Quote:If you're eliminating their history in order to draw a parallel to BLM, it looks agenda driven. It's a false equivalence. The two are not the same. Hopefully, we never witness again the things the KKK did. The fact that they are still around despite these atrocities kind of points to that history being swept under the rug. If ppl have a problem with BLM, they should be able to point out their faults without comparing them to the KKK.

As it stands they are not equaled based on historical events, but the issue is the trending in such a direction. Do we ignore the rhetoric and have it blossom into the Black Panthers and then to the level of the 50s and 60s KKK? That's just ignorant. I believe the reason they are being compared to the KKK at this point in time is based on recent history, not the atrocities of the past. When you take that approach, you can see the similarities. In fact, you see escalation beyond that of the current KKK. This is where it is getting dangerous. The BLM is no more useful or legitimate than the KKK. Both are racist entities that thrive off of division and ignorance. No need for it.
