My (first hand) experience of BLM is that they are disruptors, much like Extinction Rebellion, with an ostensibly Good Cause which has become somewhat subverted.
My experience is solely in in a private Facebook group where supporters came along, initially with good relevant arguments and a fresh view, but in the end it turned into a melee of unprompted and unnecessarily offensive insults and attacks on people who hadn't even expressed an opinion.
So maybe that is not a very representative experience but it's the only one I have, first hand.
Putting aside any political agenda which the BLM organisation may have, there is certainly a point to be made but I do think the world is not unaware of that and sometimes the methods used to reinforce an organisations message does, in the end, do it no favours.
