American national election studies reported in 1964 what Americans thought of the civil rights movement. They believe it has been pushed too fast and that most black people are violent and cause their own problem. It is not blacks who have a sense of entitlement or are the victims, as racism should be fought. Is BLM living up to these standards? Black Lives Matter has no Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. In the 20th century, religious leaders of the civil rights movement played an important role in the fight for justice. The reaction to the killing of several African Americans would have been just as strong if it weren't for BLM. The civil rights movement would not have been so abrupt if it were not for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), or the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and many others civil rights organizations? ? Many years ago the KKK was labeled a hate group for obvious reasons. Lately a new group, Black Lives Matter, has emerged in our society creating the same threat and domestic terrorism as the KKK. -Michael Hamilton of Denver,
