Other than the fact that the Black Lives Matter Foundation isn't the BLM movement, I typically wouldn't go to an About page on the group in question to see if it tells me that they're Marxist or not.
I'm guessing, you, @Florida173, like I am, are not a minority. We didnt have to live through Mike Bloomberg's stop and frisk. We don't have to wake up wondering if our house will be the target of white supremacists.
Do I agree with everything that BLM is doing? Of course not. For instance they need to look into their own communities and wonder when they will stop killing each other.

I'm done beating a dead horse. Some of you are so blinded by whatever is driving you, whether that be deep state conspiracies or Marxist rioters, that you are not seeing the issues that drove this to where it is. We as a country are not that far removed from the Civil War. In fact, the last person receiving a pension just died earlier this year.

I would be interested to learn how they (blm) define "white supremacy." Is it something along the lines of:
1) "the belief that white people are superior to those of all other races and should therefore dominate society."
Or
2) "any system, practice, expectation, or norm which has the effect of privileging whites over others independent of beliefs about superiority or inferiority."
The distinction matters if one is to have a productive debate on the subject.

Why do you think it can't be both?
@BloodStripe you are doing exactly what they want the public to do. You are assuming that the BLM organization is the same as the BLM movement. Totally different animals.
The BLM organization and leadership has openly admitted to being Marxist. They need to be watched carefully. The cofounder admitted to being a trained Marxist. Many of their demands have hallmarks of Marxism.
The BLM Movement is something totally different and is something that should be supported.

The video has already been linked on this site multiple times. I did just a few posts up trying to argue that it's Marxist. None of it seems to matter because police brutality.
Then consider the topic done.
I'm merely offering a different perspective since about 95% of the active members on here all agree with you're saying. I've given you what I consider BLM movement. It's the exact definition I posted. Those causing destruction to property are not BLM.
Someone who I joke with by calling her my work Mom is black. A few years ago her house was spray painted with the words Die (insert derogative term here that starts with the letter N).
I suggest some of you call up your darker green friends and have a meaningful conversation with them on their thoughts.
Given the number of squad cars I'd imagine they were sent there to get the protestors to disperse.

When only 1/345 hate crimes end up not being a hoax, it kind of desensitizes a lot of us to caring; especially when you see black on white crime not being considered. Recent Flint Macy's comes to mind
Who are my darker green friends?
Edit: misquoted.. fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 were genuine between 2010 and 2017.

You are trying to have a separate conversation than anyone else. It is entirely possible for all of the above to be correct and happening at the same time.
Mod hat on! This discussion has been dragged on and on, with no results. So we're finished.
Hold up - what?
We're done with this. But I'm sure this is what is being referred to.

I don't know if anyone will think this was a bad idea. Toxic viewpoints grow if they are put into an environment to cultivate. Same with any group where you have people that feel disenfranchised. And since this was co-opted from the gun forums to 4chan to facebook, I would say it has already accelerated a bit too far. They should also be taking down the other socialist-anarchist groups like Antifa. It's good to have a healthy suspicion of the "government," especially with the abuses that have come to light with weaponizing it against political foes.
I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this from your side of the border. I've worked extensively with the CANSOF folks and get a general vibe that no one has liked Trudeau. Has it not led to any fringe movements, or is the RCMP just that good with stomping it out?
