I don't know about other Freepers but I've long been suspicious of the liberal's claims to support this movement. I've always assumed that liberals are generally at best ambivalent about the movement, and most liberals probably secretly hate it. Not only do I think that your average Democrat does not support BLM, I don't think that the Democratic presidential candidates or news anchors actually like BLM either. If anything the Democratic presidential candidates might hate BLM more than anybody because they're rudely interrupting half of the Democratic presidential rallies. (If anybody else acted the way BLM does at presidential rallies, they'd at least be lead by the police out of the rally with a warning that next time means arrest, and they probably wouldn't be even given a second chance and would just be shipped off to the county graybar hotel.) I actually asked this question on Yahoo Answers, and of course all the liberals claimed to be in support of the movement.
Obama and co helped create it. It’s an off-shoot of ‘ocuupy’. The leader of these groups are listed as visiting the WH.
White liberals are supporting it because in the long run, it is meeting their objectives.
“occupy”. Danged fingers.
BLM = “Bureau of Land Management?”
And they figure that they can control it.
All lives matter. Of course a Dem gov of MD got his lilly white chewed out for saying that. No debates for him.
My two cents: Most modern liberal Democrats (the Sanders supporters) favor BLM because those libs live in a fantasy world. They like to pretend they’re marching with Martin Luther King, or with Che Guevara.
So they support BLM. It’s hip, it’s cool, it’s progressive. But that’s not true of the JFK Democrats. Those folks are trying to pay the utility bills. They ignore BLM, and think about voting for Trump.

No Democrats don’t like them, but they need them in key states to win the nomination. BLM is nothing more than OWS by another name and remember Democrats were all for that, until they became a pet monster they no longer could control and endangered Obama’s chances in 2012 with their demands. Democrats will not allow BLM/OWS to run off the traditional Democrats in 2016 and thwy will go the way of OWS in 2012!
This is an organization created and coordinated by the White House / OFA in order to increase racial strife in America and to get people to buy into the meme that white Americans are racist. Either your agree with BLM that everything is racist, or if your disagree with them you are isolated and targeted as being a “racist.” It is a classic Leftist/Totalitarian tactic.
Most democrats hate everyone. They actually support the idea that the entire human race should die out, and allow the plants and animals take over the world.
The ‘Rats think of LBM as their chock troops — same as with “Occupy Wall Street”
Democrats are scared to death of blacks. They don’t want to be near them in any way, shape or form. They buy them off with welfare, food stamps and Section 8 housing. They talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk.
I actually think the rank-and-file libs totally support it. The Dem leaders, though, are a little bit savvier and realize it turns more people off than it energizes.
liberal white guilt, ALL libs I know dont even have a single non white person in their circle especially here in L.A. where white people are the minority
This is how we got Obama. Idiot liberals didn’t want to look like racists.
the democrats been trying to create their own tea party movement since tea party became popular. They tried with coffee party, occupy wall street, and blm. The problem with all those “movements” is that they’re started by democrats to support democrats. Tea Party was started to counter Republicans
Most people are probably neutral on the Bureau of Land Management and don’t care much about it either way.
Someone is bankrolling BLM. That’s more than pretending to like them.
