It would seem that 55% of people in the UK believe that BLM has increased tension.
Interestingly... Conversations that I have had with people, in general, believe that there needs to be change because of their racial experiences. The stories and protests shared those experiences.
Opinium’s annual survey of multicultural Britain found that 71% of Asian people had suffered discrimination or abuse because of their ethnicity rising to 81% among black people.
“A particularly worrying find is that the majority of BAME people have faced discrimination because of their race and ethnicity,” said Mete Coban, the director of My Life My Say, a youth-led charity aimed at increasing engagement with democracy. “Another saddening finding is that 46% of BAME people have faced discrimination on multiple occasions, which is an increase from last year.”
Asked about the survey, Adam Elliott-Cooper, a spokesman for BLM, said racial tensions in Britain long preceded the movement and that it had highlighted the issue.
“To say that to challenge racism increases racial tension is a very misleading assumption,” he said. “Black Lives Matter hasn’t increased racial tension in the same way as the civil rights movement in the US didn’t or the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa didn’t. They haven’t increased racial tension but they might have made it more apparent and exposed what is there.”
