BLM perhaps contains a small quantity of racism against whites however demonstrations across the world have been inclusive and tolerant to the most degree.
Of course, there will be minority in any movement that try to twist the agenda by radicalisation or by militarisation. But that doesn't mean to say we should allow that to taint our view.
Use the house on fire analogy. Does the fire brigade go to the house thats burning first or three doors up to make sure they're OK?

That house on fire analogy has been used too much. You could turn it around easily and say, does a fire brigade try to stop a bush fire, or does it go further ahead to prevent it spreading somewhere else. Writing an analogy to try to explain a situation like this is a lazy way of trying to win an argument.
