Anyway, I won't be as eloquent as most of the conversation within this thread but BLM accepted an invitation, then took advantage of the media coverage which comes with a Pride Parade and distracted from the intent and good will of this event. Regardless of their good cause, it came across as rather tasteless.
This is a poor example to support a ridiculous statement by taco.

Wake me when you aren't comparing to the overall make up of races and you index it vs who tends to interact in a conflicting manner with police in general. You may find that poor people tend to be black, and poor people conflict with cops more often.

A bit of a buzzkill to BLM and lots of others who derive heir self worth by fighting for their race, but the us has a social mobility problem that is masked by what most people think of as a race problem.
