They had a bunch of protests during 2020, and a couple of those protests got out of control (Kyle Rittenhouse famously murdered several protesters at one). The conservative news space spent the next 6 months painting them as a Marxist terrorist group and a lot of people bought in to that framing.
I think there were some clashes during the protests and also the movement got kinda perverted into some pseudo racist exclusivity and also had a lot of white people with white saviour complexes. There are also the folks who think that it should say All Lives Matter but they are kinda missing the point.
"Black lives matter" is not meant as "only black lives matter", but rather as "black lives matter too". It started in response to black people being disproportionately killed by cops.
My point is, that by putting black people on a pedestal, you are again making race diversion, which just makes it even harder for everyone to be seen as equals.
Goal should be to stop cop violence altogether, because it's bad on it's own.
I'm not attacking anyone. By saying "Black Lives Matter" you are excluding black people from other races, as if they didn't matter up until this point?
