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?

Seems like an anarchistic majority to me. No self respecting person can righteously extend George FGloyd's murder into a movement in the UK that demand we eradicate parts of our history.

The transport of 84,000 slaves and subsequent death of 18,000 (ish) would balance that out then.
