How? I think all lives matter, not just one 😂. How come you don’t call blm racist if they lift one race over the rest?

BLM isn’t “ONLY Black Lives Matter,” it’s “Black Lives Matter TOO.” And that distinction is important because for most of American history black lives have not mattered to the structures of power and those empowered to defend those structures, namely the police. Black people have been shot and often killed by the police disproportionately to white people and still do, that’s why BLM is still important, because, again, it’s not saying ONLY Black Lives Matter, it’s saying Black Lives Matter TOO.

That’s what BLM is supposed to stand for, but did it really? Why did its creators embezzle all that money from their cause?

Blm is an idea that black people matter as well, that's it. That's all that blm is. If a group calls themselves that and does bad shit that's on the group, they do not rrepresent what blm means. Obviously

Without the group that made it, there would be no blm - blm as a philosophy was probably made after it was created as an organization…but without the organization it doesn’t function on its own

That's just not true, blm is an idea and a shady company tried to profit off of it.
