When the framers were writing the new Constitution, they had to hold their nose and compromise on slavery, accepting the fact that the institution would have to end eventually, but realizing the more immediate goal of expelling the British was more important.
It's the same here. I don't agree with BLM on most of their platform, but I agree wholeheartedly that mandates are wrong, and will be exploited by racists to exclude Americans from public life based on the color of their skin.
So I'll hold my nose and accept that the arguments about policing will have to be discussed at another time, potentially using the opportunity to discuss reasonable compromises.
Hell, just an example, if poor urban families had access to firearms so they could defend themselves from criminals, they wouldn't need as many cops...
BLM might have something to say about not allowing people to vote unless vaxed.
We live in interesting times!
might be time to extend an olive branch to the more sane elements within BLM (a few exist)
We'll start by calling it ALL LIVES MATTER.
If people can't even admit that much, then the conversation is over.
Think back to the constitutional convention.

I would just call it MATTER.
Already happened perhaps. MAGA and BLM both protested mandatory vaxes in the same place. Can't remember the occasion
Well then there's hope. Let's nurture that seedling.
Sure.
IMO the principle that "Black Lives Matter" is a conservative one and connects to freedom.
To the left and the cabal, only power matters and the end justifies the means. They want only compliance. BLM is just a tool to them.
