Given that some of my fellow white people will distrust anything that challenges their world view, the answer is yes.

However, given how minorities have been treated in this nation by whites, even today...it doesn't take much thought to understand why minorities will distrust whites.

Orientals and Jews were treated badly by whites. Now they tend to be better educated and more prosperous than whites. Orientals earn their title "the model minority."

What is Marxist about blacks wanting the police not to kill them for jaywalking? You have marxism on the brain. It's high time we have more control over how the police treat people.

I have never read about policemen killing blacks for jay walking. When a policeman kills a black man the black man committed a crime, and resisted arrest.

There's the Elijah mcClain case. That looks totally against the cops

The goal of BLM is returning to racial segregation. That is why some many super rich white racists support BLM. The more hate generated between blacks and whites, the better in the question to return to racial segregation.

Exceptions do not disprove rules. Once two policemen beat me up. I am white. They were white. I had not been doing anything illegal, immoral, or impolite. I think they thought I was someone else. They left quickly after looking at my ID.
 
If black lives matter, why do so many black men kill other black men? Why do so few black men marry the mothers of their children and raise those children properly?

So you don't do much reading then.

Eric Garner died after he was wrestled to the ground by a New York police officer on suspicion of illegally selling cigarettes.

Michael Brown, 18, was killed by a police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri, who was responding to reports that Brown - who was not armed - had stolen a box of cigars

Tamir Rice, a boy of 12, was shot dead in Cleveland, Ohio by a police officer after reports of a male who was "probably a juvenile" pointing a gun that was "probably fake" at passers by.

Walter Scott was shot in the back five times by a white police officer, who was later fired and eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Mr Scott had been pulled over for having a defective light on his car in North Charleston, South Carolina, and ran away from the police officer after a brief scuffle.

A hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.

A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.

A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.

A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.

While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.

From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 5 a.m. Monday, June 1, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Interesting considering the topic is about mistrust of blacks by whites and the reasons.

Why do you think it is being ignored and what does it have to do with police brutality?

When an opponent of Black Lives Matters talks about “blacks killing blacks” it’s almost always to deflect attention away from police brutality. As if one issue makes the other more acceptable.

When someone commits an act of terrorism against in the United States, which rightfully leads to anger and sadness, no one asks, “Well what about how many Americans kill other Americans each year?” Because that would crazy, now wouldn’t it?

But, by all means, let’s talk about “black on black crime.” You’ve probably heard a statistic like this before – The majority of black people murdered are killed by other black people. That’s true, but also misleading. The overwhelming majority of white murder victims each year are killed by white assailants. So, when’s the last time you heard the term “white on white crime?”

I like most Black people...don't socialize w them, though

That's because I don't socialize w anyone... Ok, rarely

I began to distrust them generally some years ago before BLM came along...A lot of them don't seem to want to socialize w Whites...seems they tend to think all or most whites are against them somehow...just my experiences for whatever it's worth

BLM is giving me a more negative attitude...but not against all blacks

Just anyone who claims to be a member of that group

Anyone who thinks BLM is anything other than an organization attempting to effect positive change were already racists to begin with. I've seen the racists posting all over this forum.

BLM is a campaign organ of the DNC. To you that mans "positive changes" to me that means it is the enemy because I despise Biden and don't want that idiot in office.

The elimination of systematic racism, resulting in police officers murdering black people will be a positive change.

I'm sorry you burn with such hatred over such an honorable public servant. I guess you've been stricken with a burning case of BDS.
 
OP asks why some whites would mistrust some blacks???

Didn't start with BLM

I am sorry that you are unable to accurately discuss what I have said. Biden is a senile POS. He supported segregated schools and pushed a crime bill that led to massive incarceration of young black men.
