Black Lives Matter (Hover)
Sometimes I wonder if these groups really help or create a bigger divide? I understand the reason for why it was formed but sometimes the way people go about things doesn't bring across the correct message.
It's sad to see really that there are still people in the world who are still racist against to not just black people but a lot of other races as well. However like Brathwade said, there are some groups that just cause more fighting than actual cooperation among the community.
From what I have seen the activists that are promoting Black lives matter are more of a terroristic type of group. If you do not follow their agenda you are a bigot and a racist. When the black lives matter people protest why does it seem to be filled with violence and looting? Maybe I am missing the peaceful protests. Maybe I do not see that side.
Where are the black lives matter groups in Chicago or other cities were black people are killing other black people? Do those lives not matter? Why do the black lives matter group always seem to come out when a non black kills a black person? I do not follow black lives matter and from what I have seen I doubt I will.
I think they should change their campaign to All Lives Matter. Because in my view it does not matter the color of you skin or the way you were raised. You are a human and part of this world. You matter just like everyone else matters. The people doing the killing need to be brought to justice so that more people are not killed for trivial reasons. We can do so much better as human when we care for all other humans.
The biggest Black Lives Matter page on Facebook is fake. For at least a year, the biggest page on Facebook purporting to be part of the Black Lives Matter movement was a scam with ties to a middle-aged white man in Australia, a review of the page and associated accounts and websites conducted by CNN shows.
The page, titled simply "Black Lives Matter," had almost 700,000 followers on Facebook, more than twice as many as the official Black Lives Matter page. It was tied to online fundraisers that brought in at least $100,000 that supposedly went to Black Lives Matter causes in the U.S. At least some of the money, however, was transferred to Australian bank accounts, CNN has learned.
Fundraising campaigns associated with the Facebook page were suspended by PayPal, Donorbox, Classy, and Patreon after CNN contacted each of the companies for comment. Source 3p.
