The Main Thesis Of Black Lives Matter Is Not That Black Lives Matter

I'm really getting sick of the bullshit efforts to pretend that "black lives matter" is their main--or one of their main--theses. Equivocating on 'black lives matter'--using it sometimes as the name of the organization and other times as a (pseudo-)thesis allows them to set up a dialectical situation in which anyone who opposes them can be made to seem like a person who does not believe that black lives matter. 

   BLM's main theses are, roughly:

(a) The police are deeply and broadly racist

(b) The police more-or-less indiscriminately murder blacks

(c) The police kill blacks disproportionately

(b) and (c) are both false. This forms part of our basis for believing (a) to be false as well. 

    And noting that two of these theses have been proven false and the third one is probably false does not in any way mean that one is racist, nor that one doesn't think that black lives matter. Any more than disagreeing with People For The American Way means that one is not for the American way. Or disagreeing with The American Center For Law And Justice Means that you're against America, law, or justice.
