What is wrong with the BLM movement

I’m uneducated on the topic but I mean the statement as a whole is obviously true Black Lives Matter. When did they not? I see so many young people posting the black out thing but I feel like they don’t know what they are really actually supporting.

My understanding is that BLM is an organization created specifically to address racial inequality as it pertains to law enforcement‘s actions towards African Americans. Through racial profiling, there’s been a documented history of law enforcement treating blacks more aggressively and, in many cases, resulting in deaths. They believe there is systemic racism within the law enforcement community that has been neglected for generations and must be addressed.

Black Lives Matter does NOT matter when it is blacks killing other blacks. If you don't believe this, look for the protests every Monday morning after a weekend of blacks killing blacks in Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, etc.

The "black community's" problems all start from within yet they never want to acknowledge it or fix it. So instead, they blame mean old whitey. That's why I don't pay any attention to their "movement".

More aggressively, really? Then why do more white suspect die in interaction with the police than black people?

Black lives do in fact matter, but what makes most people that are left or radical mad is the fact that All lives matter. If you are white, and in the majority, you must now adhere to the notion that your life is less important, because you aren't a minority. This line of thinking has racist tones, and leads to a road going absolutely nowhere in terms of agreement and accord.
Until people know we are all one nation under God the creator from whom we all live and breathe, there will be absolutely no positive movement in healing what is broken.

I don’t have any problem saying that black lives matter just like all lives matter. I do have a problem with what they stand of and their inability to distance themselves from violence and vandalism.
The fact that the whole organization was founded on a bullshite story of hands up don’t shoot that Obama’s DOJ found was completely false.
Or just look on their website “about us”
False
Cisgender privilege? More made up words. Nope. Doesn’t exist.
They don’t support the idea of black families? How is that south side village doing right now?

If their message was "no justice no peace" and they used completely peaceful methods I would be fine with them. However their message is "no revenge no peace" and they aren't always peaceful.

Nah, BLM is a marxist organization using civil rights as a shield. Their solution for "systemic racism" is to implement a new system - communism. Go look at their website. Look at their list of goals.

black lives do not matter to blacks.
Thats why there is confusion.

It wouldn't be in existence, but it is because of ignorant statements like that..black on black crime,white on white crime takes place and those individuals go to jail,blm deals with those designed to protect the human race more times than not killing unarmed black people.

While I agree we aren’t helping our cause with the senseless acts of violence, but you must live in an alternate universe to believe all of our problems come from within and that’s history of being treated as less of a person hasn’t played a huge role in these developments

They believe that systemic racism exists throughout every domain of society.

herd mentality and prisoners of the moment. The vast majority of people will forget about this in a week or two, just like they have with every other cause that draws attention to profile pics on social media.

Police are more aggressive with more aggressive criminals.
Young black males, which only make up about 4 or 5% of American's population also commit nearly half the murders.
I don't think its biological, I think it's cultural. But whatever it is it's real and will effect how police interact with you.
The police aren't going to let you go if your resisting arrest just because they met their "getting physical with black citizens" cap for the month.
Expecting equality in that area is, frankly, fricking insane considering the gigantic inequities with respect to behavior.

So black lives only matter when it’s a white cop involved, who got arrested to your other point. What about when a black criminal kills an innocent black child? I don’t see riots or black boxes on IG
