Even the Kentucky Derby wasn't safe. Today's race was turned into a BLM commercial.

The backlash against BLM is steadily growing. I see so many signs. You cant pay attention to the media or even social media. In person I've never seen so much normie disgust at something in my life. As long as there are no black people present people are increasingly starting to openly talk about how done they are with it. I thought Trump was finished, but now I think he has a decent chance of winning thanks almost exclusively to BLM and antifa.

Most of the protesters were white. They have massive support (all non-whites and at least half of whites). The few whites that oppose will never speak up about it or do ANYTHING, so that's useless.

Where did u get that more than half of whites support them?

Because around half of whites are liberal or at least anti-racist.

Based on what? The vast majority of whites that voted in 2016, voted for Trump, and I doubt very many of them suddenly went woke. Polls have shown that the majority of whites now oppose BLM, despite there being intense pressure for them to pretend they support them.

I think you have a small but hardcore group of whites that support BLM, or at least openly advocate for them out of intense peer pressure or because they are hardcore shitlib antifa types, a larger group that are uneasy about them but again because of fear of social stigma, loss of job or even violence go along with it, and then the silent majority that are thoroughly fed up with them.

Good point I forgot about. I think all it takes is another George Floyd video to get lots of them supporting BLM though. Maybe it's just the constant rioting they object to.
