1. Pelosi's words are being dismissed as a gaffe, a sign of verbally ineptness or lack of thought. But there's something more interesting and important at work about not understanding what Black Lives Matter means.https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1384624338683502592 …

she and many others want yesterday to be seen as a turning point, proof that things are changed and will be better going forward. these people are wrong and deserve ridicule and scorn for trying to pretend otherwise.

Really recommend
@erinrpineda's new book in this regard - she talks a lot about how the story of the Civil Rights Movement has taken a lot of the agency away from the participants and turned them into symbols more than anything else. -

Periodic reminder that DNC leadership's first instinct when they were unhappy with Senate and House-level election results was to blame BLM protesters.

Pelosi’s comment infers that Floyd’s death was an heroic exercise in self-sacrifice in furtherance of the black cause, when it was nothing of the kind. It was a completely preventable waste of a black man’s life at the hands of a violent brute.

Progressives don't care he was murdered. His murder gave them a horrible catch phrase, Defund the Police, that they STILL to this day keep explaining. 18K LE Agencies in this country & most do their job w/o malice intent. Progressives don't acknowledge this.

Pelosi misses the fundamental lack of agency in Floyd's murder that highlights the problem with police brutality. He didn't choose to die for a cause, Chauvin did that for him, he stole his future. That's why the fight is to stop the violence, justice it's a consolation prize.
