What do you think of the Black Lives Matter movement?

Terrorist organization no hypocrites very much so just like most people in politics and famous people all want to call for gun control but who protects most of them and with what do they protect them with under their jackets....

Here is my response to the so-called birth of this terrorist organization. By FBI statistics more white people are killed every single year then African-Americans. The only reason the shootings ever get any attention is because the media chooses only to report on stuff that's going to get them headlines i.e White cop or someone who is perceived to be white shoots a black guy. Why does the media never report on all the police killing white people? Because they're looking for headlines in the police killing a white guy does not make headlines.

I'm not going to "Tea Party" them. There are good people who have valid concerns and feel that this is a way to get their message out. There are violent extremists who want to tear America down and rebuild it in the "kinder and more benevolent" authoritarian regimes where white males are punished for their "white, Christian, male privilege". Unfortunately, the idiots get all the press.

I think that's too inclusive. A few chanting? IDK... most are trying to point out that This country is for all of us and for some reason, they and other groups are being set aside. Justice for All. That's what America stands for... Well darn it!! Pulled me right in. Politics really don't belong here

BLM never said they wanted cops dead lol. It's kinda hard to understand if you are not black.

I am very much against the BLM movement. While I agree that violence needs to be reviewed and guilty parties punished, these punishments need to be done in a court of law. Protesting to bring attention to violence and pushing for changes is good to. Where I have an issue is the very first word "Black". Bringing attention to violence inflicted on one race and blaming another or multiple other races just perpetuates the differences and hatred. There are poor black people, poor Hispanics, poor Whites, etc. We need to look at our neighborhoods and say "What do we need to do as a community to make things better?" Chase out the gangs? Yes, Drug dealers ? Yes. Watch our neighbor's back and report crimes? Yes. What we should never do is say "I'm stuck like this because I'm (insert race) and the (insert race) man has kept me down. Lincoln taught himself to read and eventually became president. Helen Keller was Blind and deaf yet is seen as a hero. Every rags to riches story begins with the person saying no matter how bad society treats me or how bad my origin is I will succeed. M. King was a powerful speaker and civil rights leader. Why? because he was black or because he stood up for what is right? If he had the attitude of "society and the man are keeping me down". There never would have had "The Dream" and there never would have been change. As a society of "American citizens of these United States" we need to help and watch out for each other not blame our neighbor or the guy down the street because his race is different. Judge him by his actions and not his color. Again 'ALL' LIVES MATTER. It's why we get up in the morning, its why we put on the uniform in the first place, and its why even after we take it off we still strive to do everything in our power to help others and make things better for all.

I understand the idea behind it and understand where they are coming from. However I don't really think its that important or that big a deal....Lets be honest most people only have an issue with it because the name of the group is Black Lives Matter......But ask yourselves this has the United States had a history of showing Blacks and other minorities that their lives mattered?

Do an honest assessment on yourself and ask yourself what is your issue with the BLM? If it was the American Lives Matter movement or All Lives Matter movement would you have an issue with it?
