So lots of threads are about BLM now. It looks like a pretty radical new movement, strongly fueled by social media and a reaction to percieved racism against black people. I was raised on the US and I visit regularely so I understand the American social dynamics regarding race.
Please answer the following questions for me, trying to stay objective and not inflammatory.
1) Is it really as diffuse as its "internet presence"? Apart from the internet do you encounter BLM regularely? Do black coworkers and friends feel strongly about it?
2)What exactly do they demand? I understand the typical buzzwords, " equality", "tolerance" etc, but technically what is it that they want changed?
