This Was a sharp increase from a similar survey in the year 2014, after the death of Michael Brown and Eric Garner - where 43 percent of Americans feel that these incidents are the General problems reflected, ABC reported.

During The Black Lives Matter movement "has always been multi-racial. white people in the USA have not really Said a vocabulary to talk about race", Mr Roberts.

"It is uncomfortable, and you think that a conversation about Racism is an attack on their existence, or have the feeling that you have no license to offend if you are someone. "

The night's watch, the organizers Said , "support for The Police , and Black Lives matter are exclusive", while a local board of Trustees, the Republicans, Candy Meehan, Said : "I do not think that this is a political matter... it is Wrong Wrong . "

Black-and-activists welcomed the extended support.
