I don't have a horse in this debate directly, but do indirectly. Those who one could call 'black' whom I've heard from do not identify with this group or movement at all, and some feel they need to make that point in conversation which has nothing to do wthat this issue... As in raise it themselves.

The sense I get is this is not about black lives mattering as much as it is about a particular group of people whom identify as a particular subset of blacks trying to turn this into something it is not.
