    I wouldn't call them either, since they are hardly an organized group but rather a collection of loosely affiliated(if even that) individuals who rally under a Twitter hashtag on social media. Certainly there have been people aligned with this group who've done idiotic and violent things. But considering the way this movement spawned online as a hashtag response during the Ferguson incidents and considering that to be a part of BLM you pretty much just have to say "I'm a part of BLM" or use the hashtag a lot, even comparing them to groups like the KKK is putting them a step or two above the level of organization and direction that even the KKK still possess. I'd be willing to bet that even a good number of the folks who claim to support "them" aren't really sure if they're supporting a group or a cause.

    Now that said, it's safe to say that a lot of the folks acting under the banner of BLM, whether they do so with it as a cause or in support of whatever actual group BLM might be, are doing idiotic things that are not only violent and sometimes illegal, but are just plain stupid stupid stupid in the course of trying to achieve their goal. When the name BLM first originated online, I thought it was an okay idea and could see where they were coming from, sometimes. But angry idiots have done a great job of peeing all over any goodwill that the movement might have once had outside black activist circles.

    BLM is certainly a racist hate group but their greatest interest is in getting more free stuff from government because the truth is that most of them can't compete with whites and asians. The truth hurts doesn't it.

    They aren't. Cops kill more whites than blacks. Its just that blacks commit violent crime at three times the rate of the general population and so they are encountering the police more often than any other race.

    Kind of like ISIS who inspires most of the recent terrorist attacks, without actually directing them.

    This one is easy to sum up...

    Terrorism - the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. (BLM definitely does this. "No justice no peace")
    Hate Group - A hate group is an organized group or movement that advocates and practices hatred, hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, nation, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other designated sector of society. (BLM also does this)

    So to put things in perspective, BLM is a terrorist hate group. They should be outlawed and anyone that supports them should be viewed as a terrorist.

    But being a Trump supporter makes you a white supremacist and KKK affiliate. Funny how that works. Anyways, yes, carrying a BLM sign fully makes you an official member of the organization. It's not like you have to fill out paperwork to become a rioting, looting, bottom feeding BLM member.

    Your outlook is poor and stuck in the 1930's. I strongly advise you to move yourself and your ideology into the 21st century, where saying a somewhat remote slur to a black man will forever ruin your career, much less indiscriminately killing one.

    I think BLM is the living manifestation of universal LOVE.

    Does a part of a whole represent or typify the whole?

    What evidence do you have that the above definition fits the mission statement of the BLM organization? Can you show me where on their website they advocate violence?

    I wonder the destruction the left would cause if Trump won. If it's this bad now under a black President, they might turn to heavy artillery if Trump wins.

    They don't openly advocate violence they condone ad subliminally suggest it's ok. Perception is everything to an uneducated or upset person. First impression you get on their websites is aggressive, militant even due to the stark black and gold coloring and bold type, it just goes on from there with their mission statements and communications. Then idiots pick up that emotionally charged rhetoric and run with it

    Since it does when it comes to the support of Donald Trump, I'll go with yes.

    How many BLM members are there and how many support or engage in terrorist activities? Source citation needed for any claim made else I will see your response as opinion.

    "No justice no peace" wasn't a slogan they pulled out of their ass for sh*ts and giggles. That's a direct threat that if they don't get the justice they demand, you won't get the peace you ask for. If you're overlooking that aspect, you're part of the problem.

    This election I think has escalated BLMs actions and those of their " agitators " Hillary has made this a race election as proven during the debate with her " we are all biased " comments and racist ads.

    Kind of turning into the perfect storm for an escalation in violence. Racial tensions are high everywhere just walking down the street you can feel it
