For as good as the BLM movement has been, everything I’ve seen of the BLM organization paints it as incredibly corrupt. It seems like it was almost immediately hijacked by some of the worst people.
BLM started as and still should be a decentralized movement. Most of the people I’ve seen trying to label themselves “leaders” in the movement have either been useless liberals or outright narcissists/greedy people trying to get into the spotlight. The usual “positions of power attract the worst people” kind of deal.

I just made a similar post. It’s great to see people agree.
Keep it simple. The concept of Black Lives Matter is important. It’s easy to understand, easy to agree with, and it should be uncontroversial.
As with any good ideas, there will opportunists trying to make a buck, and even plants like this guy working to give BLM a bad name.
