Im in GA and i rarely see their logo stuff or anything of the sort. Last year at this time theyd be on random corners and youd see tons of shirts with the BLM fist on them.

You recall a particular event that may have motivated a lot of people last year?

Most of the money came from corporations as an investment in their product to make more money for themselves in the long run.

BLM continues to hold rallies and events

white people aren't paying attention as much so news media that is profit-focused doesn't cover it as much, so racists assume BLM isn't doing anything

It's pretty damn dismissive to try to claim BLM is "hyped up around presidential election years" instead of the fact that they get more attention after highly publicized killings of black people.

It wouldn't have mattered what year George Floyd was murdered.

It literally had a popularity spike when Obama was President. The media just hypes up BLM during election years. All the media has to do is fine some police abuse of black people (which is sadly really easy to do, because police abuse black people all the time) and keep talking about it in the news. Police abuse doesn't stop in non-election years, but the media talks way less about it then.

well, it is true that white allies care more during presidential election years

because BLM is still highly active but this didn't get much national attention

"What happened to BLM?", brought to by "Why don't blacks care about black-on-black crime?"

You know, because things only exist when they are the biggest headline in the country. It's like how music doesn't exist if it isn't on pop radio.

I've seen people calling the George Floyd murder a conspiracy, like when Pelosi stupidly thanked him for his sacrifice.

I think you need to actually look up what happened in the aftermath of that case. The cop involved was charged and appeared in court not long after.

Sunday 4/11/2021 - The incident happened
Tuesday 4/13/2021 - The cop who shot him resigned
Wednesday 4/14/2021 - The cop who shot him was arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter.

The Daunte Wright case DID get national attention. There wasn't as much delay in the process as there was with the George Floyd case. Also, the Daunte Wright case, as oblivious as one would have to be to make this particular mistake, could legitimately be seen as an accidental killing.

George Floyd, by comparison:

Monday 5/25/2020: The incident happened
Tuesday 5/26/2020: Video comes out, all 4 officers were fired
  • Police report says nothing about the murder, tries to claim George Floyd died of a medical incident. Police report says nothing about Derek Chauvin having his knees on George Floyd's neck and back.
  • Video unequivocally shows the cops in this case are lying
Wednesday 5/27/2020: ...
Thusrday 5/28/2020: ...
Friday 5/29/2020: Derek Chauvin finally arrested, was allowed to just be at home all this time.
Saturday 5/30/2020: ...
Sunday 5/31/2020: ...
Monday 6/01/2020: ...
Tuesday 6/02/2020: ...
Wednesday 06/03/2020: Other 3 officers finally arrested

If the Daunte Wright case had featured a video of police blocking anyone from trying to help him while he was dying, or the officers involved staring at the people begging them to help him and just ignoring them, it probably would have been a different case. Especially if they waited as long as Minnesota did to arrest the officers involved.
