It's no secret that BLM THE ORGANIZATION is Marxist and goes against traditional American values. The BLM MOVEMENT is not inherently Communist or anti-American, though. This article does a good job summing everything up - https://fee.org/articles/is-black-lives ... o-and-yes/

Speaking of statues, why do we even have statues for Confederates? I mean, they wanted to break away from the Union. They were basically traitors.

Op should add a poll. Bet it would be one of the few polls on NSG to drastically skew in favor of one side.

That’s not really an argument though. There are communists in any large political movement.

Doesn't change the fact that I have been strawmaned. I'm also permitted to go after a section of a movement.

Racists put them up in the 60s because Black Americans had the audacity to demand equal rights so all the WASPs came out in droves to put them in their place.

You know, standard racist stuff.

I know that there was once in the 70s a similar group about black racial supremacy making use of terrorist actions against white race people, and connected to that which existed in UK at that time. I don't remember their name but they covered their actions under the mask of a similar propaganda and motto as BLM.
There were many people disappearing without to be ever known or seen back to their families. There were rumors that many corpses of white people were taken on ships and buried in common graves and that the authorities finding them chosen to hide the fact as "classified" to avoid public and diplomatic conflicts.

Even today I can find on Social Media websites, forums and chat servers certain people promoting ideas as "Black supremacy" and "death to white race".

Any group that promotes supremacy or preference against other races, even if not on the same way as Hitler did, but not equality between all, should be considered a significant threat. They are a type of neonazis under a new face, named the "black race supremacy".

"Black Lives Matter" does not promote equality for all but only for a certain group of people or race.

To grow, to aid and save each other. Also going interstellar. Even if abandoned by family and nobody cares, I wish to do something important in life before to die, something that may really count.

Can't seem to find anything that suggests the main people in the movement do not promote equality. Sure you get the supremacists tagging onto it, but as for the main guys that started it? Can't find anything for that.
