What do you think of the Black Lives Matter movement?

The first problem is who is They are you referring to blacks as they or was that an error I hope so, second I agree and disagree at the same-time. I feel as though people has always been more easily judgmental to Hispanics and blacks verse all other race and when I say people I mean all race including those of the same race and thirdly your right at no time should one race decide that they alone are being targeted and request the death of any human. If I had it my way race wouldn't even be a factor in the USA we will all go by our nationality which would be AMERICAN or what ever other nationality that better represent the country you are from. America cause their own racial brawls by put a race on the color of our skin. So I agree and disagree but when you use words like THEY, YOU PEOPLE, THOSES PEOPLE, SPC Voye you are showing the world just a little of how racist people are really. But that can't because in the Armed Force we have Equal Opportunity, in the Army Forces EO protects you no matter what, on or off post, on or off duty and that include the Internet. So I can rest a sure when you say They you have either made an error or that they was intended for the population as a whole and wasn't in fact a noun use to replace the race word of blacks or African Americans, because that will be a target, that would be racist being do to with that one race you are so prudently covering by saying they well was not the only ones speaking up for a bill or how you say movement like BLACK LIVES COUNT to be passed or consider. One population of human race doesn't dictate what the other populations do. FOOD FOR THOUGHT OR FYI!!!!!!

I think it started out as a gentle political movement, but quickly turned into a organization that uses acts of violence and civil unrest to spread their agenda.

Agreeing with PFC (Join to see), The BlackLivesMatter movement is not a movement based upon violence or terrorism, it is being used and destroyed by extremists of the group who more resemble the Black Panther Movement (these would be the terroristic like organized members to fit this description) to use it as a disguise to incite violence against their intended targets. As far as the matter of "All Lives Matter," yes I could not agree more. Every single soul on this earth has a place. No matter, gender, race, ethnicity, heritage or any other. But the phrase black lives matter is used more as a specification to get the point across that the black minority have been ill treated and have had injustice done unto them with no repercussions and they want to be heard. They are asking to make it known that as a minority their lives matter just as much as anyone elses. Which is obviously true. It was never meant to show that black lives matter more so than anybody elses. So to set aside the rant I managed to proceed to, I also disagree. This movement was never meant to be terroristic or to use aggressive violent tendencies at all. With recent events extremists have taken places within the group to use it as a tool to accomplish their own goals. But I am proud that up to this point in my military career I have yet to see racism in even the slightest. (of course this may not be true everywhere.) It is a great feeling to know that as fellow service members we choose not to see color, but rather brothers and sisters.

BLM; I find it ironic that those they are protesting against gave their lives to protect them and their right to protest in Dallas the other night.

Answer me this, FBI statistics show more white people are killed per year than Blacks. When was the last time you seen a story on the news about a black cop shooting a white guy? Probably never because the media will not report on something that doesn't make headlines but a police officer kills a black criminal and all hell breaks loose. Where's the outrage when a white person gets killed by police? Where are all the white peoples rioting and destroying their own community when a white person is killed by police? I don't care what race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, or any other demographic you are if you do stupid shit you win stupid prizes. And just to be clear, I don't think the 2 recent police involved shootings are justified.

I give it no more thought than I do a neglected, overused latrine.

They are trash.

Comparing it to ISIS

There are those within BLM who have advocated for violent responses. Many I think can be attributed to legitimate anger over recent and recurring events. Others have a more checkered past that warrant a closer examination. For my part, I think a lot of the more extreme views expressed are a product of a system that rewards those who get the most attention for the loud and crazy things they say... then quietly walk it back afterwards saying that they were angry and upset.
As for recent events, it is becoming clear the shooter in Dallas was not a BLM member, although he had some connection to other, more militant movements.
I do not think that there is a mutual exclusion between seeking justice and peace, nor should one exclude the other, as some chant at rallies. I believe that organizations such as BLM should look in the mirror, figure out what they really stand for, and come out against violence against people and property, and still demonstrate for and advocate justice for those who are mistreated by police.
We are at a crossroads.

That's not the sense i got when i walked with them a year ago. They seemed empathetic, sorrowful and desperate; but then this was from the individuals i was with. Perhaps the problem is that we are individuals with unique perspectives and experiences that we can never truly share with even a dozen individual people. We are individuals and at the same time we influence each other.
