The ACLU says everyone gets to talk. This is, ideally, true. But the BLM folks are saying that in reality, they don't get to talk, and also they get murdered for no reason on a regular basis. So they're going to prevent anyone from talking until everyone actually gets to talk like they're supposed to. And yeah, "two wrongs don't make a right," and all that--like I said, it's a gross, ugly way of getting your point across. But historically, it is also the only way that has ever actually worked.
