I support it in the states because of the historic racial biases that we still see to this day running strong in many areas. It may not be necessary for some places, but that doesn't mean that it's abhorrent.

And yeah, I think it's possible to hold some conservative ideas if you consider yourself to be liberal overall. But I don't think being against the specific group (Black Lives Matter) is a conservative belief. It's based on the actions of those within that group.
Black Lives Matter is a pretty massive movement to paint based off of a couple of sexy news stories featuring some of the supporters. If you think that the group is legitimately racist, then you are blatantly looking past what the group actually stands for.
