And I'm sure there's many people that haven't encountered a single BLM protest - that doesn't mean BLM isn't a trend. Does it have to be on every street and in every town to count? I didn't think it necessary at first since even the most casual browsing of the news would lead one to encounter that message, but I'll include a few examples.
Also note how it's specifically white silence that's singled out - other races are not called out. Their silence apparently contributes less, or not at all, to violence.
