I'm sure there are some black supremacists or black separatists among supporters of Black Lives Matter, and those would of course be racist, but I think the vast majority don't support it for racist reasons. Rather they feel that there is (institutional) racism against black people, and their support of the movement aims to eliminate these. Of course I understand also that a lot of people against the Black Live Matter movements don't think there is (institutional) racism, so to them the movement seems to be one that creates racism or aims to put black people above white people, however we should be fair at least and admit that's not the POV of most of the people who support it. If we can understand our differences in worldview perhaps we are able to see the things we do agree on and to compromise on those we disagree on.

St. Louis couple who defended their lives and property from BLM thugs by merely holding guns were served a search warrant.
Can't believe this is actually happening in America . That is a clear abuse of power and that couple's constitutional rights are being shredded just because they exercised their 2A rights.

👆 Yep. It's also a front for radical Marxism.
That's it in a nutshell, it's specifically what their leadership has spoken too. They are trained marxists.
Don't get me wrong I'm not afraid of discussing that but most ppl that support blm don't even understand the groups position that they are supporting. The whole intersectionality and the degree in which you are oppressed shouldn't dictate your level of moral authority.
Back to the subjective truth vs objective truth 😎

OK. I'll be fair. when they kick out and disavow the racists. I'll agree with your view about them.

Sure but let's say they are correct, I've read their platform. No where in their doctrine do they have something put forth that specifically addresses the issues they present.
Systemic racism, where is it, what do they want done to fix it.
(not even mentioned)Massive amount of crime in poor black communities, highest homicide rate in the USA, their platform doesn't even speak about this, fair enough what would they like done to fix it...........other then defund police. We're seeing a swelling of killings on the tides of protests/marches and defund the police.

At least they support free Palestine.
Granted, even on that they're not very specific of what needa to be done.
Two state solution? Pretty sure that's been offered and rejected several times.
Israeli's packing up and moving?
I get the feeling that's more on point with what they want.

I'm just enjoying watching the knee jerk reaction here. How dare these minorities protest for a voice. Funny stuff.
I shouldn't but I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt and pretend that after numerous discussions you still don't understand how our national/city/state/municipality governing system of representation works.
I frankly have no problem with their voice, I'm looking for their mssging other then they scream they don't have a voice 😉

The point isn't the message. The point is a ticket to Democrat wins forever.
Why else would they cancel a professor who re-tweeted studies that claimed riots don't result in Democrat won elections? Because that's exactly why they fight so hard to incite riots, on the mistaken belief they'll win elections.

Why should Israelis pack up and move? It's their land.
