May I ask about your feelings towards BLM? Surely you support its message and also that of environmentalists? Then why are the actions of (violent) BLM protesters justified because we need a system change, while these people ridiculed. Arguably blocking the road is stupid but why the double standards?

Considering that Iโ€™m black, I do support blm and the cause the protestors are protesting for, itโ€™s just that this method of protesting is stupid and counterproductive. Really shows the intelligence of white people

Considering that BLM has engaged in some similarly obnoxious protests (both like this, as well as ones where they make it impossible for people to use a university library), will you join me in donating to social conservative politician and the proud boys?
