The BLM movement today has been coopted by Whites. White people have taken the BLM "brand" and are using moral capital to push their own ideology. There are a lot of young White people who want to fight for a cause, to push a new ideology, and this was a good one to use. I saw an interesting quote from a Black cop who said there were more Blacks in the police force at the protest, than among the protestors themselves. Leftist radicals do that, they jump on board a movement and turn it into their own. If you see something "pro-Palestine" in Melbourne, its actually Socialists, mostly young White people, with a few Palestinians who haven't cottoned onto the fact the cause is not longer theirs. ....
