BLM lost its... they just shouldn't have allowed the radical folks in it. That call for violence, 'fuck 12!' and other left wing idiologies... I do support the freedoms and rights of ALL americans. I do think there is disparity and racism, currently, for black Americans - but I can't support a movement that allows 50% of their message to be violence and overthrow the police.... I support change, that is compromised between all parties.
