hmmmm.... if I didn't know better, I would swear I know you. That sounds just like something a friend of mine would have sent me!

We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement.

While there are some good points in the definition, nowhere on the site does it say that they want people of Asian culture to stop being targeted and oppressed. Or Mexicans too. Or any other race. Their stance is that they, alone, are victims. All Blacks. This victim narrative is dangerous for anyone of any race to believe in if they want to succeed. I'm not minimizing that it is tough for an inner-city black kid to rise above the poverty line. But it can be done. There all plenty of success stories to back this up. It starts with self-awareness.

Our mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes

This narrative is again omitting any option that anyone other than white people can be racist.

Final summation: All racism is defined by BLM as White on Black racism.

Addressing white supremists for what they are is their point. Sorry vapid white supremacy is an actual issue to black people?

In short it simply just means black lives matter, they matter, just as much as everyone else. They matter too.

Its nothing to do with white vrs black people.

Fair enough, then why isn't the title of their organization 'Fight White Supremacy'?

I congratulate you for declining to participate in obvious virtue signaling.
NO person should be intimidated into joining anything.

It's no different than saying to a black person: "If you don't support us...you ain't black."

No no. You are racist if you do support them. You just had it backwards.

I am of the opinion that any organization, group, gang, etc. that operates under the idea of a skin color is racist by definition.
There is a Congressional Black Caucus. Why? The specific concerns of the black population can be heard and addressed by Congress as a whole, of all parties and skin color.
It would undoubtedly be racist to have a White Congressional Caucus. I say what's the difference. Until people stop caring about race, there will always be racism.
Black Lives Matter? Well of course they do, equal to white, brown, red, yellow, and any other human lives.
