The Black Lives Matter movement has been making headlines across this country for pointing out police misconduct and that not everyone in our country is receiving the same amount of justice. Many Americans view the movement as their saving grace, thankful that the masses are able to finally see the injustices that they face. However, some Americans, such as Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, do not view the movement in such high regard. On the Aug. 31 edition of “The O’Reilly Factor” he stated “I think they’re a hate group… and I’m going to put them out of business.”

Fox News has run banners onscreen that read “murder movement” when referring to BLM, and Fox & Friends co-host Elisabeth Hasslebeck has asked “why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group? How much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?”

Both O’Reilly and Hasslebeck were speaking about the murder of police officers at the hands of black men when they made their statements; murders that were not linked to the Black Lives Matter movement.

A hate group could be described as an organized group or movement that advocates and practices hatred, hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, nation, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other designated sector of society.

On an episode of Justice, which airs on Fox News, Judge Jeanine Pirro stated “We need to kill them. We need to kill them, the radical Muslim terrorists hell-bent on killing us … and as this Islamic cancer metastasizes throughout the world … it is headed our way.”

While promoting his book “Pinheads and Patriots” on The View, O’Reilly stated that the reason there should not be a mosque at ground zero was because “Muslims killed us on 9/11.” This remark made co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walk off the set.

Why is a movement that is trying to point out injustices in our country labeled a hate group, while a television network that promotes “killing them all” is not? Why does the Black Lives Matter movement get more rant time than the Ku Klux Klan, who have been committing hate crimes since 1865? Why does Mr. O’Reilly not insist on taking the klan out?

Why did the FBI urge Martin Luther King Jr. to kill himself? In a letter titled, “You Are Done” King was told, “…you are a colossal fraud and an evil, vicious one at that. You could not believe in God and act as you do.” The letter ends with “King, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do (this exact number has been selected for a specific reason, it has definite practical significance). You are done. There is but one way out for you.”

Why did Shaun King have to explain his entire life story, after the Breitbart News Network attacked his character online? Breitbart questioned Shaun King’s race, affiliation with the Black Lives Matter movement, and his motives for being involved. Days after the attack was published, Joshua Ryne Goldberg, the man who gave Breitbart the intel on Shaun (which happened to be false) was arrested for plotting a terrorist attack, planned for a memorial in Kansas City commemorating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

It seems as if the movement is under fire from people who should check themselves. People who live in a glass house should not throw stones. People who spew hate shouldn’t accuse a group of being hateful without evidence.
