What prevents you from feeling like a part of the coalition you referenced? The focus on black people?

I think, to be fair to BLM, I don't have an idea to what extent everyone in the movement believes all of this stuff. It maybe that many participants would happily jump on a broader movement if one was available, or are genuinely unaware of the extent of the problem elsewhere.

A lot of this seems to be a media problem where black deaths at the hands of the police are treated as more noteworthy. Again, BLM isn't directly responsible for that but is happy to reap the rewards.

While that’s true, I don’t see it as a problem. I don’t think it takes away from anyone else. Can’t blame a community for advocating for itself, personally

if it wasn’t white people enabling the worst behavior, then the black people might be able to build bridges (like Daryl Davis), but white people only amplify outrage, so they can be seen to be Conspicuously Anti-Racist
