It's not two distinct movements. Nobody is saying that. There is an organization that is distinct from the movement. How is it that you still don't get this and act like a smartass about it? A large majority of America is down with the movement. 60% of whites. 60% of whites are not down with the ideology of the radicals in BLM.org. You have no idea what you're talking about. If 60% of whites were down with BLM.org, how would Trump stand a chance in any election? You can't separate the two. You're part of the problem.
Majorities Across Racial, Ethnic Groups Express Support for the Black Lives Matter Movement
Like I said, there are people like those in the BLM organization that know what the movement is about, and there are people being used by those people. It isn't that hard to get 60% of people to mouth the words you want them to when you use the semantically overloaded phrase "black lives matter" as your battle cry.
Axiom: We live in a systemically racist country where black people are under threat from all institutions, but primarily police that murder them in cold blood.
So this is the basis for the BLM movement, and it is an easily provable lie. The way I see it, there three ways to support this movement.
1. You don't actually know that's what the axiom is. You see "black lives matter" and agree because it is semantically obviously true.
2. People like you and most Dem politicians don't actually believe it. And it is obvious you don't really believe it because you say things like "Most cops are good", even though that isn't logically possible when you claim the entire system is racist. They justify repeating claims they know are false by talking about historical oppression, or talking about how what black people feel is real, etc etc. These people believe the solution is to religiously and virtuously agree that you "see" the problem. And if everyone just did that, there wouldn't be a problem.
3. People that actually believe the claim. If you believe the system is racist, murders POC, and has been evil since 1619, the only way to fix it is to destroy the system. And if anyone finds logical flaws in your argument just sprinkle in some Marxism to sure up the gaps.
Just because the BLM organization is in the 3rd category, doesn't mean I'm going to absolve responsibility of everyone in the first 2. None of the three options are virtuous as far as I'm concerned.
As far as the "majority approval", I could not give one **** less. History is filled with rotten ideologies that had majority support for one reason or another.
You can claim I'm bigoted, part of the problem, ignorant, racist, whatever you want. I always assume what a person/organization/movement does, is what they INTENDED to do, and work back from there. Maybe a good first step to changing my opinion on this if you care to do so is to explain how the lives of black people have gotten better since May, or any sort of reasonable road map to how they are on track to be better off.
