Do you think black lives matter is turning non racist racist?

It is definitely a polarizing movement, and it seems that many African American families hate what it's doing to the nation, and to the world. BLM is actually not about race, but about control, and destroying a nation.

I think so , in the UK anyway . Most British people are fairly tolerant of other life styles but resent groups wanting special treatment.

It's my impression that BLM is NOT turning egalitarians into racists. But it IS bringing many people who were imbued with racist beliefs as children (but were ignoring them, mainly to just go with the flow) to the REALISATION that they actually DO believe in racism.
(They might not realise that they've held these beliefs all along but were never before brought to a point of actually interrogating them. That seems to often be the case. Typically, it is emotionally and intellectually easier for them to conclude that current events convinced them to ADOPT these beliefs, rather than to admit they've HELD THEM ALL ALONG, but never thought deeply about them, much less voiced them.)
In any case, regardless of what BLM does, or what certain people feel in reaction, it is a fact that racism is endemic among both blacks and whites (and all other peoples) - and it is also a fact that DEMONIZING racism for the persistent inequalities in USA law & custom will NEVER result in improvement! Racism must be accepted as an immutable fact. Egalitarianism must ALSO be accepted an an immutable fact. Neither is going anywhere.
The issue is not "END RACISM". The issue is forging an understanding of how both sides can live together without injuring one another. (BLM is NOT always helpful in this regard, but it's certainly no more of an obstacle than the DENIAL which typifies nearly all RACISTS.) Both side must come to terms. How can you come to terms if you don't first accept your opponent's existence?

You don't become racist. You either racist or you not.
Many people suppress the racism then it comes out when they explode but they was always racist.

The name it's self implies racism. There's no changing that.
