    No, I oppose BLM for two reasons:

    1. The protests where I live serve no purpose as everyone here agrees with them. They’re preaching to the choir to make themselves feel better instead of taking the protests where it might actually matter.

    2. They only care when the Black Life in question is taken by a white cop. 9 year old girl killed in a gang crossfire? BLM is fucking silent. Either BLM or they don’t. Be honest about it.

    Hear about Kaylah Love? No, of course not, because BLM doesn’t give two shits about Kaylah Love.

      BLM was a response to cops of all races taking the lives of black people, not just white cops. Your example is of someone who was murdered, but not by the cops.

      You should try reading the news more.
