Yea, but enumerating BLM skeptics in the same breath as nazis is not welcoming, and it's not respectful.

I'm a BLM skeptic because it seems pretty clear to me that the movement has distracted everyone from the real issues of police brutality, under training, and militarization. It's distracting from the real issue of declining social mobility in the US, and it's blaming racism at the same time as nigerian immigrants are falsifying that premise clearly.

Making these things into identity issue means we aren't making progress as we aren't talking about them, we're just screaming at each other and blaming the other side.
