    "an international movement for the rights of black people from the African-American community that aims to fight violence against black people and systemic racism. The movement regularly organizes protests against police brutality against black people and against racial inequality in the US judiciary. The Black Lives Matter's trademark is a raised black fist, borrowed from the symbol of the autonomists"

    What do you think about this movement? Personally, despite my contempt for racism and all discrimination, I have mixed feelings about them.

    I believe all lives matter.

    It's hard to take the BLM protesters seriously. Maybe I'll change my opinion when the number one cause of death for a black man (up to age 40) is no longer being murdered by another black man.

    BLM does nothing to improve the lives of Blacks. BLM does nothing to protect the lives of Blacks, it does nothing to protect the Black Family, it does nothing to end Racism against Blacks. It actually does the opposite, it creates Racism against Blacks, it destroys the Black Family and Community, it increases the likelihood of Blacks being killed. All the top members of the BLM movement are devout Communist or Socialist. The only Black Lives BLM cares about, are the ones that can be used to further their political movement. BLM has not done a single thing to improve the lives of Blacks other than those of their top leadership. BLM has collected millions of dollars in donations and nothing is spent improving the lives of ordinary Blacks anywhere. They don't spend any money helping poor Blacks, they don't spend any money improving Black Education, they don't spend any money helping Black Businesses.

    To me they are shakedown artists who have the full support of the media. After GF and ensuing riots they basically shamed businesses and liberal leaders into supporting them and like Neophyte has said they have done nothing for the betterment of black people. In my opinion they have set race relations back 30 to 40 years. They have been given milions of dollars and the only they have yo show for it, is that one of the founding members have bought four houses in predominantly white neighborhoods. People need to quit listening to msm and get the truth.

    Report on BLM founders.
    2 admitted they are Marxist;

    In a Facebook post labeling Black Lives Matter as a Marxist movement, PragerU included a video interview with Carol Swain, a Black conservative and former professor at Vanderbilt and Princeton universities. She said, "Now, the founders of Black Lives Matter, they’ve come out as Marxists."

    Swain alluded to Black Lives Matter’s three co-founders, who are still featured prominently on the group’s website — Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi. Their primary backgrounds are as community organizers, artists and writers. Swain, though, was referring to a newly surfaced interview:

    "We do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia, in particular, are trained organizers; we are trained Marxists. We are superversed on, Marxist ideological theories. And I think what we really try to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many Black folks."

    Basically there ideaology is steal from everybody else to enrich themselves. And they did. They brought in close to 100 million dollars last years from companies that declared themselves "woke." Thar money went straight to their pockets. Like I said it's not a movement, it's a scam and a shakedown.

    The leaders of BLM are also followers of the teachings of Louis Farrakhan, an admitted racist and an advocate of the violent overthrow of the U.S. Government.

    BLM probably has accomplished more to further divide the U.S. then any other group other than the Dems party.

    I'm not racist, but BLM is nothing more than the KKK for black people. They are a hate group, pure and simple.

    The actual unwarranted deaths BLM is protesting about in 2019 is 12 people. As a result of BLM's protests and the capitulating to their demands, over 1,000 unwarranted deaths have taken place. So in order to save 12 people, BLM has murdered over 1,000 people, they need to go take a class in economics, but then again they are communists.

    Is it possible to separate "BLM" the movement, from "BLM" the hashtag?

    I accept the above - that the movement is corrupt etc - but, as a 3 word statement, that brings black and white people together in support of black lives, well, mattering..?

    Because All Lives Matter is a more unifying statement, but it is discarded by BLM as non-relevant. Which increases the divide.

    Read;

    PolitiFact | Larry Elder mislabels statistics on fatal shootings by police

    There are other sites with the stats. More un-armed whites are killed by police by an almost 2:1 ratio.

    Where are the protests and riots about that?

    Oh yeah, MOST people don't listen to domestic terrorist groups like BLM, National Socialist Movement, KKK,
    Hammerskin Nation, and Atomwaffen Division, American Identity Movement (AIM) (who, like BLM, publicly
    oppose violence but at the same time, inspire people to fight-with-force).

    But unfortunately there are those few who believe rioting, looting, and killing tend to be quick to gather
    and make it seem like the whole nation is behind them.

    The Main-Stream-Media and liberal politicians are just too chicken-shit to call them what they are; Terrorists.

    Think Maxine Waters here. She has now shown her true colors in urging violence by those who act with violence
    to be violent once again.

    Please inform everyone in just what BLM (or those other ones I listed) has done to help those they pretend
    to represent.
    They are all too happy to take your money, but spending it on something good just never seems to happen.

    Mixed on them. Mostly because where I am? They hold a protest. Do their march. Make their point. Call it a day. When people try to break the police line to "confront them"? or Yell shit like "GO BACK TO X YOU LAZY ASSES!" (short explain that is a majority black town and that was yelled at a march that walked down a major road from Point A to Point B, arranged transport back in vehicles). Local cops removed THAT instigator. Nothing went down. No riot. No damage. But our local cops are told "we pay you WELL. You dont get "Well I spoke words!" if it violates law. You will be FIRED if you do!".

    The movement that is needed is an "accountability for all" movement.

    Here is what I mean. People, dont physically resist. Cops? Being filmed? Being asked what the charge is? For the WARRANT before you are let in? Not the end of the world and not resisting. People? Be nice to the cops. They do have a difficult job. Cops? Dont act like asses because of that. People? Stop telling cops you pay their salaries. Cops? Remember taxes pay yours. That you answer to the local government in the end. Not each other. Not "just the union". People? Comply and file a complaint later. Cops/department/police union? RIght now, with things that have come out when cities dropped public release of discipline records? You have been caught in more than one place where complaints were filed and there is no record it was looked into at all. So, maybe the solution is that a Member of the City Council or a Civilian needs to be in there too to make sure some departments dont summary dismiss or not even investigate complaints. Too much (note the caps) APPARENT OPTIC of "well they dont walk a beat. They dont know!". People? Again. Comply. Cops? From now on? The WHOLE interaction, not the "half a second" matter. If you were aggressively ESCALATING and there is proof? That WILL be taken into account.

    Let me point this out. We seem to, now, accept these cops who look a lot like the roid rage guys I knew at the gym in my teens? Got angry and things happened, while insisting that civilians be nothing but calm and even voiced to police AT ALL TIMES OR ELSE.

    Finally. Lets end this BS of "Civil Asset Forfeiture". For those who dont know? Cops can, seriously, stop you. Find money THEY FEEL is too much to be for a legal reason. And without charging you? Take is as "suspected criminal proceeds" and even if you are never charged KEEP IT until YOU sue and prove otherwise. Then when there is a judgement? In around 10 cases I know of? They say things like "we suspected drugs, so we gave it to the DEA! We dont have it! Cant give it back!". Or? "We cant trace what happened to it so we cant give it back.". I have also watched judges get red faced and say "Cash in fungible. So? You are going to give them OTHER CASH or be held in contempt!".

    A lot of the top people in the BLM are doing sus shit with the money they get, I don't really care about it I only agree that police need to learn to deescalate situations more often instead of using force and they should try harder to have friendlier police interactions with the communities they're in. The super quick escalation and aggressiveness effects all races negatively just look at the Danier Shaver incident for instance, something should certainly be done about it within reason without being vindictive against all police or trying to defund them.
