one that one of their relatives will be gunned down by a young black male before they are killed by a white cop.
Don't disrupt political events or anyone speaking for that matter, civil disobedience doesn't mean blocking highway traffic which has happened throughout the U.S. by BLM activist, stop encouraging violence against law enforcement and for the love of god protest the murders of African Americans by African Americans since they outnumber by a large margin the murder of African Americans by whites. I have no problem with a Black Lives Matter movement but do find it very hypocritical that they are protesting against the wrong race.
They are a joke, look at the scenes erupting all over the country, I'm saying this only as an observer, I am not a racist, these groups literally act like a pack of wild animals. If whites, asians, blue\purple\green acted that way I'd call it out too.
If they want to be taken seriously, they should get their communities in order.
As of right now I give them as much credibility as Feminists, both groups driven by hate and playing the victim card as hard as its ever been done.
You are absolutely right. I for one find the group disgusting and routinely wonder what Dr. King would think of the group if he were still alive?
You have some valid points.
You've totally screwed up communicating those points to the point that you are simply alienating most of America with your misbehavior. Virtually no one is sympathizing with you. You are hurting your own cause.
My message is, if black lives REALLY matter, why are you not concerned about the thousands and thousands of your young men , women, and children who are killed every day in this country by other blacks ? It seems you only focus on the small number of blacks who die at the hands of white people , and you totally ignore the far greater number who die because of the actions of a black person.
When they are asked this question, they can never give you a straight answer, instead, they dance around the issue.

The only way to get things done is to get attention. I support Black Lives Matters and have been to quite a few discussions and rallies. And I'm white - but Jewish and a woman who benefits from my ancestors and those who came before me fighting for the rights of the minority. And yes, that meant inconveniencing others. Women would never have gotten the vote if we didn't inconvenience the men in power to do so. Suffragettes were spoken about much like BLM is today.
And if you still don't get why Black Lives Matters isn't racist or exclusionary, and why All Lives Matters is missing the point, think about disease research. Each year, I walk as a survivor at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Light the Night Walk which raises money and attention for blood cancers. Imagine if someone came marching in waving signs yelling "Light the Night for ALL CANCERS!" Obnoxious and incorrectly assuming that because we are drawing attention to a subtype of cancers that we are ignoring all others, right? Yeah. Same thing.
