This is a general approval poll. Add up all the perceived good and bad in your mind about the group.

Do you approve or disapprove of them?

This is a poll on the GROUP, not the slogan. Most normal people agree that all lives matter, including those of blacks.

I hope nobody says "yes" that they approve of them.

I am a person of color and I think BLM and Antifa are both terrorist groups! Neither one of them have done anything to improve Black Lives but have burnt and looted plenty of Black businesses and assaulted and even killed people of all races.

I tried to rep you, but...


While I can agree that any wrongful death by the Police is wrong, I will never agree with the destruction of public and private property, looting, attacking white people simple because they are white or the rhetoric spewed by racists.

BLM does not deserve to be taken seriously as an advocacy group for any cause. They as you said, are a hate group, committing domestic terrorism.

If I wanted to murder, steal and destroy my community I’d strongly agree.

Since you're making a very strong statement, I'd like to know your thoughts and responses on a few questions to start off with:

So then what are you if you don't support them?

Also, what's your law enforcement (preferably federal law enforcement such as FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc.) background and credentials for being able to make that determination?

Does the "terrorist" designation apply to everyone who supports BLM, including those who condemn violence and property destruction?

Would the "terrorist" designation also apply to right wing militia groups that have committed acts of violence and property destruction as well, such as the boogaloo? Or other racist/nationalist/white supremacist groups that have engaged in acts of intimidation, property damage, violence, and even mass killings, such as Patrick Crusius (Wal Mart in El Paso) or Dylan Roof in the church in Charleston, SC?

I don’t understand how ANYONE can approve of a racist terrorist group that has incentivized massive destruction nationwide, spews hateful venom against whites, and seeks to disrupt the formation of stable, nuclear families.
