I'm actually encouraged that you recognize that Black Lives Matter is constituted of both white and black protestors...as not everyone seems to understand that.

I'll be interested to see if you help correct the next person who denigrates just the black folks...in the BLM movement.
OK. Let me revise my comment. When you say "Why... would you take greater outrage if you were a victim of a crime by someone in a protest group if they didn't have the same skin color as yourself?" I feel that you are making it about race.

Again... I truly believe there are many black and white (and asian. etc) people who feel very strongly that black people are not treated fairly. They are peacefully protesting.

I don't think the solution is easy by any means. Or something that can be solved "overnight."

But we're not moving toward finding solutions if we continue to goad people who post opinions that are in opposition to yours.
