It’s my first time seeing this and wouldn’t mind for it to be reposted again and again. It needs to be heard weather you like it or not. And I know you don’t like it
it doesn't matter what anyone intended it to mean. IT doesn't matter if the people starting the movement or even if the majority of the people in the movement have good intentions.
There are a not small amount of people who genuinely take black lives matter, people acting under said banner, to mean only black lives matter. People in positions of power treating it like only black lives matter. Prosecuting white people for having guns when a mob of people break down their gate and walked in their gated neighborhood screaming threats.
recently there's been a group of BLM activists extorting business owners in louisville demanding that businesses agree to have at minimum 23% black staff as well as them forcing them to agree to a minimum of 1.5% profits being given to black charities and a manditory bi-annual diversity and inclusion training. They are threatening to disrupt their business and get competing black businesses to put up tables and sell stuff outside of their shop on the street
that is legitimate extortion. And its targeting anyone who isnt black. One of the only people to stand up to them is a Cuban immigrant.

this kinda tactic is a motte and bailey. A motte and bailey is where you build a position that is easily defended and move to a position that is hard to defend. When you start losing the position that is hard to defend you retreat to the easy to defend position and claim that the two are the same so that defending one is equivalent to defending both.
-
People can do whatever they please no matter how abhorrent or morally corrupt the act is (bailey) and when questioned or opposed they retreat to a more defensible position and claim the person questioning or opposing is racist and hates black people or is a supremacist because they are speaking against someone hiding behind black lives matter (motte).
