You probably never heard of Yusra Khogali before.

As the co-founder of the Toronto chapter of Black Lives Matter, Khogali is used to being an outspoken leader for a movement that has seen more publicity than nearly any other activist group in North America over the past two years. She has been at the forefront of nearly every racialized controversy in Toronto and is one of the most visible members of the organization.

oh dear
She's an idiot that will likely be made to step down, she doesn't reflect the cause and the only reason you are so focused on her is because you believe it gives you a reason to tear down BLM because for some reason the idea of equal civil rights offends you.

Try again, LT and put some effort into it this time.

I did not write the article that rather exposes what you claim as rather...inaccurate

It'd be like me pointing at people like Richard Spencer or David Duke and saying 'These people are Nazis! All Right Wingers are Nazis because I've decided to focus on these two people in particular and judge everyone by their standards!' It's dumb, not all Right Wing people are bigoted and it'd be wrong to throw them all in with the Alt-Right Nazis just because of a passing association.
Would you class all edl or britain first members as racists?

What's the point of this example? Are you comparing BLM to the EDL and Britain First? If so then that's a fatally flawed comparison. The BLM movement started as a protest against racially charged police brutality, The EDL was quite literally formed from an alliance of football hooligans associated with different clubs. It's aim isn't about equality or highlighting social issues but to target, intimidate and attack muslims and/or people who aren't white. Britain First was created to protest multi-culturism and it often pulls stunts aimed at harassing muslim and arabic people, again BF isn't trying to correct an civil injustice, it wants to inflict that injustice on people whose faces don't fit with their idea of a 'traditional' (read: White) Britain.

I'm not going to lie and say that there aren't misguided people who are apart of the BLM movement like that idiot in the article but they are the exception, not the rule. That idiot will and should be disavowed by everyone who supports BLM because they aren't representative of it's ideals. BLM isn't about attacking white people, unlike EDL and BF, it's not about stirring up racial hatred, it's about highlighting and correcting institutional racism and racially charged police brutality.

As for your question, yes. EDL and Britain First are filled with racists and/or supremely ignorant people because those organisations were built on racist ideals and goals. To claim otherwise is to lie and to suggest that they are similar is ignorant.

Well, that's obvious to everyone and it doesn't disprove what I said.

Just because you didn't write the article doesn't mean that you don't have an issue with BLM because it's goals make you uncomfortable. You linked the article because that is what you believe.
