*"BLM’s cult-like tactics are more like those of a violent gang than a traditional civil rights group fighting against racial discrimination."
*BLM is seen as a radical problem that has no beneficial outcome and instead claims to "hurt us" instead of help us.
-Bias? Yes. They are an extremely conservative news source. This means that they are against defunding the police, which is one of the goals of the BLM movement.
-Cultural impact?
This article invalidates the BLM Movement as a whole, which claims that there is no systematic racism in the government, which therefore places more tension between the white and black races and much more tension between political parties.
-Effects of Message:
Provides the movement with negative feedback and portrays the BLM Movement as something terrible instead of revolutionary.

I believe that there is justice to be had and we are just at the beginning of the journey to complete equality across the nation.]]> 2020-09-24 17:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/avamoore226/9v12alsx3yfuo93t/wish/776896081 What is the BLM Movement? Backstory? avamoore226 https://padlet.com/avamoore226/9v12alsx3yfuo93t/wish/776897270 -BLM, first things first, stands for the saying "Black Lives Matter".
-How did it arise? The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, all innocent black individuals went viral and a call for action against the systematic racism that our country was built off and still claim to be the "Land of the Free" and that all men are STILL created equal.
-BLM has been a hashtag since 2013, and has been a topic of discussion since then. After the deaths of the three individuals listed above and many many more, protests began at the end of May this year (2020).
-George Floyd was killed by a police officer placing his knee on his neck on May 25th, 2020. ]]> 2020-09-24 17:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/avamoore226/9v12alsx3yfuo93t/wish/776897270 Media Portrayal Neutral towards BLM avamoore226 https://padlet.com/avamoore226/9v12alsx3yfuo93t/wish/776899792 -Portrayal of BLM:
As a protest that hasn't gotten the same amount of media coverage as other movements have, such as the Women's Rights Movement, and backs this up with statistical evidence.
-Bias? No, the article went out of it's way to provide the information and no bias so that the audience was able to completely understand the situation.

Not much cultural impact, as it just gives numbers so that you are able to come to your own conclusion. Does prove that BLM has significantly less media coverage compared to others.

I believe that the BLM is completely vital in calling to action a change in the government that still claims to be the "land of the free" and that "all men are created equal".
