This is why people can't gel with BLM.....

Hawk Newsome, president of the Greater New York Black Lives Matter, reiterated that if the movement doesn’t get what it wants, it will "burn down this system.”

His comments came Wednesday evening during an interview on the Fox News show “The Story With Martha MacCallum.”

MacCallum had questioned him about comments he'd made in the past regarding the need for violence in certain situations.

He replied that he had said: “If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right? And I could be speaking ... figuratively. I could be speaking literally. It's a matter of interpretation.

Per usual, Fox News intentionally tracks down the scariest black man they can to warn them of the rampaging negro hordes that will come about if Trump loses.

Most Americans support the slogan, but do they actually support the movement?

I stand corrected.  I do doubt that most Americans have read what's on the BLM website.

BLM has a website? You are under the misimpression that BLM is anything remotely close to a United organization like labor unions or the NRA.

I was under the impression that they ARE an actual organization, one that I have taken issue with actually on a few occasions. Most of tjhe movement though, especially in the last 2 or 3 years, is not directly affiliated wjth the organization, though they share almost identical goals.

There are various nonprofits that use the BLM moniker, but they are very Loosely coordinated at best, and hardly encompass the actual BLM movement itself.

I guess it's complicated.  The BLM website claims that three women founded the movement and the organization.  I should probably look more into it.

The one thing that is certain is that they have no control over a big section of the movement.
