I think those rules only apply in the Breaking news section. I star and flagged though because I agree, BLM uses George Soros money to try and tear apart America, and some are occasionally caught lying when they dont get enough attention. That just means ignoring them is starting to work. There only option soon is to commit actual violence, which will seal their own fate and be listed as a terrorist organization.
Now if we can only come up with a plan to get rid of the other BLM, the bloated federal agency that has been stealing state land for decades now ...

One person doesn't speak for a movement, sort of in the same way that one person doesn't speak for a religion.
Right? Or are the rules different for different groups?

Claims of racism are also not always false.
The rhetoric of American right-wing politics is that we are "post-racial" which, by and large, is a big tub of crap.
There is a "White Lives Matter" movement ... it's called American society.
The focus in these anti-BLM posts is always semantic ... "why isn't it ALL lives matter?" etc.
BLM started and is evolving to accomplish specific goals with a specific focus: Black Lives Matter website.
If you haven't, why don't you go read a bit on what the movement actually stands for, rather than going with media reports?
You may be surprised.
Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.
Black on Black crime is a recognized issue and different parts of the Black community are addressing it.
"Playing the victim" is merely political rhetoric.
As far as "blaming everyone else for their own failures" ... without more evidence of what you mean, that sounds more than a bit biased ... what "failures"? You're just repeating standard cant.
Failure to duck a vigilante's bullet?
Failure of an unarmed Black man to avoid being shot by police?
