Ugh. Clodfobble was referring to the intended recipients of the goal of BLM, i.e. the people being mistreated which necessitate the creation of BLM. Why it exists. I thought that was clear in the series of every post she's made in this thread. I get that your point was this other thing, but thread drift exists and sometimes people aren't talking about the OP.

The very fact that you think you get to decide whether to give them a voice is precisely why they are now taking it by force. They are not outsiders seeking your benevolence. They are Americans whose ancestors have quite possibly been here longer than yours.
My reading is that she is NOT talking about the white college kids you're mad at.

My reading is that your response was obtuse. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
