BLM protest…Black Lives Matter

All lives matter?

Fundamentally this should be a right for all human beings yet when it comes to blacks, the bar is set much lower for the quality of our existence. According to The Hill, a poll conducted by the Harvard-Harry survey suggests that 57 percent of Americans have a negative view of the Black Lives Matter movement; “Only 35 percent of whites have a favorable view of the movement, while 83 percent of blacks have a favorable view.” Yet white supremacist organizations which openly spew out hate against blacks and other people of color, are allowed to formulate, conduct meetings and rallies, and publish and distribute literature for their cause due to First Amendment rights.  Mind you, the reason for the creation of BLM was “in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman.” No violent assemblies have been documented  or are needed.
