While I am not in accordance with much that I hear coming out of BLM, I also find the over reactionary response to them combustable. This thread for instance. One, as OP states, the web site posting it is an ultra conservative website. And in it there are no mentions of BLM other than by one replier. Likewise there is only one mention of someone posting that that person was only going to loot in white neighborhoods. Only one. Yet our OP comes out and states in a reply that "they" are going to loot white neighborhoods. Just as the website takes one mention of BLM and turns it into a headline, so to does the OP take one mention of white neighborhoods by one person of unknown race and turns it into THEY,,,,,
As you correctly point out the situation in some of the more impoverished black neighborhoods is dire. I also agee that this loose confederation of people who call themselves BLM are not helping the matter. But blaming BLM generally for a few lowbrow tweets or posts does nothing but inflame the situation. This tendency to blame all for the few is racism,, black or white or whatever.

Terry will you eat your words when looting happens after the hurricane? You know there will be looting! I wonder if someone gets hurt what side you will be on? Do you think BLM will care or will it be more fuel for the fire they ignore by not addressing the issue.

As evidenced by the unfortunate star count for this OP.
You are aware i stated these facts when posting the article I even stated the nature of the blog yet people like you try to knock down the article simply because you are afraid to look. Even if it was 4 people blm should state it has no intention of doing something as pathetic and opertunistic as looting hurricane victims in the name of social justice.

Dig. There is a likelihood of looting after the hurricane. It is likely to happen. But I will blame it on poverty and not on race or BLM which to my reasoning does not represent more than a small portion of black people. And add to that, they are not elected but seem rather to be self appointed spokemen intent on advancing their own agenda. I do not assume from one mention of blm and one mention of looting in white towns to be anything more than the words of a few.

Not just poverty, but stupid, too.
Any white folks who loot, are they going to automatically be assumed to be BLM, too? Must say, I'm curious about that.

True or not Black Lives Matter is not a peaceful movement. Doesn't even care about what it claims to care about- black lives.

That just means you had an opinion before viewing facts. That is pathetic.

Considering the amount of racism and prejudice that has now become common on ATS,
Why not create a special section for it.
It could have sub-sections for each race and religion.
And you could name it the " HATE FORUM "
