How to answer the question "What is your opinion of Black Lives Matter"

I think that's a good starting point.

Nothing wrong with the phrase obviously but that doesn't mean that you have to adopt the tenants of the organization which have pretty much nothing to do with the phrase.

Please clarify, do you mean the phrase or the organization?

I have to give BLM some credit. What a brilliant branding they have done by blending these two the way they have

I support the phrase

Specificlaly in relation to criminal justice reform. But then I’d shift to say all lives matter because innocent whites and other races are killed by cops and innocent cops are killed in the line duty.

End civil asset forfeiture
End no knock warrants
Fund police to get more hours of training. No more choking and kneeling on necks and backs.

That’s it.

I fervently do not support BLM organization. It is a Marxist group.

You mean America's second terrorist organization, just behind the KKK?

Funny how the democrats keep doing this.

Look, you guys suck at branding. Calling them marxists and Maoists is going to be met by blank stares.

They need to be branded as separatists, that's simple enough for the sheep to digest.

You think the sheep will understand what that means?

I think a lot of the ideas revolving around criminal justice reform and acknowledging the raw deal American blacks have received historically are complete legit.

I think the BLM movement is aimless allowing it to be hijacked by radicals with incredibly dangerous ideas and motivations.

I think black Americans with legitimate concerns are once again being used for purposes against their interests.

I think Kaepernick is fraud and I have zero respect for him.

I think “All Lives Matter” is a bad response and misses the point.

I think Derrick Chauvin is a murder.

I think the two rednecks that killed Arbery should spend the rest of their lives in jail.

I think Officer Roth was completely justified in killing Brooks.

I’m tired of shallow, simple opinions on complex issues.

I’m tired of an incompetent and fraudulent media.

I’m tired of the political parties.

The simplest way to diffuse this would be to say:

“Black lives have always mattered to me. What about you?”

Which opens a window to discuss crime in general along with abortion stats

Platitudes meant to pander come across as disingenuous/opportunistic , which is why I refuse to be pressured into commenting about a political movement that has an agenda

PS: this is how I will respond if asked in a public setting

"Unlike most black people, all black lives matter to me, including the ones killed by black people."

Racist.

Both.

But, the organization is also a liberal cloak for socialist.

Truly All Lives Matter. And use of ALL as an appeal for equality for any and all races is the moral high ground. Black is used to divide and promote “Democratic Socialism”.
