There's a bunch of different autonomous groups, with no one "founder." This has always been the single talking point that the fox news crowd loves to parrot to sound like a "gotcha" when they want to be racist but are too cowardly to show who they really are. If that's not obvious by now, then idk what to tell you, except that arguing against human rights and for police brutality is not going to endear you to people.
