I remember during Ferguson and Baltimore where BLM was decried as being thugs and during Kaepernick where it was portrayed as being about hating America. I'm glad (well, not glad exactly) that this time around it's getting through people's heads why BLM is a movement in the first place.

The movement in the past wasn't very convincing to me. It felt like a demand for an advantage instead of equal rights.

It's definitely nice to see more white people jumping on board. Power structures depend on the majority demonizing the minorities to maintain their power, so the less of that we have the better

It's getting all this money donated to it yet is not a charitable organization. I want to see changes but in the communities affected. Highly doubtful.

I think a lot of people have grown up now seeing BLM as a necessity. So much of this is being youth led, kids who were watching during Ferguson but too young to do anything. Theyre making the demands now, and theyre convincing.
That's a great point. Those two were half a decade ago; if you were 15 watching in horror what was going on you'd be of protesting age right now

Trayvon Martin and Ferguson were definitely a turning point for a lot of people.

Dont let anyone distract you by getting into an unwinnable argument about one specific incident when weve seen so many

I'm not the one who brought up Ferguson

Wouldn't "last time" in this regard be the Ahmaud Arbery incident?

Except like 75% of this board is STILL in denial about what BLM stands for. Idk if they are trolling or if they still truly think that way but man.

I have very little faith in gamers to think critically about any real life issues

Just because gamers are braindead doesn't mean they shouldn't be exposed to other views.
