RE: Footage of the Talks at PDX's MASSIVE BLM March June 8, 2020

This seems to be a certain demographic but I don't think it's the majority. I think creating a bridge between BLM and the more skeptical (such as yourself) is how to avoid that because there are a lot of solid people with solid ideas who are part of this movement too.

Thanks for your comment. I just wrote a post that speaks to some of the complexities of how we think about groups. I think you might find it interesting. I'm not sure there is a 100% right or wrong way to speak to it, and it may depend on how radically a group behaves. At what point should we condemn the behaviors of a group when we know that not 100% of the people in a said group does those things? And at what point is it the responsibility of those who don't want to be associated with what the group is doing, to leave? I'm sure that many people living in Nazi Germany had to ask themselves similar questions, but they may not have had the luxury of a simple exit from the party. I'm sure many cops are faced with this dilemma too, and those are probably the good cops.
