I fully agree with Drew on this. BLM stands for the fight for equality within the black community. There's a clear and definite problem with racism here in America and they are trying to shed light on that fact. Whether it be racial profiling, being treated unjustly, etc., that is what they stand for. This Neo Nazi/white supremacist group has no business or right to exist. They wish to only spread hate towards all minorities and further drive them into the ground. It is nothing but a hate group that should be eliminated ASAP. In no way, shape, or form do these two groups have anything in common. In fact, it's pretty sad to see that people need to go that far to try and end a movement showing how racist America really is. Again, THERE IS NEVER A REASON FOR A RACIAL HATE GROUP TO COME ABOUT. |

Technically both have a right to exist as political movements, but BLM is definitely more justified in existing, sure. The neo-nazi movement is based predominately on hatred and discrimination against minorities, while BLM was meant to gain more rights for a certain minority group. When you take them at face value, one could be considered morally good, while the other is very obviously morally wrong. Since then, though, both movements have become violent and cancerous. Equally so, it could be argued. I think that's where the comparison lies. Neither is accomplishing anything, and any real goals that the BLM set out to accomplish have been swept around the rug due to the way the movement seems to conduct itself. |

Please, that's a false equivalency. There are violent and deplorable people within the BLM movement, sure, but the core message of the group and the many genuine, good people who are part of it still push for change, be it acknowledgement of the racism within the country, or holding police officers who are racist to account. Where are those kinds of people within the white supremacist and neo-nazi movement? And regarding Trump supporters, nobody's saying that they're all white supremacists. It's just...issues like this clearly aren't deal-breakers to them. |

How can you say a civil rights activist group fighting for racial equality in America is not legitimate or good? |

Come on, man, you totally implied it with your statement 'describing' both of the groups. Their cause is a good one, bringing light to the deep-seated racism that rears its head daily in America. There are bad people and elements within the movement, but there are good elements and people too. People can highjack movement's names for their own ends; can you tell me where Black Lives Matter officially endorses and advertises the acts of violence and 'thuggery' that you say occur as a part of it? There aren't any good people in white supremacist/neo-nazi groups, that's the difference. You won't find a 'good' white supremacist or a 'good' neo-nazi, because their core beliefs are vile and full of hatred. Also, no. They're perfectly fine with Trump not condemning white supremacists and neo-nazis when he was specifically asked to. Edited by Yu Narukami, Aug 14 2017, 04:50 PM.

Interestingly enough, the frequency is far less, however.
David Duke supported Trump, does he not count as a Trump supporter anymore? "We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back" He changed his tune when Trump finally got his act together and offered a proper denunciation, but it does seem like there are many Trump supporters who do in fact support that. And if not, then it's not a deal breaker to be associated with them.
The Confederates were rebellious states who got put down because they were upset over the very idea of slavery possibly going away, I see no issue in thinking that whining about their glory days is unjustified
Going purely by the numbers, it's utterly incomparable. The vast majority of terrorism in the United States ever since 9/11 has been conducted by ilk of the white supremacists and extreme right. |

I was unaware that denigrating and condemning whole groups of people based off of their skin color counted as fighting for racial equality. If that's the case, we should be counting these Neo-Nazi asshats and white supremacist morons as civil rights activists. |

Asking for more justice regarding police shootings is denigrating people by skin color? That's an interesting view on the matter. |

I'm not saying you're wrong, but can you provide examples of this? I'm more curious than anything. I also wasn't insinuating that they were exactly equal; rather, they're both extremely cancerous and have been shown to react violently. To back up Paladin, BLM has caused the deaths of several police officers. Edited by Doggo Champion 2k17, Aug 14 2017, 06:06 PM.

The Extremist Crime Database made some calcs on the numbers, here's a PBS article on it http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/analysis-deadly-threat-far-right-extremists-overshadowed-fear-islamic-terrorism/ Right wing terrorism takes up the majority of attacks, but causes less death than its contender Islamic terrorism because those tend to go "bigger" for lack of better word. Leftist terrorism isn't even a blip on the radar by comparison to the sheer volume of right wing inclined terrorism. It's like comparing a splinter in your foot to a spear being jammed through your gut. Sure, both technically pieces of wood stabbing into you, but very silly to compare them. Some more famous examples are Dylan Roof and the sovereign citizen movement, who are responsible for various police shootings(and are in fact considered the largest threat to police and one of the greatest threats domestically by the FBI) Edited by lazerbem, Aug 14 2017, 06:14 PM.

Shooting 5 police officers in Dallas, the riots in Milwaukee with them screaming 'f*** whitey!' while burning down their town, condemning other chapters of BLM for having a peaceful BBQ with their local police. It's interesting to think that would somehow help push for equality. I don't know, with all the riots going on every week, it's hard to believe anyone cares about actual equality at this point. Everything I've seen on any of these groups has lead me to believe they only care about superiority, not equality. I mean, I certainly don't disagree that black people are disproportionately affected by police in the U.S., I just disagree with the way people have gone about protesting the injustices. |

The fact that there isn't more of that means that your view is probably wrong on just how much violence there is. Certainly, it pales next to white supremacist attacks, if 5 cops at a time(tragic indeed, nonetheless) is the worst that can be mustered. Just with Dylann Roof alone, that's almost twice as many dead. Now include every other extreme right terrorist. |

Is this a contest for how many bodies one side has to pile up before we can condemn them? |
