That's an abstract argument when we could use concrete ones, like most GOP voters having factually inaccurate ideas about race issues.

That is demonstrated ignorance. It exists & it's not unreasonable to call it out as such, even if the method of doing so is combative.

Backlash is abt stuff like "microaggressions", mobs getting people fired for out-of-context remarks, unfalsifiable subjective claims

I share your concerns about these issues, I really do. But that argument is dwarfed by the more reactionary and oppressive contingent.

I don't think so. Despite BLM targeting allies like Bernie, the end result seems to be an elevation of these topics in the mainstream.

While there's internal conflict in the SJ movement, its most pressing issues are becoming widely addressed, w/ real political progress.

The amount of credit for that progress that can be attributed to the SJ movement is highly debatable.

Perhaps. But would police violence be as big a topic without #BlackLivesMatter protesting for a year straight? I really don't think so.
