I would have to disagree with your point that any organization turning to violence undermines their ideas. If you are opposing an entity that has a monopoly on force (like the government) there is a chance that you will have to not play by the rules when they won't let you play the game. The founders of the United States had to do this with the British government. That being said, BLM is not at all on that level and their ideas are, in my opinion stupid.

I think it is useful to recognize people stepping outside of their side of the dichotomy and speaking truth, which this BLM protester does. The fact that other BLM sects have denounced him with their usual means shows that this was quite the anomaly and his honesty was threatening to those "black lives matter, and other lives don't."

I agree that there has to be an all lives matter aspect to it. Or say "Black Lives Matter too." By only naming one race, it does lend itself to supremacist philosophies, which is dangerous every single time it has been practiced.

I stand against the essence of what the BLM movement has decided to manifest itself as, but I do recognize the grievances that many black people have in feeling undervalued in society. I think those who are angry have jumped to the wrong conclusions, and if they keep stepping back to look at the situation, like Newsome did here, they might see what the true cause of strife in the black community is.
