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.
Neither has any of elected leaders. They just give lip service
BLM is largely supported even among white people this forum has skewed radical right over the last 5 years. I rarely even bother to read the crazy opinions on here no one takes most of the nonsense posted on here seriously.

If you think BLM is "largely supported" you are out of your mind.
Especially after this violent rampage they've gone on this Summer.
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.
Yes because I interpret the bulk of the movement to be centered on legitimate complaints about how law enforcement's techniques needlessly harms Black people. I view the violent element to be the minority of BLM, often including ANTIFA and other White Marxists. If most Black people are on the radical left why did they vote Biden over Bernie?
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.
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.
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.
