yes they did,, and white men still fight for righting wrongs today, like those seeking change in the elections,,,

i compare BLM to the occupiers 6 or 7 years ago. nothing factual to say, just a reason to disrupt the lives of true americans. Black lives matter, try telling that to the hundreds of black lives that were shot by Blacks in Chicago and other inner cities.

anyone can start a movement and they do come and go unless people have stamina and determination to keep it going

historically, the stamina and determination of black lives,, has not disappointed,,,

because there are criminals of all races who don't believe black lives matter doesn't mean that it is ok for the system to operate as if they don't,,

in no way should they be expected to be the same or be holding the same expectation of standards
