(BLM)
1. A movement to outline and expose the unfair treatment and extreme brutality of police against black people.
2. A Marxist organisation that is under the guise of "1" created by three black sociology students from San Francisco, CA who have attempted other viral movements that failed. Their success lies in having creating a viral movement that people actually believe in. What they have outlined as they guide and change BLM directly shows that they do not actually care about people, but want to attempt to change the United States into a Marxist society.
"ACAB", and "defund the police" are also related to this movement.
Most definitions related to the movement that are widely accepted were not made up by the founders, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi.

Alicia: I kinda like the idea of Marxism... But all of my other political reform plans have failed
Opal: don't give up, something will work!
Patrisse: omg the police just killed another black man SMH this HAS to STOP! It's like they don't even care about our lives...
Alicia: I've got it! Black lives matter!

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people. They also are a movement for the injustices in all races and minorities.
Person 1: I’m sorry I just don’t support the Black Lives Matter movement, because all lives matter not just black ones.
Person 2: Of course all lives matter but they can’t all matter until Black Lives Matter. And we’re not saying ONLY Black Lives Matter, black lives are just in need right now and they need our help.
Person 1: Oh I didn’t think of it like that. Thank you for educating me!

Black lives matter also known as (BLM). This year 2020 we have been having a lot of protests about this movement.Because black peoples and other people of color are not treated as equal as white people.
And it’s not fair so we are doing as much as we can to be equal. And when people say why do y'all only say black lives matter all lives matter. We are not saying black people matter more. We are saying we matter just as much.
And a lot of black peoples have their hands up and still get shot. And we we say we can’t breathe they act like they can’t hear. We all have a voice use them or do something to help. Plz because you would want to be treated this way would you. So help someone one out use your voice.
