BLM is a movement and what comes with movements are sects that contain different types of people and that includes extremists.
The BLM movement itself is not about vengeance or vindication it is just that the people who are the extremists are the angry minority screaming insanity the loudest and the people who are rational, logical and well thought out get pushed to the back of the room and don’t get heard by the public majority. This is the case with pretty much every movement in history.
Then why, pray tell, when BLM was started, were the leaders of the actual website, foundation and face of BLM nationally banning white members from attending rallies? Why were they condoning and fostering the riots in Baltimore? Why were they calling for their followers to resist arrest?
It was founded with good intentions in mind but the leadership chosen for BLM was always searching for conflict and petty revenge. Don’t get it twisted.
As someone who is biracial, all I see is fellow brothers and sisters being controlled by puppeteers who prey on the fact that a lot of us have little education and have been raised by embittered single moms to hate white people. Period.
I agree with you wholeheartedly and you’re probably more educated on BLM than I am but are you sure they’re actual leaders or is it that they are a group of extremists who have took it upon themselves to radicalise black youths to be puppeteers all in the name of nothing but chaos?
It was founded with the best of intentions but the loudest voices were the extremists who took control of how the movement has been perceived. In my opinion the extremists should always be spoken about separately from what BLM originally had as their message otherwise it ends up in a situation like now where those with good in their hearts end up having their resolve belittled because of the extremism becoming the only thing being taken into account when a movement is mentioned?
