Therefore, it is definitely racist.
I think it's a political movement whose goals are:
- Make blacks above the law
- Give favorable treatment of blacks in employment and college admissions
- Damage the peace and tranquility of those that oppose them
- Defund police to make it easier to use their violent thugs to get whatever they want
- Payback for ill treatment historically based on skin coloration
- Establish Black Supremacy

Yes, I would agree with you.

Yes, I would agree with you.
Also this is all about Retribution and PUNISHMENT. Punish Whitey. Especially White Males.

Yeah, the intent behind it is to include your own life if you are not a black person. So nefarious.

Same here.

Black lives matter is a hate group and domestic terrorist organization, with the hypocrisy of ignoring the elephant in the room: black on black violence.

It’s the equivalent of treating an ingrown toe nail over a gun shot wound.

Change it to: "Only certain Black lives Matter" (those killed by white cops)."

Forget the black on black killings that happen daily...and which is way more than any other kind of black killings...

The answer is.... no. There's a third option.

We all know that All Lives Matter, but all lives are not being targeted by the police, so saying All Lives Matter at this time undermines the Black Lives Matter message.

That's all this is about. Support Black Lives at this time.
i.e. another way to say "Cracker is Racist". It's a euphemism that has failed and the poll here speaks for itself.

BLM is going nowhere as long as it absolves Blacks from ANY responsibility for their actions and/or violent actions taken in it's name.

I won't support any hate group, that denigrates the police, burns and tears down buildings, is silent when stores are looted in it's name, and which pisses on George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the history of the USA. And it's so completely petty that we're now pulling pancake mix and ice cream bars off the shelves. If a group wanted to be disliked by so many, this is how to do it.


And yes I'm sure there are some good people associated with it that are indeed trying to do some good things. But cleaning up the street begins in front of your own house. Show some humility and you might get a sympathetic ear.

Apparently the BLM movement a rating system. South side of Chicago doesn't count.

Because of these (many) disparities, BLM will get push back. Again ... it's a snake eating it's own tail.

The poll here reflects what you know it reflects.
That this sub forum is full of Trump voters because people like me have stopped posting and visiting the forum regularly for reasons I'm not allowed to talk about. This forum is a bubble and safe haven for Trump supporters. None of the polls here are a true reflection of anything. I havent even voted in the poll.
It's a shame. Like Fox News, msnbc and any news outlet you care to name, and the rest of the media including facebook, everyone is only ever seeing one side of any story.
It's particularly sad to have happened in a country where free speech was once considered paramount.
America has always been slow to change. Sadly in these times of division I'm afraid change is even slower.
