Can someone explain to me what the Black Lives Matter organization is about and why some people are so upset about it?

Yes their racist for saying lives other than white peoples matter apparently.

@Captainjackass: No, they're racist for saying only black lives matter and inciting violence against whites. And they do both, constantly.

why are they racist?
did they create a racial divide? IT is my understanding that there has been a racial divide in the US long before this organization appeared

@Captainjackass: its more their blatant racism against white people and riding all the slavery thing even tho no one alive today was in the slave trade

@Sicarium:

Can you cite me some examples?
To my knowledge they don't claim that only black lives matter and are anti-violence

@UnparalleledMonster: well saying fuck white people and whity owes us money is kinda racist and yes their was always a racial divide but these people help support the Dallas shooter for example

@UnparalleledMonster: before them and before Obama racism in America was almost nill.

@abe182:

lol no

@abe182: it was not talked about but its always been there. I only see this in big cities though. I am from a small town. We all get along fine here. Black or white does not matter.

@Firespirit: Can you cite some examples where they say such things?

@sweetiepiehuggs: I'm from a medium sized city. No racism here. I try not to go to the big cities it's crazy there.

@UnparalleledMonster: Well this one for the latest attack

@UnparalleledMonster: I'm going to assume that you live under a rock and that you're being genuine.

Google "all lives matters is racist" and pick your favorite two dozen sources. It is literally everywhere.

@Firespirit:

I don't understand. What does this have to do with black lives matter?

@UnparalleledMonster: They both were members of black lives matter and show its extremes which promoters terrorism

@Sicarium:

I'm not finding anything. Just people saying it IS racist

@abe182: yes it is. I have many black friends who are against BLM. They just turned into a gang of fools. They are not proving anything by acting with hate. Its sad. I like that black man that goes around giving hugs to both sides. He's cool.

@Firespirit:

Sure. But this is about some individuals who acted in ways that are not supported by the organization, correct?

@UnparalleledMonster: well sure their is some good people in their but any group that insights harassment of a person or group of people is not a good group and is guilty of racism

@Firespirit:

But they don't incite it. They don't encourage it.
I mean democrats behaved abominably after the election but you couldn't argue that the democratic party is a violent organization that incites violence

@UnparalleledMonster: The whole organisation is based off white killing blacks at high rates which is not even close to truth so its based on a lie. and beyond that if a black person gets shot for what ever reason they riot no matter if they were in wrong.

@Firespirit:

I think it's based on killing black men who are unarmed. surrendered or fleeing.

@UnparalleledMonster: Could be but that is even false sure it happens but rarely
