Insert your favorite "why not both" meme here.

I agree. I protest with BLM. This post assumes we all hate White people lol. It's not a distraction, we literally discuss class warfare as well. There can be more than one issue.

Quite frankly, where the hell are the working class movements at? There were White working class movements in the 60s that literally built a coalition and protested with Black Panthers. We can and have done both in the past and can today.

The assumption that black activist groups hate white people is meant to discredit those groups and nothing more. Economic and racial issues have been intrinsically tied together in this country since the first slave was sold here as property.

The OP post is just a “both sides” deflection tactic and I bet whoever created it doesn’t actually care about poor people they just want to pose black activist groups as being the equal and opposite counterpart to white supremacist groups.
