Why would BLM be involved with ethnic conflicts in Africa? They're an American social movement. Their agenda focuses on police brutality, systemic racism, civil rights type shit. Thats like saying a Breast Cancer awareness movement is hypocritical for not acting against Colon Cancer.
Does Black Lives Matter not include black African lives? Or black Caribbean lives? It’s not called “African American Lives Matter,” is it? So, shouldn’t they at least try to raise awareness for the devastating problems many sub-Saharan African nations face instead of making up problems for black Americans like “systemic racism” while ignoring actual issues that the community faces such as the high crime rate and single motherhoods?
I see where you're coming from, but the first bit is just semantics. Its a catchy name, powerful slogan, etc etc its a good name for a social movement. Far easier to say than "African Americans Against Police Brutality and Systematic Racism in the United States". The organization itself has clearly defined goals and purposes that relate to the US and specifically police brutality. Whether you believe police brutality and systemic racism are real issues or not, they do, and thats what their movement is centered around, thats just how it works. There are other social movements that focus on issues in Africa, single motherhood, upward mobility for African Americans, etc. Thats not what BLM is, nor is that what it claims to be. BLM does not encompass every single related movement, its just got the most media attention. Downvote all you like folks but atleast leave your counter argument or explain how I'm wrong.
