The true BLM movement that is about LGBTQ rights and dismantling the western civilization's idea of family? You're afraid some bad actors might tarnish the group and their cause?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you against fighting for LGBTQ rights?

Chants of "Save those kids!" and "I'm calling DPS on you!" along with the usual obscenities.

That's the way to win hearts and minds.

Not at all - I just think BLM should be more transparent with what they're about. They sure aren't about black lives mattering.

Ever heard of hunting? Or personal defense which they proved is needed in this day and age.

He that hath no sword, sell his robe and buy a sword. The bible does tell people to arm themselves so. No reason AT ALL for marxist terrorists to try and storm a church. But hey go ahead this helps Trump

So you’re saying it make sense for BLM (an organization whose mantra is that black lives matter) to focus on fighting for gay rights instead of the black murders of other blacks (including children) that account for 97% of black murders?

I like the way those church members stood in a solid line and didn't budge. Real men.

It is fairly transparent what they are about, honestly. Unfortunately, a few bad actors can tarnish the group, if all someone looks at is the bad actors. City Data PoC is extremely right wing, so it tends to selectively show only the bad videos from BLM. Conversely, on extremely left wing forums I visit, you see threads that have hundreds of videos of cops inciting violence, beating people, etc. with no consequence.

If you ONLY look at the bad actors (on the left or right), it's easy to fall deeper into an extreme right wing or extreme left wing view. One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make in times like this is assuming the 5% of people who are bad actors represent an entire group.
