We know the statistics – that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it. |

I'd like to this wikipedia article to address why an organization that claims to care about black lives wants to get rid of the nuclear family, when the evidence from the New York Times show how harmful that has already been to black people. |

Why is there no mention of the riots, anarchy and violence conducted by BLM protestors?
For the most obvious reasons I think the majority of people can agree that BLM is a movement however no one can deny that violence, arson, property damage, and anarchy were a recurring aspect in 2020 after the death of George Floyd. I don't understand why this isn't mentioned in the article, are the editors of Wikipedia in complete denial of criminal acts committed by BLM activists? Or do the editors have a biased leftist agenda when it comes to certain controversial topics like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paok117 (talk • contribs) 15:27, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

- If you have information that is supported by reliable sources, add it. That's how Wikipedia works. Or at the very least, please include links to the sources that you think are missing here. That way, other editors can review to determine whether they should be added, and add them if they have the time. As a reminder, this is a space to talk about issues with the article. It's not a space to talk about editors or launch accusations. Please stop. Dax Kirk (talk) 16:13, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Paok117: According to this study by ACLED, 93% of BLM protests were peaceful. Another study by Harvard Radcliffe Institute said "Black Lives Matter Protesters Were Overwhelmingly Peaceful". ––FormalDude talk 19:46, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I wouldn’t really call them “peaceful protesters” tbh they nearly burnt Minneapolis to the ground had it not been for the US national guard being deployed to stop the rioters the city would have been destroyed. They also caused $2 billion dollars worth of property damage in June 2020 alone. What is the definition of a “reliable source” btw it sounds pretty biased and censors media publications and tabloids that aren’t aligned with the political left. I’m not going to provide a reference for a news article about this because it will be discredited and censored. Paok117 (talk) 06:31, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- "What is the definition of a “reliable source” btw" How long have you been editing Wikipedia? See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for the content guideline. For a list of specific sources which have already been discussed, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Dimadick (talk) 11:11, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Dimadick: already tried explaining this. Take a look at their talk page. They aren't going to accept Wikipedia's views on sources. Doug Weller talk 15:20, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
More than 500 shops and restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul have reported damage when protests on five nights turned violent over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Dozens of properties burned to the ground.
Owners and insurance experts estimate the costs of the damage could exceed $500 million.

Minneapolis vandalism targets include 198-unit affordable housing development
The apartments were expected to hit the market later this year.
June 27, 2020
The under-construction affordable housing development that burned in the widespread violence in south Minneapolis late Wednesday and early Thursday was to be a six-story rental building with 198 apartments for low-income renters, including more than three dozen for very low-income tenants.
Construction began last fall on Midtown Corner, which was expected to be completed and ready for occupancy this year. Late Wednesday the wood-framed upper floors of the building were fully engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of smoke that figured prominently in widely viewed photos of the riots. By Thursday morning, what had been an active construction site was reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes atop what was left of the concrete first-floor commercial space.

At least 11 killed during U.S. protests seeking justice for George Floyd, many of them African Americans

- Baxter329, spamming this talk page with news stories is not going to accomplish anything. It looks like you want George Floyd protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, where all of this is detailed. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
