It's been pointed out dozens of times on here alone that black on black murder isn't the main issue for BLM -which is another stick to beat them with... But when shown the figures about white on white murders, they seem to completely ignore them. As we've just seen.

Can't BLM just focus on one issue? The more complicated the issue becomes, the blurrier the message gets and a lot will get lost in their fight.

It's crazy how many different arguments people have against BLM. Imagine slagging off the annual Race For Life (cancer charity fundraiser) because it doesn't raise money for Alzheimers or children in poverty.

Can't we just allow BLM to have a single, poignant message (ending racism and violence against the black community) without needing them to focus on solving the rest of the f**ked up shit that goes on in the world too?
It’s an interesting point that you make.
I have posted on here numerous times my support for Black Lives.

I’ve also stated for want of a better word my “confusion” I guess on how to untangle the undoubted systematic racism in America (which no matter how much people try to equate the two) is on a level that is incomparable with the UK.

How we all get there is much of the debate I guess.

I fervently hope that there is another runner in the race to take this challenge on as in my opinion BLM is an Anarcho-Communist movement first and foremost with Intersectionality ruling the roost.

I think that Black lives are actually secondary to their cause and a weapon to get there.
