Y’all should hear about my experience with BLM at the Boston Anti-Nazi Rally. 1/

BLM is not starting riots. They’re stopping them. 15/15

Antifa is really trying to give everyone on the left a bad name, despite being a (non)organization whose primary identity is anarchy. I found this website interesting:
https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/who-were-the-groups-protesting-in-charlottesville/3986723.html
The groups attending the protest had members from White Supremacist, Alt-Right, KKK, Neo-Nazi, Neo-Confederate, and Traditional Workers Party groups. Almost all of these groups are openly and definitively racist (The Traditional Workers party is a bit more coy). The counterprotesters on the other hand were comprised of Antifa and BLM. Although they don’t have an official stance on violence, it’s pretty clear by their founding principles that BLM favors nonviolence and respects the rule of law. Antifa does not, and until the Left can easily and forcefully denounce and reject Antifa, it’s going to forfeit the moral high ground, no matter how well behaved its counterprotests are.
