I'm not a fan of BLM, but I am pretty sure you're mischaracterizing their efforts.
From what I've read they seem focused on targeting institutional racism - and police reform is just one component of that. Their approach is far broader and I am pretty sure they've made linkages with the "environmental justice" movement which is very much focused on problems like the effects of lead contamination.
- mnglkhn2 9y agocan you point to an example of "institutional racism?" So, that, at least we have a clear starting point of something that needs addressing. Speaking in general does not help anybody. I, for one, would not know where to look if you simply state "institutional racism", without giving me an example of what it actually means.
- anigbrowl 9y agoCome on now, I bet your ability to use search engines and public knowledge bases is actually great. It's a broad topic of frequent debate, and other posters aren't obligated to bring you up to speed on it. You can at least familiarize yourself with the popular concepts and then figure out your perspective in relation to those. It's rude to demand that people drop what they're discussing in order to give you foundational knowledge you can so easily pick you for yourself.
