Neither has any of elected leaders. They just give lip service

If you think BLM is "largely supported" you are out of your mind.

Especially after this violent rampage they've gone on this Summer.

Sorry.

He's definitely out of his mind if he's sticking to CNN and the Washington Post, how could he not be

Then all these people are confused when Donald Trump gets elected

I agree that our system needs an update if not an overhaul. I didn't know until BLM that police officers can murder someone and not be held accountable. The Daniel Shaver incident makes me sick. Google him if you don't know who that is. The perception is that this affects POC more. There is a dispute on if that is true or not so I won't get into that. If I thought I was being singled out because of my race (be it true or not) I would throw the cops some lip too. If I knew they had accountability I would be more likely to comply. That would make it easier on the officers as well. So I agree that this is something we need to look into and not brush off with "what-about-black-on-black-crime-but-officers-get-shot-too." People who do things like that are criminals and we hold criminals accountable.

In the same way I don't assume most Pro Life people support bombing clinics or jeering at women and doctors walking into them.
The Silent Majority and a few rational people on this sub-forum agree with you.

newsflash....

most of republicans do not support racism and do not support police misuse of force.

BLM is a front for a deeper darker political objective. You can be against racism and be against the BLM organization at the same time.

Right, this is not rocket science.

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.
Only fellow America hating Marxists agree with BLM. Some people who are uninformed about who and what BLM are, might read the name Black Lives Matter, and ignorantly infer otherwise.
