White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

[Secular Elf]

BLM has no organized leadership, no centralized headquarters, and no established manifesto. So how do you know what BLM is or isn't? What we know of BLM are videos of their protests chanting "Pigs in a blanket! Fry'em like bacon!" and "What do we want? Dead Cops!" As far as I can see, what has been witnessed by news videos, is that BLM is a hate movement that advocates violence against police officers....and the movement should be condemned for that.

I would consider myself a strong supporter of the BLM movement. It is a large group of people who are angry and who are sick and fucking tired of being targeted. It is not a hate movement. If you see it that way, you are not understanding why they exist in the first place. Anyone who advocates violence against the police or anyone else is wrong.

Listen to their message.

Generally I agree with this. My specific point of disagreement is with "Anyone who advocates violence...is wrong." I look at it this way: if a group of people have decided to name you and your people as an enemy and that is their rhetoric on a daily basis, then that group has become a threat to me and my people. I must of necessity prepare myself and advocate and promote to my people to defend ourselves and make preparations for defense. The Conservatives, Dominionists, and Alt-Righters have declared us Liberals, Progressives, and Secularists as their enemy because they can't evolve with the rest of us, will not evolve with the rest of us. Ok, they are my enemy and the enemy of my people, so be it. They have declared war against us so then we must now bring the war home to them. They started this shit. It is up to us to finish it.
