Asi individual people, the members of the movement often have valid concerns and points. And other times their concerns are so deluded and ridiculous. By lumping them together to follow the same narrative, these student do not realize their legit stories are being warped and contrived to further a new, different goal they may not even support or may actually directly hurt them.

This is very common with all reactionary groups that are formed with no official inner structure and have loose membership based on whoever feels they want to be a part of something. Occupy Wall street, for example, was torn to shreds over the media picking and choosing to interview the stupidest and most fringe membes of the group. The religious freedom movement with Kim Davis ballooned into something that had nothing to do with Kim herself, or religion for that matter.

The structure of this group doesn't allow for any one person from within to define itself, so whoever speaks the loudest and gets the most airtime will ultimately becomes the exposure that other people see and use to define it. It also means new members think when they join the movement, that's what it's all about. Whether or not I agree with their message, I sympathize for those who are going about this the correct and civil way and get told to shut up because they are operating under the same name as the immature fringe members ruining everything.

The movement as a whole is being perceived so negatively that I don't know that they can recover from the PR damage and still hope to obtain all meaningful resolution they seek.

The basis for blacklivesmatter was originally fueled by police brutality. The stereotype that black people are more likely to be at the suspension of cops I feel is correct. However, the way they went out protesting at events such as the Ferguson, made their cause tear at the seems before any real progress could be made. So from the very beginning the group was aligning themselves with violence and hate which soon started called for the death of cops.

And as the group stands now, people who don't give them special treatment (especially white people) are all deemed racist for their "silence". As if the whole world needs to apologize to them for being insulted or getting the piss taken out of. At this point they are creating more problems than they know how to solve...so instead of solving them they blame everyone else for their problems.

Yes, they didn't have much structure to begin with and it's usually the loudest that gets the most attention but I have yet to see anyone a part of blacklivesmatter that protest or call out the ones who are loud. I have yet to see a middle man in this group because it seems you're either in or out. And the worst part is, the group got outset when attention was taken away from it and placed back on the Middle East and now France. They look like a bunch of attention whoring cry babies because they have lost value in comparison to resent events.

I hope they don't recover. I hope that if some is to rise form all their crap that it would be a group more fiocused on fixing the problems with the police and encouraging people to help brake the stereotype rather than being obnoxious brats that stand for nothing.

It's not inaccurate. This is the year of social justice bullshit. People can make the wildest claims and someone will still back them up.

What we (specifically tumblr) has done is enabled a generation of selfish, entitled bitches who think that their feels are more important than facts. It's accepted now that blacks are more likely to be prosecuted/questioned by police, but for them to say that this issue in Missouri is an important one, or more important than literally anything else going on right now, is laughable at best.
