As to the name BLM, if it was just the name, but they had a decent ideology and wanted to help black people, most would not care.
The NAACP has colored in their name and the UNCF has negro in theirs. But both organizations are not anti-white, or anti-police. Instead they try to help blacks, especially poorer ones.
They are also not radical Marxist nor communists, like the BLMers are.

In todays world it is okay to have "black" in a name but not "white". That is institutional racism.

In today's world organizations which contract with the government are sublet to a preference given to black owned businesses. That is institutional racism against whites.

BLM riots, loots, burns, terrorizes, and disrupts normal life.

Something tells me that any attempt to explain the difference to someone w/the aforementioned mindset would be no different than trying to explain color to a blind man.


White Lives Matter

.


It singles out a race in the name. That is discriminatory. That name should be removed just like all the others in today's world.

If we're judging entire groups of people by the poor actions of a select few, this turns into a very odd conversation. And to be clear, what does your response have to do with the subject (BLM being as racist as white supremacy?)

So let's not do that with either side in this conversation. Stay on topic. I'll repeat myself. BLM calls for equality. White Supremacist groups call for supremacy. The latter is by their nature more racist. If it was "black lives are superior", not "black lives matter", this would be a different conversation.

This is true for all Americans who don't want to work but not disabled. It is only supposed to be temporary

Words do not tell the story, actions do. I saw riots for days, weeks, and months across the country.


What about the equity of "blacks" being given preference in government contracts? Admission to higher learning? What about all the government programs direct specifically toward "blacks"? That is not equity!

People have learned to work the system to avoid work. Require those people to work on infrastructure projects in return for the "benefits" and the cost of those "programs" would drop like a rock.
