As a white woman with a black man I can only say I support BLM and see it as PEOPLE together standing up against ignorance and bullshit in the world! It's not black vs white, it's anyone who is against discrimination against racist people. And yes, racist people come in all colors. I see the BLM movement more as an "we are all equal and the same" organisation! And yes, like with feminism or climate activists some do take it a step too far. Who agrees with me?
I don't think you'll gain much headway by trying to define the movement as for all races, when the word "black" is in the name, specifically. I've seen various races walking in peaceful protest, yes (and that's good), but it doesn't seem to be for all, really. They chose their name poorly then.
I don't see it as anti-white. Just because something is for something, doesn't mean it is against something else. Others feel differently, but I believe that's too reductionist and reactive.
They are killed - even when unarmed - at much higher rates. There is a massive loss of life in the black community, which destabilizes family structures, and eviscerates trust in law enforcement and justice. So despite what some racists claim, blacks have every right to want to bring attention to this injustice. I support all peaceful bids for equality and respect. I know it was begun by a black woman, and the intentions were honourable. I don't know the details of what it has become today so I can't speak on that. But I will never stand with the All Lives Matter pushback, as that's a slap in the face (and worse) to the more than justified concern over a disproportionate number of blacks being targeted, harassed, and harmed.
The ACLU did a study: in all 50 states and 95% of counties that have more than 1% black population, black people are arrested for cannabis possession 364% more than white people. They don’t use it more; they are arrested more. It has been used as a tool of structural, systemic racism use to discriminate.

I wouldn't say it is anti white, at least not initially but when the protesters were blocking roads, and pulling white people from their cars to beat, or rape... they lost my support FOREVER... as someone who regrets initially supporting them. The movement is now a terrorist organization that likes to block roads and harm people.
Had they stuck to sidewalks, not taken over government buildings and such, I'd still support them to this day.
Don't know why the idiots think blocking traffic is a good idea, it turns so many people against them.

BLM is a hateful, racist movement for people either too stupid or too toxic to think that they need to join a domestic terrorist organization to prove to the world how "not racist' they are.
Usually the only people who support BLM are actual anti-white racists and other bigots, or those cringey "white guilt" people who are so clueless about race relations, they think they have to join BLM or get called a white supremacist and don't have even the tiniest balls to stand up for themselves.
I'm black and if I had the authority I'd have every member of BLM shot on site by black and Hispanic law enforcement. Especially after the riots, arson, and murders of the Summer of 2020. I still can't believe that was an actual thing, let alone BLM deifying a career criminal and overall piece-of-trash thug like George Floyd.
MOST cults are run by evil people and filled by extremely stupid people. Whether that be BLM, feminist, the Democratic part, the Republican party, and just about any large scale political group inbetween. It seems like the scariest thing for people to do nowadays is think for themselves.
BLM has scammed everyone to the endpoint anyway, so they're taking their millions of dollars scammed from the victims of black families, and bailing.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/H1LdpXk3lnAhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/n2AZNIPaMZMI thought the majority of people finally figured out BLM was grift. They have been pretty blunt with their mission statements from the beginning but most people didn't read them... even still it seems ^.
They are self proclaimed communists (Although they seem to embrace capitalism in their personal). They self proclaim their goal is to break down the nuclear family (having a mother and father). They've systematically encouraged and funded segregation campaigns. They are pretty openly racist.
No idea how you're unaware of these things when they've pretty apparent basic facts now...
Some of the dumb shit done by BLM using donations.
- Used their donations to donate $275,000 to fund planned parenthood (who are responsible for killing almost half of all newborns in the black community)
- Over $7 million on mansions
- $2 million to the co founders baby daddy
- $12 million on funding an lgbtq whatever more exclusive state in California
- Accumulated $42 million in personal assets
- Donating $10 million towards gender transitioning.
- Funded presidential campaigns
I’m not sure, don’t know too much about it. I don’t know how it really started or who’s behind it tbh. They look like hippies, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes but eh don’t mind seeing it on the TV?
Everyone racists, many black people think they can't be racist because they don’t oppress anyone, have running water and free education can vote n fuck whoever you want?
I truly believe the world is getting to be a better place to live in for all people “S curve” is natural growth
Because of race baiting. Maybe not everyone in the organization is bad. But as a organization I don’t support it. There is many reasons why. It’s also anti police.
Here is one reason I don’t like it.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/5JfMiXbVH4Uagain. Not saying everyone in the organization is bad. But. Many rioters and terrorists have caused billions in damage as well as cost lives.
I’m 100% for the Black Lives Matter movement. It inspires me to help others use my platform to amplify their voices. The year 2020 really opened my eyes to this movement. I’ll continue to support and spread it.
The problem with BLM isn't that it's anti-white; the problem is it's based on a very dangerous and harmful lie. If you are willing to set aside your preconceived beliefs long enough to learn what the movement actually is, I strongly suggest you watch the documentary "The Greatest Lie Ever Sold". It details the reality of the movement.
Black Lives Matter is a scan who took 89 million dollars from black people then BLM tokk the money and away.
I think we need to call IRS and ask why you are allowing BLM to goes against all rulers of business that would put us in prison
They missaporated the funds when they could have help many black peopleBecause White women like them just for their "endorsement", while a black girl "doesn't like" to be seen with a white guy. I can see lots of that in Uk.
Inherently, no. But enough members are. I shouldn't be called out as racist over a glue joke. Fucking glue.
I support the concept, but the group itself is fuckedI think it's a scam more than anything. Did you hear about the BLM organiser who stole a ton of donations and bought herself a mansion and didn't give shit to the Floyd family?
Oh boy. You’re clueless and don’t even know what you’re supporting. My city was vandalized by BLM, they destroyed stores and broke out windows, and we had a curfew because of riots.
Fuck BLM.
Black lives matter isn’t even pro black. It’s pro financial scheme and Marxism.
Everyone knows by now that BLM is a fraud. BLM doesn't help blacks, it hurts them. If you actually CARE about black people and want the best for them, stop supporting BLM.
If it’s not black vs. white then why is it called Black Lives Matter?
Is that still going on? I thought it was just a one week thing in response to something that happened to a black person.
No I don’t, I don’t know how self centered one would have to be to believe that
BLM is not what you think it is.
Wouldn’t BLM be “anti every race but black”?
Everyone's life Matter 😐
BLM is a fraud.
