So what?
If it weren't for BLM, you wouldn't have had millions of Americans out
on the streets in June and July. I don't see it as an organization but
as a sprawling, locally based movement that depends on local initiatives
mostly led by people who only know Kellogg as the cereal they eat in the
morning. This article

captures the essence of this movement, not the obsessive attacks from
Socialist Equality Party, Matt Taibbi and Adolph Reed Jr.
Most of the young people organizing the protests hardly seemed to be
cooptation-bait as indicated by aNew York Magazine interview
<https://www.thecut.com/2020/06/6-teens-organized-a-protest-10-000-people-showed-up.html>with
the female, teenage organizers of a Louisville protest that drew 10,000:
New York Magazine: Have you faced any backlash since the protest?
And what does it mean to you three to be doing this work in the South?
Kennedy: I was actually surprised that we had a lot of support,
because we do live in the South, and I’ve encountered various types
of racism from people in the South. We did get backlash from a lot
of people saying we’re brainwashed or that we’re being paid to do
this or that we’re secret people the Democrats are using to win.
Emma Rose: We’re not even Democrats.
Kennedy: I’m not even a Democrat. I’m a radical.
