Or are they afraid they're going to be labeled as a racist if they dare disagree with the ideas of people who happen to have black skin?

The Black Lives Matter movement is decentralized. There are are a number of groups which purport to speak for it. No doubt some of those groups have platforms which include ideas or proposals that I disagree with or find downright silly. I have no fear of being labeled as a racist for disagreeing with those ideas (I've posted about some of those disagreements on another forum where I'm a member).
My disagreements with some of those ideas and proposals does not discourage me from acknowledging that system racism and systemic discrimination exists in our society or from expressing my broad support of people and groups trying to address such.
This isn't rocket science.
