Would the real BLM please stand up?
Which faction is the group in the OP?

I just made a post in this thread about the BLM shutting down Bernie Sanders again and the Conspiracy behind it.
Turns out the Official BLM has exposed at least one of these non-official BLM groups by their official name "OA206" which stands for "Outside Agitators 206". They have been co-opting the BLM name to cause trouble and gather support for themselves but are not supported by the actual BLM.
outsideagitators206.org...
This city is filled with white progressives, which is why Bernie Sanders’ camp was obviously expecting a friendly and consenting audience for today’s campaign visit. The problem with Sanders’, and with white Seattle progressives in general, is that they are utterly and totally useless (when not outright harmful) in terms of the fight for Black lives.
... Black Lives Matter Seattle Co-Founders,
Marissa Johnson and Mara Willaford.
The liberal media however wont touch these stats or address this issue in fear of being branded "racist" which doesn't make an iota of sense to me, but if the government/media wont address this situation then how do we stop it?
instead they just pump out the videos of black people being shot by cops making it look like its an epidemic when actually its a small minority,
perpetuating this "black people are victims" rhetoric, which doesn't address the ACTUAL problems, and creates movements like BLM which is anti-white and racist in of itself.

That's funny, because FOX has no problem throwing those stats around, so much for the "liberal media". Those stats are so asinine it's not even funny. If people are going to look at stats and proclaim that their is an "issue", then those same media outlets are over looking that fact that adult white males are pedophiles and teenage white males do nothing but drink and drive. And that's coming from your heralded stats, which I am using to show my point.

That is also incorrect. What folks like you are failing to account for is that now that cameras are ubiquitous with cell phones, the actions of the "boys in blue" can now be recorded and disseminated for everyone to see.

When any black person does something pro-black, like the BLM movement, the anglo-saxon crowd comes running out the cracks, foaming at the mouth with their eyes rolling into the back of their head talking about how "we all matter!" Well then, if all lives matter then come take this L, because those same Anglo-Saxons sure as hell make sure to remind you that your different from them, like you pounding the bully pulpit with your statistics.
The thing is, this is still an organic movement, there are no recognized leaders to speak of, so when you have a thousand voices all involved in the group you get the wild and crazy members who want to act out more radically than the general movement would want - and you get journalists wanting to capitalize on that for their own ends.
The same thing happens in every organic movement like this (and you all know it). But, I guess selective reasoning is generally accepted here, when it suits your primary objective, right guys?
