I’ve gotta agree with Oprah on this one, there’s a very clear goal with the most recent shooting. The problem with having a “list of demands” is that you have to agree with all of them in order to support the movement so the big ones tend to get lost. Example being in Toronto BLM tried to force pride to stop allowing LGBT officers from marching in uniform, I don’t agree with that and I don’t agree with how they went about it either. Supporting a movement were I don’t actually agree with everything would shift the focus from the part I care about.
