Is the Black Lives Matter movement racist?

In CNN's town hall, Black, White & Blue: America 2016, an audience member asks if the Black Lives Matter movement is racist.

[dennissmith]

I am black, and this movement doesn't help us

[SteveBellinghamatHappyScience]

Yes it is racist, and when you add "Silence is violence" to try and make people feel guilty for not joining your racist movement, that is gross manipulation.

In my school I saw so many times black kids harassing and throwing racist slurs at Asian and Indian kids and sometimes it would get physical too, it was a really bad situation and still is.

You cant have an open conversation with people who think they are 100% right

[jzilla]

I’m black and I can say that white people always given me respect it’s the black folks that are angry and curse a lot

Finally found a comment section where I won’t be attacked for not believing in this.

Any Organization that Mentions Race in its Title is Inherently Racist. Doesn't Matter Which Race It Is.

What kind of world is it when someone saying “all lives matter” is ridiculed. Absolute madness!!

[freddiecucaracha]

It's funny because most blacks answer racism with racism, then proceed to say they're not racist.

I'm Korean and was just a school kid when 1992 LA riots happened and the police didnt come. My dad's medical practice had to shut down for a while. He was one of the few doctors working in this kind of community. There was no doctor that week or so. Initially had some mixed feelings about black lives matter movement because of course I experienced institutionalized racism but I saw black racism against Asians as well. Not sure if this movement is ultimately a good thing for our society.

The short answer is yes, the longer answer is

"whatever starts as a movement always turns into a business then eventually becomes a racket."

The burger analogy made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[bobjames]

As a Punjabi male I can easily say the most disrespect and assault I’ve faced in life has always been by blacks. To act like gang culture and black people should not be in the same sentence is insane!

[gregwelsh]

The hamburger analogy isn't simple, it's stupid.

[ericp]

Yes it's racist. If you didn't get a burger it's because you didn't pay for it. Stop waiting for handouts

[haruki]

They just don’t want people to discriminate them, but they can discriminate others

[oasis]

“Black” lives matter
Not Asian or Hispanic, or other group which are discriminated against.
That’s all
This is not genuine Discrimination Protest

[donnacarr]

It absolutely is and alot of us Black folk that are not playing the victim all the time will tell you this .

[yzyzyzyz]

that burger analogy made absolutely no sense lol
