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

"Black Lives Matter" is a movement for black rights. It started after an unarmed guy called Trayvon Martin was killed by police and left rotting in the street, if I remember correctly. People got tired of the lack of media coverage and the "black lives matter less" mindset Americans often seem to have (black kid being killed by police VS white kid being killed by police, stuff like that). It's anti-racism.

Some people are upset about it because they're A. missing the point or B. Racist.

Anti racism is anti white

Not true, at all. BLM was not started because of Trayvon Martin and Trayvon Martin wasn't killed by police. Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, a neghborhood watch guy, after Zimmerman followed Martin and Martin assaulted Zimmerman.

@UnparalleledMonster: Most people or groups who claim to be anti racism are mostly promoting multiculturalism and take down anything even remotely pro white people like the group antifa area prime example as they are just a violent as any gang.
