"Poll Reveals that White America Views Black Lives Matter Movement as a Distraction"

"That’s just one of the insights from a new poll from PBS NewsHour and Marist College’s Institute for Public Opinion, which was conducted in advance of the PBS broadcast of “America After Charleston.” Across the board, white respondents felt that blacks enjoy more opportunities than that group identified for itself....

When it comes to the Black Lives Matter movement, 59 percent of whites polled thought it distracted attention from the real issues of racial discrimination, while just 26 percent of African Americans agreed. And while 67 percent of blacks view it as a movement, just 46 percent of whites think so—and 40 percent think it’s just a “slogan.” Fully 41 percent think it advocates violence."

And I bet that a bunch of these people would proudly let you know about their black friends/co-workers.
