BLM is a flawed organization - even their slogan is flawed. They themselves don’t believe that all black lives matter. Their ONLY concern is black lives killed by white police. That and creating a Marxist society.

The main thing that MOST want is EQUALITY -- this is what the majority demands... the BLM radicals added to that soup and made it venom, but most are Not in agreement with the riots, violence looting etc... but is this the
sword they need to be heard?? There is NO more Martin Luther King, a TRUE voice, that all can hear,,, BLM ORG. is the only, although terrible, alternative.
Unfortunately it still seems NOBODY IS LISTENING! WHY?
