This is because the BLM movement has put us in a tough position. I lead an organization of about 60+ black professionals in an academic environment. When all the police brutality stuff happened, we were mad, and immediately responded. This meant protests and taking pictures in solidarity. Now looking back I realize that it didn't really do much.
This thread has me rethinking this whole BLM thing. But my reality is that if I were to go in front of my constituency and hail the merits of this thread, I'd get shouted down and they'd probably replace me as a leader. And I'm small time. I imagine more prominent leaders are in a similar position. Further compounding the problem is that we HAVE to defend BLM every time some cac racist shyts on it.
It's amazing because BLM was supposed to unite us but now it's became divisive.
