41. True, and I don't think BLM acts as a monolithic entity.

That doesn't mean there aren't people within BLM working their own agendas, which may run counter to BLM's goals.

I think today's protesters were hoping to get some damaging video and stir up bad feeling between white progressives and BLM. That doesn't further BLM's agenda in the slightest.
