NY mayor Eric Adams on the terrorist attack on the NY subway. Do you agree that BLM should be protesting when any innocent black people are killed?
No of course not
to do so one would have to have no idea what BLM is to think they "should"
its very poor messaging based on ignorance of a topic
it would be like saying I think breast cancer awareness groups or Autisums groups or the boy scouts of america should be protesting when innocent black people are killed., Its moronic and makes no sense.
The BLM movement is about the making aware of and the lessoning of systemic and systematic racism and police brutality. Its about solidarity of those issues and we saw that solidarity spread globally more so than any issue of movement in my life time it was amazing. BLM already has an outline of what the movement is and thats it. Others dont get to come along and make stuff up.
Just like pro-llife and pro-chioce are about ABORTION and not eating animals or being against the death penalty or choice of schools. THose types of non-analogous strawman tactics are nonsensical and make no sense.
Now with that said it would be nice if all of us and any group protested when innocent life is taken but that certainly doesnt me they "have" ot or "should"
seems to me this is just a mayor that wants people to focus on a variety of things that he thinks are an issue but it also factually proves he has no clue what BLM is. So like a shit ton of people and politicians who are undeducted on a specific topic he'll have to improve his message.
