Seems to me that a lot of you white guys here are the ones who do not know what BLM is complaining about.  And that is why they are so upset.  I still do not agree with their extreme tactics, but it is clear that many white people are still ignorant of what exactly BLM is protesting.

If police were not so eager to lie to protect the bad cops maybe more people would accept the "one bad apple" line.

You say this as if people within a black community wouldn't collectively lie to protect one of their own. Claiming guys like Sterling were these innocent angels, pillars of the community, although he had a rap sheet a mile long, and at the time of the incident was a felony in possession of a weapon.

My sibling is biracial and ive witnessed discrimination first hand. So I don't like to see anyone put down based on the color of their skin, but I think the BLM is inherently racist and divisive.

If it accomplishing anything it incenses and intensifies racial tension in some of these communities.
