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.
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?
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.
There are also other disappointing ones like refusing to see the Barbie movie and that so many think saying “black lives matter” is a red flag.
The alternative to the latter is that you don’t think black lives matter, which is the real red flag.
As a white non American man, what’s wrong with BLM?

You can disagree with the organization while agreeing with the idea
Shouldn’t all lives matter?
Why exclude a certain group, that’s racist by itself.
And how is refusing to see a movie a red flag, I simply don’t care about movie, I rarely even watch movies in general.

Me when I purposely try to ignore global power structures put into place by numerous historical events.
That somehow renders all other lives worthless? What are you even trying to say with this reply?
What power structures are preventing black people or other to do anything nowdays?
No one is saying other lives are worthless. You’re attacking a made-up position.

That’s the point. To many, they didn’t matter and still don’t. Which is abhorrent.
this is known as a strawman. nice try
Didn’t know what it even meant up until this point, just searched it’s meaning up.
But no, I was asking actual questions.
There is absolutely nothing ‘good faith’ about what you’re doing here. You aren’t fooling anyone.
Not trying to fool anyone in the first place. You don’t want to answer those questions?

Now go away.
idk what to tell you. it’s not in any way indicating a message of superiority.
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.

no but you is putting them on a pedestal though. the claim is they shouldn’t be treated worse
If I say “I like ice cream” you wouldn’t assume that ice cream is the only food I like.
