When did they do that?
Good question.
I see references to people forgiving Dylan Roof... but not the BLM organization.
Not sure if you realize that BLM is not a person? Are you asking for forgiveness on behalf of an organization/company that isn't human? The only thing you can get are persons that support the core principles of the movement.
Is 'BLM' in your title?
Do you have documentation that any of the people that offered forgiveness are BLM members?
Which is why I put BLM in quotes. I've seen several posts, even from you yourself categorizing a black person as "BLM". In fact, many of you phrased terms like "BLM kills dallas police", when the real truth is that the shooter actually did not support BLM or identify as a supporter.
Here in the church, all 9 victims were proud and open supporters of the movement, and so it's fair to say that BLM forgave the Dylann Roof, as that mercy spread throughout the entire organization. You did not see people calling for the murder of white people in churches after that incident, did you?
Let us not let bias and prejudice (that is so nasty it's in our courts and police departments) cloud the point of this topic.
What?!? The media was/is reporting this as a response to the Two recent shootings in MN and LA. Those kind of incidents are the crux of the BLM movement.

Doesn't your title say "...like BLM forgave Dylan Roof...?"
If you are going to quote me, be sure to use the quotes I used around BLM as well, as "BLM".

You're seeing things. He made his move during a BLM rally. Nobody has claimed that BLM was behind this.

So now you are saying that BLM is responsible for what happened in Dallas?
but using the same biased logic

I didn't say that. I said the MEDIA is reporting the spark that triggered his attack was those two shootings. Police shootings of Black Men is the main reason BLM exists, are you disputing that too? He was definitely influenced by those shootings and in general by the BLM movement. Are you denying that?

I am part black myself. Are you blaming me specifically for referring to black people as 'BLM' ?
I don't recall saying anything about your race, just the posts.

I wouldn't mind knowing who the 'you' that I highlighted refers to.
Gee, let me guess, I must mean "white people" when I say you people, right? Wrong, I'm refering to a specific group on ATS that uses this logic.

No.
When the BLM organization releases a memo stating that they forgive Dylann Roof for his actions, then it will be fair to say that.
And when the BLM organization releases a memo stating it's ok to loot, riot, and kill police officers, it will be fair to say BLM supports that.

I have seen certain New Black panthers calling for the killing of whites (even white babies) in general afterwards.
The NBP member that called for the killing of whites and babies was a lone crazy who was ejected from the group, and that video happened BEFORE the church shooting. It wasn't in response to any specific event.

It was actually the families of the murdered who forgave Roof. I don't recall BLM being involved nor was it mentioned that any of the families of the church were a part of BLM.

We don't have nearly enough info to assume things like "he wanted nothing to do with BLM" ect. BLM did not sponsor nor Orchestrated the attack. That being said, the rhetoric of "some" BLM supporters seems to encourage that kind of behavior in words and images and the Official BLM groups have not gone out of their way to to condemn violence directed toward the police. BLM as a whole would help themselves by condemning those kind of incendiary things. Chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry them up" and similar things doesn't help their cause. Saying it was just a few people doing the chant is not being truthful. When BLM Leaders call out their supporters at a Rally for that kind of statement, not afterwards, it would go a long way towards getting their point across. By blocking their ears to those chants, they increased the chance that someone would eventually attack the police like in Dallas.

We have plenty of evidence. The police that killed him stated his last words were that he wanted to kill white people and officers, that he does not support BLM and he was angry with BLM. You aren't saying the police is lying, are you? If they are perhaps we shouldn't feel so bad when they die. For inciting and what not.
During the standoff, Mr. Johnson, who was black, told police negotiators that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” Chief Brown said. “He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

You will have to provide proof of ALL o f those statement you just said. I have been following this and I have not seen anything about him not supporting BLM.

Wrong guess.
You are obviously lumping me into a group of people and I wanted to be clear on what group that you were referring to, thanks for clearing it up.

I didn't make that statement or anything like it.
YOU, however made the statement that claims that the BLM did forgive Dylann Roof, and your claim is baseless.

One of us is reading that wrong. I take "upset about BLM" in that context to be concerned about the shootings, not a condemnation of BLM as an organization. As I read it he was supporting black lives matters principles, not condemning the group
