According to an August poll, a surge in support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in the last two months means that a majority of young white adults now backs BLM's radical agenda.

As reported in the Daily Wire, a GenForward survey of 1,958 adult swas conducted by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. It shows that white support for BLM has risen substantially since the last survey in June, when 41% of whites in the 18-30 age group supported BLM. That figure is now 51%.

Most young whites, however -- 66% -- believe that the group’s rhetoric incites violence against police, while only 19% of young blacks agree. 43% of Asian-Americans and 42% of Hispanics believe that the rhetoric incites violence. Additionally, young whites feel that the problem of violence against police is more serious that violence from police toward blacks.

As Yahoo News states,

Black, Hispanic and Asian youth already had expressed strong majority support for the Black Lives Matter movement in the June poll. Eighty-five percent of African-American young adults now say they support the protesters. Sixty-seven percent of Asian and 62 percent of Hispanic young adults agreed with that sentiment.

Asked specifically about recent killings of black people by the police, 72 percent of African-American young people, 61 percent of Asian-Americans, 51 percent of Latinos and 40 percent of whites said they consider those killings part of a larger pattern, rather than isolated.

But young blacks are much more likely than young whites to call killings of black people by the police a very or extremely serious problem, 91 percent to 43 percent. Sixty-three percent of young whites think that violence against police is a serious problem, similar to the 60 percent of young African-Americans who say so.

Young whites also are more likely to say they trust Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump more than Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton to handle attacks against the police, 45 percent to 28 percent, though they prefer Clinton for handling police violence against African-Americans, 44 percent to 20 percent.

The more recent poll was taken after protests followed the police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and after police were massacred in Dallas and Baton Rouge.
