  No, I mean the cause and it’s rationale. The “disparity thus discrimination” logic with no mind for other factors. The absolute refusal of anyone to look at any of the equally heinous murders of white Americans by police. I don’t want to delegitimize BLM; I don’t know for fact that the BLM folks are wrong and I remain open minded, but I’m disgusted by so much of how it played out—the dodgy rhetoric, the agitators, the divisiveness, the racial dogma, the violence, and much more. There are some good things that have come out of it—90% of Americans favor police reforms; it raised awareness for that, although we’ll see if it manifests in (substantial, non-symbolic) policy. Anyway, I hope the bad is all in the past and we can move forward.
