Yet again, people not realizing that BLM, THE MOVEMENT, is a completely separate thing from BLM, the organization, is absurd.
It'd be like someone founding an organization called "Make America Great Again," and then their platform (one of several, because they were so unorganized) advocating for a complete police state where people could be shot dead in the streets for not wearing the correct form of identification. And then everyone on the left flipping their wigs and bemoaning the end of American society every time a Trump supporter had a MAGA sticker, despite the organization not being what the Trump supporter is actually supporting.
Critical thinking is your friend, guys.
Lots of money has gone to the organization, not the movement.
Lots of news interviews have gone to the organization, not the movement.
Is the Burning, Looting and Mugging being done by the movement, the organization or a third party financing the civil disobedience?
The overwhelming majority of these protests have been peaceful.

The media (particularly the cable news network the majority of people on this board watch) would like you to think otherwise, and constantly focuses on the few that aren't, but that's not the point.
Has anyone even heard of the BLM organization leaders? I bet not one single person on this board could name them. I know I couldn't. I had to look them up and had not heard of a single one of those ladies.
And yet there were hundreds of riots over the past several months.

It's not "civil disobedience" if it's violent. Nothing "civil" about that. Otherwise, an excellent question.

Actually, someone was shot dead in the streets just the other day for being a Trump supporter. The hypothetical is spot on when the labels are flipped: it is not hypothetical at all with the violent group correctly identified & it's the Marxists, not their opponents.
It doesn't really matter if one makes a distinction between the movement & the organization when they are perceived to be the same, share the same slogan, & are responsible for the vast majority of the riots, looting, & arson in 2020.
