BLM  is not a new idea because some bad police killed some black people...  it is a movement of hatred for whites that goes back not just 100 years nor does it just go back to the Civil War, but it has its roots in the first black people who were sold as slaves in Great Britain's New Colonies in America...  And, our US CONSTITUTION approved in 1776 did not consider black people to be equal which only served to make the situation worse...  and, it worsened even more after the Civil War because Blacks were really not accepted anywhere in the US, including the North.  No wonder we have the hatred and violence that we have today.  Whites in America gave the Blacks a REASON TO HATE THEM AND THEIR COUNTRY...
