Disagree.

A huge number of people that honestly believe they’re exercising 1A are actually generating massive exposure for the extremist Marxist organization BLM that has been raising incredible amounts of money due to the protests and civil unrest.

This group does not care about anything or anyone. Their agenda is all about money, power and influence.

It has been around since 2013 and has used the police brutality narrative to advance their agenda.

Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Jacob Clark - all very important names in the expansion of the BLM agenda.

What is the point of this👇 type of “protest”?

And that’s your interpretation. As long as people are peacefully exercising their right of protest good for them. If they speak out and don’t let themselves get co-opted better for them. But I’m not going to speak out against individual citizens gathering and voicing their needs in a peaceful fashion. That’s Democracy in action.

Again I separate the individuals speaking their mind from the bull **** political group. That’s just my opinion.

I agree with all of what you said except you failed to address the fact the exact name of the organization is the slogan being used by many people speaking out.

If they made a point of using their own slogan to make a distinction between themselves and this organization it would make a huge difference.

As it stands anyone using “BLM” is pushing propaganda regardless of whether or not they understand or agree with it.

I know. That’s what I meant by them letting themselves get co-opted. I’d prefer they used a different name too. But that isn’t our choice 🤷‍♂️

Ok that’s fair. I actuality understand your viewpoint. I’m just not going speak out against citizens exercising their rights. Even though I do wish they world carry a sign that says “Black Lives Matter! No not those idiots our OWN black lives”. A minor twist on the post you quoted, taking ownership of THEIR protest.

There is a limitless amount of phrases they could use to make theirs views known, but choose that which matches word for word, a racist org.

Looks like 87% see the BLM movement for what it is.

I’m wondering how much BLM has raised and distributed to black charities. Zilch, nada, zero.

No, don't you know VN is actually just 87% racist.

How do you do, fellow bigots!

If they left it at “we think that some government authorities occasionally abuse blacks and this needs to be addressed”, then they’d have my attention and probably support. But instead they play identity politics, exaggerate the prevalence of the issue, insist on mass culpability and destroy millions of dollars of property

It’s really quite funny. Every time there’s a real issue pointed out in the “black community” it’s rebuked and said that’s not what blm is about. Then the next week someone else says that’s exactly what it’s about. Then the next week it’s supposedly something else. The only reality I see is it simply supports lawlessness, rioting, looting, violence, racism, and ton of other stupid s**t. If black people are being targeted by police it’s probably because they’re breaking the law. The race baiters can come and post one outlier to support their ignorance while being ignorant to the fact those affect everyone and DO need addressed. They however ignore the fact black violent crimes are far more prevalent and you’re more likely to see actual videos like the black guy hitting a white dude in the head with a brick for fun, the dude sucker punching the dude at Macy’s for no reason, and mobs of thugs that randomly attack white people.
