Well, this is my take not necessarily on the BLM group but groups, religious affiliations and others like them. Since time began, or should I say, since everyone picked up a religious text to read and study, or watched their first soccer match in England, or have been brought up in a religion which has been divided according to different interpretations of the texts, people have always hated those who are different.
Having grown up in Manchester, I remember the days when we were bombed by the IRA, which was a Catholic terrorist group. I can understand their reasons as to why they dislike the English and Protestants in general. However, because of the split between the Catholics and protestants, there has always been hatred that has been passed down from generation on generation. The same thing can apply to racism too. If someone was brought into life with a racist father or racist mother or even both (the colour is irrelevant since all humans are capable of being racist), just like with religion, they will be brought up to agree with a racist ideology just as they would agree that Jesus was the son of God, or Noahs ark was built to same mankind from mass destruction.
The same can be said for those who live in unique communities i.e. black, Hispanic, Chinese, Vietnamian or Native American. Children are brought up to think only about the community, have respect for those of "their own kind", and be aware of those around you who are different. Hatred towards others is going to rife, hatred towards authority is going to be rife. Yet racial segregation by minorities has been done by choice nowadays, with communities who are alike staying together. There is nothing wrong with this attitude at all, since there are of course large English communities who have lived in Spain for decades and might possible not even speak the native language.
Ever since time began in the United States, all immigrants have faced problems on a large scale, and not necessarily the immigrants but native Americans. What about the Chinese who were treated as slaves, the Irish, the Italians, the Koreans and the Japanese? Weren't all these groups capable of being treated badly by the police, of course they were. They might have lived in tightknit communities, but they knew the difference between right and wrong.
Anyway, I have another question which is a two-part question. How many blacks have been killed by police and how many of those police were not white?
