 * Issues with Race**

September 2017: Black Lives Matter shouts down ACLU claiming they protect all free speech including speech they don't agree with (which BLM considers to be hate speech). Ironically, the ACLU supports liberal and secular-progressive values and has been very sympathetic to BLM. However, BLM feels that speech they disagree with is hate speech and therefore should not be allowed and they feel since the ACLU defends free speech that they are a white supremacist group. This is just one example of how the term "white supremacy" is starting to be used more and more to discredit viewpoints that the group accusing others does not want to hear. BLM does not want to hear someone say that most of the police are good and target crime, not race,..they would consider that hate speech since they believe the police target minorities because of race. BLM was shouting "free speech is hate speech" and even shouted that "liberalism is white supremacy" (again, ironic because liberals are the ideology sympathetic and supportive of BLM). media type="youtube" key="3r7-CH4Mt5g" width="560" height="315"
