Black Lives Matter (BLM) has been affected by "outliers", often being warped into a hate group

Since you failed to define the term 'hate group', I will do so. Hate group - an organized group or movement that advocates and practices hatred, hostility, or violence towards member of a race, ethnicity, nation, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other designated sector of society.(1) I did not accept this challenge to argue that BLM is not a hate group; I believe that BLM has always been a hate group. Black Lives Matter was founded on July 13, 2013.(2) However, Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 protects makes it "unlawful for anyone acting under the authority of state law to deprive another person of his or her rights under the Constitution or federal law". Some popular claims brought against police officers are false arrest, malicious prosecution, excessive force, and failure to intervene. (3) Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that police officers do not and did not discriminate against people of color when the movement was founded. BLM was created as a response to "the anti-Black racism that permeates our society and also, unfortunately, our movements". The founder noted one specific event, the killing of Trayvon Martin and that he was " post-humously placed on trial for his own murder and the killer, George Zimmerman, was not held accountable for the crime he committed". (2) However, Zimmerman has claimed that he shot Trayvon in self defense and there was a fistfight before Trayvon was fatally shot, although it is unknown who threw the first punch. This is the point when it becomes hard to pull the race card. Some of Martin's texts have been released to the public, and what they show about him is damning. Apparently, he had been getting into fights, smoking weed, and talking about getting a gun with his friends. (5) So, does BLM actually have a valid reason for existing? Well, the answer is yes, but the reason is unfortunately to blame white people for all of their problems. Members of BLM chanted "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!" in celebration of the Baton Rogue shootings. This wasn't just 4 or 5 outliers. Here's a video of how many people were involved in this protest, skip to about 1 minute- . Also, is a compilation of tweets from the BLM movement- . If this is not a hate group, I don't know what is. I do agree with your point that they are causing racial stereotypes. When these policemen see these savages shooting other police officers and posting things on social media like "kill the whites", they are obviously going to keep a closer watch on black people. The biggest issue with BLM is that they do not want to be peaceful. This is why they have gone about shooting police officers and doing all of the other disgraceful things they have done. Yes, I am aware that you have acknowledged that these so called "outliers" are doing these things, but it seems like you don't realize just how many of these people are doing it. It's like BLM is TRYING to establish division of race. Why is it that every time a black person kills a white person, BLM wants to play the race card? Why is it that every time you see a police officer shot a man it is immediately assumed that there wasn't probable cause? The answer to these questions is that they want people to think that all white people and police are racists and that black people are being unfairly imprisoned and killed. That's simply wrong. Here are the facts: "In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks". Here's another one: "There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups."(6) So if BLM really wants to communicate that black lives matter, why don't they start with the black crime rate and black on black violence? Because they want to start a race war. (1) - https://en.wikipedia.org... (2) - http://blacklivesmatter.com... (3) - http://civilrights.findlaw.com... (4) - http://www.nytimes.com...
