There should be a big difference between the statement Black Lives Matter and the Black Lives Matter organization

No, that's not it - although your accusation about my "ideology" (along with my cowardice, etc.) is. You are doing what leftists do: accuse people of being racist (and other negative stuff), while they themselves demonstrate it.

Yeah... You and Rachel are definitely birds of a feather.
What birds of a feather? Pointing out that blacks need to make changes in their own community is so verboten in your world? We have to side with the leftists who blame every single problem on whites and racism?

Yea and people on the right support a man who said they were good Neo Nazis, and Neo Confederates in the Charlottesville protests. That says a lot about a lot of people

If you're going to bring up the lie from years ago - Neo Nazis fine people - then, bye-bye. Quite nervy as Democrats stand behind the racist, anti-Semitic BLM.

Even Black people knows BLM is propaganda and hate group. They only show up to disrupt white people's livelihood while black neighborhoods are having murder after murder. When you tell liberals that they have blood on their hands they ignore the it and said it doesn't stop the police killing blacks. I guess it depends on who's keep the score card.

Blacks are attending funerals every week of blacks being gunned down by gun violence and these white BLM protestors are still disrupting police and want to abolish all police.

Why does BLM not call out the criminals that are vandalizing and destroying statues and monuments in their name?

BLM is a criminal enterprise at this point. They need to be treated as such.
I don't have an answer to nor do I understand your obscure question about protesting White owned businesses. Are they supposed to exempt from protests?

BLM had repeatedly called out rioting & looting as counter productive and not the purpose of the protests. They're not a police force, and combating looting is not their mission. What else do you want them do? Disband until looters stop looting?

BLM's solution to police is not too eradicate. It's to reinvest. If you read anything outside of Rightwing trash blogs, you'd probably know that.

BLM does not need to call out anyone committing crimes, whether that's looting, vandalism, or Black on Black crime, bc that's not their mission. Why is this so hard to get through your head. Their mission is police accountability & systemic abuses. They don't need to talk about anything else. If you think looting & graffiti is the most important issue, then go ahead and start your organization tackling that.

It's pretty enlightening that 65% of respondents so far can not agree with the mere statement that black lives matter. After 19 pages I haven't seen anyone articulate that position though.
