What a silly claim. blacklivesmatter.com published lots of police conspiracy material. If that's not the horse's mouth, I don't know what is.

  Yes, but it's not like they haven't published opinions on anything else. And again, it's not a corporation with a command hierarchy and unified messaging, it's a network of activists. Oftentimes I hear people saying 'why don't black people/the black community do XYZ' like they were their own country with their own legislature and executive.

    We make lots of generalizations about all sorts of decentralized groups: conservatives, liberals, whites, the wealthy, the poor, etc and we manager to understand that we're generalizing--that we're talking about a statistical distribution of opinions or behaviors, but for some reason with BLM, the moment they are generalized, the "they are not a corporation" argument comes up, and I would argue this generalization about BLM holds a lot better than the average generalization about nearly any other group.

      And I would find your generalizations unpersuasive, so it seems we're not going to agree about this.

        That's fine, generalizations aren't really meant to be persuasive so much as descriptive anyway.
