(47,209 posts)And they all suck? What the hell- that's the takeaway here from reading from "Black Lives Matter".
it's pretty hostile and self involved. As if people are pissed they should read it at all- are we wasting your time? It is offensive to tell black people how they feel, but just fine to pick nits on how they communicate and jump in to rewrite the message? Please desist. To derail - and be hostile about it- because the message wasn't honed finely enough not to step on every white toe out there is complete bullshit.
The message will be difficult for many no matter how it is phrased, but to see "pushback" here of all places, where people should be smarter about shit is disappointing. The message was fine as it was, whoever had a problem with it should look within for why it makes them uncomfortable.
