Oh this will be a productive thread, everyone posting comments about hypocrisy ‘they’ did.
Let’s just agree people can be shit. All people. Of every type.

The fact you think BLM is protesting slavery means you have no idea what BLM is about.
And Wade is a piece of shit.

I may get flamed for this, but I think there is some separation from the BLM movement and its ideals from some of the original founders and/or its most outspoken advocates for this exact reason - some of them just are not honorable people.

Part of the problem is that there's a slogan and an organization which are completely separate. The slogan itself is fine. Portions of the organization is questionable. But, Black lives do matter and the higher rate at which Black people are arrested compared to White people is both factual and atrocious.
An appropriate analogy--though further along in than BLM--is that of the swastika. That was not an original symbol of white pride and genocide. But, it surely is now.
