Why are racists going out of their way to de-legitimize the BLM?

I've got to admit that I was confused for a few moments when I thought you were asking about the Bureau of Land Management.

It's not actually a bad comparison to make, really, when you consider the standoff between Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management from a couple years ago. A lot of the people who are calling Black Lives Matter a racist organization--some of whom even go out of their way to defend the cops who've gunned down unarmed black people--are the same people who were calling Civen Bundy a hero.

When an armed white mob stood off against the government, the Fox News crowd called them brave freedom fighters. Just imagine what they would have called those people if they had been black or Latino. Do you think they would have been allowed to thumb their nose--and in some cases, point their weapons--at federal and State of Nevada law enforcement officers if they weren't white?

That's the thing, though. They're trying to de-legitimize Black Lives Matter because they don't want to deal with the real issues of fairness and equality that are raised by any minority rights movement. Their side is allowed to be outraged, but if the other side does it, they're thugs and criminals.

Like many "movements," the BLM movement may have started out with a reasonable goal, but it has totally lost sight of what it was trying to achieve. Now it has become an EXCUSE to create disturbances and even hurt people and damage property. Instead of trying to improve the lot of Blacks, it is turning people against them.

Edit:

If BLM was serious, they'd be marching in the Chicago ghettos protesting Blacks killing Blacks... That my friend is the true REALITY.

Edit:

Nikky... You are NUTS for sure. That is just so much liberal bull crap you're spouting. Sure, I know there are a FEW other ethnicities supporting BLM.... they're just a bunch of brainwashed kids being spewed out by the liberal education system that blames everything on the "Whites only culture" (to use your term) and who refuse to accept ANY responsibility for their actions and the trouble Blacks create in their own culture. There is nothing legitimate about BLM. They are a bunch of anarchists with a handful of well-meaning followers who don't know the dark path they are going down.

Well, 1st of all ordained ministers,priests etc are all quite capable of being racists, crooks etc, they are human. I agree with the goals of the BLM movement but they are indeed horrible with PR. They should hire a firm. When they booed folks saying "all lives matter" ...frankly that made me confused and I am for them. I understand their cause, I agree but I just don't think the movement clearly defines a specific plan of action that can be done to fix problem.

So sure I think Black lives matter just as much as any life matters. But what do they want specifically to happen to fix what they think is wrong? Do they just want to highlight the inequality of justice system or do they have something in specific done, such as new laws etc. If they want new laws, I think they should be channeling that energy into getting out the vote.

75% percent of people killed by police are white. Im sorry your argument is invalid. BLM is a protest that has no real logic it was created to test how gullible people really are. Unfortunately white people aren't the only ones who do stupid stuff and get killed by police.

#1 suggestion for you to ask is why the police don't have longer time in police training in the United States. Look at Australia's police force, They hardly kill any one and their training is much longer and tougher.

The #BLM movement is nothing more than a home grown terrorist group and should be treated as such. In every single police self defense shooting, there is one common FACT: there was a crime being commited each time with the person either resisting arrest or attacking the police. Every. Single. Time.

BLM de-legitiized themselves when they:

1- Had official marches involving calls for the death of police officers

2- Flipped out when people pointed out that other lives also matter

BLM was founded on a lie: "Hands up Don't shoot" , according to Holder DOJ report which found the officers action was Justified

Then we have video of Protesters chanting: "What do we want?" "Dead Cops " "when do we want it NOW" but we are told ignore the chants

Then another video surfaces "Pig in a blanket fry like bacon" and once again we are told to ignore the video

Then a professor comes out and says: A University of Wisconsin-Madison official claims laws against shoplifting are just an excuse to over-police minority communities.

“I just don’t think that they should be prosecuting cases… for people who steal from Wal-Mart,” said Everett Mitchell, director of community relations for the university, during an on-campus event. “I don’t think [with] Target or all them other places, them big box stores that have insurance, they should be using the fact that people steal from there as justification to start engaging in aggressive police practices, right?”

additional info: Please tell which quote is a lie? I luv the 21th century, there is no doubt let's go to the video tape as Warren Wolf use to say

1. The Holder DOJ report? bother to read it I did? Hands up don't shoot is a lie , It's in the report ? try some reading comprehension for a chance

2. CNN video of BLM protesters sucker punching a cop and chanting What do we want dead cops, is the video a lie as well or revision history
