Its not my fault people want to hear what i say an respond to it. Sounds to me like bait is just something people like responding too.

Prove me wrong then
Starting off, Micah Xavier Johnson, the shooter at the Dallas BLM rally, was not in any way affiliated with BLM.

At a press conference, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said that Johnson, who had not been identified at the time, was upset about the recent killings of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, and told the hostage negotiator that he wanted “kill white people, especially white officers.” Johnson was acting alone and not affiliated with Black Lives Matter, a group for which he also expressed anger.

So the shooter considering himself an "unaffiliated entity." But even if he did consider himself a part of BLM, that wouldn't link back to the roots of BLM itself because it's a movement, not an organization. Wikipedia defines BLM as "an international activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence toward black people." So unlike an organized effort with set-up goals such as the Nation of Islam or the Black Panthers, BLM is literally something anyone can just claim to represent.

But let's say by all means BLM is an "organization." Well, self-described "leaders" of the movement have already condemned the shooting.

#BlackLivesMatter advocates dignity, justice and freedom. Not murder.

So, BLM is not an organization, but a movement with no true leaders (besides somewhat prominent individuals) or set agenda, simply a statement. And the claim by the petition that BLM promotes "the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims" is stretching the definition greatly, because the majority of BLM protests involve peaceful means of protest, with the examples used are several isolated incidents such as Ferguson and Baltimore where tensions between protesters and police reached their peak. Correlation does not imply causation.

The Dallas shooter shot police because of racial tensions BLM helped create. He doesn't like BLM because they aren't nearly as radical as he wanted.

He was trying to rally BLM people into a full scale war and got no support so that's why he doesn't like BLM.

So then why are you blaming BLM when "they" rejected him? Unless, of course, you're just trying to turn this into an "us vs. them" issue, which ultimately leads to nothing being done and no one being satisfied.

Every time something like Dallas, Ferguson or Baltimore happens and people begin to choose sides on race issues I try to find some middle ground and some kind of paradigm shift, only for both BLM nuts and the nuts who oppose them to beat moderates over the head to force them into two camps. Like it's inconceivable to work on solutions together for a common problem, and the least bit of concession is apparently the worst thing on Earth. You don't throw your back immediately onto BLM, you're tribal, white cis scum. You don't want to call BLM terrorists, well then you're defending them and you support violence.

It's amazing how much the left and right claim to be completely different from one another, and yet in reality they're completely the same when it comes to actually discussing the issues. At that point, does it really become about the actual issue at hand? Or does it just become another "us vs. them" situation where the only importance is further whatever political agendas we support. At that point, the actual lives lost just become less meaningful and more just political fodder.

In the end or the day racial tensions BLM created that didn't actually exist encouraged the shooting in the first place.

But let's say by all means BLM is an "organization." Well, self-described "leaders" of the movement have already condemned the shooting.
"...advocates dignity, justice and freedom. Not murder."

That's pretty strange given how there are videos of them calling for the death of cops. Can anyone smell a kilt?

because the majority of BLM protests involve peaceful means of protest,

Does the work extremist mean anything to you?

As much as we all hate BLM, there is no way in hell it is a terrorist organization. Their goals are justice and respect for black people, their modus operandi peaceful protests. Just for comparison, most terrorist organizations seek political goals and use violence and fear to achieve its goal. BLM seeks humanitarian reform goals and uses nonviolence to achieve its goals. How are they even comparable?
