This ignores the fact that BLM affiliated groups are far more than race focused, and wrap in huge chunks of neo Marxist and post modernist ideology, such as calling for dissolution of nuclear families as the core social unit.

BLM and their cohorts were never elected to be representatives of black Americans. The default assumption of upper middle class whites who grew up in segregated suburbs is that they must be representative and most black Americans share their very radical views. I can assure you they do not and opinion polls show this.

I spent a few years in foster care and the best family I was in was a black family in Virginia where the head of household was a police officer and his wife was a public defender in a neighboring county. They and most of their church congregation absolutely despise black lives matter the organization, not the message obviously.

The organization gave itself that name to deliberately overload a moral message with their off-putting, alien, and radical ideology.

Your comment is proof that this strategy worked because if I disagree with any single element of the organization and therefore don't donate, according to your comment I am no longer morally correct and must not think that black lives matter. It's a simplistic and moralistic take evidence by your absolute moral certainty.
