Don't anyone take this the wrong way because I'm a born-American citizen myself, but I just want to point out that the rest of the world is going "WTF is wrong with America?" because of things like this. They are making jokes like "Americans are having a Corona-party" on the street again and "American protests with free Corona gift for attending" and things like that. The rest of the world is so gobsmacked that America has the highest Corona numbers in the world (but of course, also the largest amount of tests, so of course the numbers are going to be more accurate, I always defend this point) but that Americans are so eager to rush out into the streets and catch and spread Corona like it's a joke.

The things they are saying is annoying/infuriating. Like who the fuck cares about specifically only "black trans women" right now? Let's just all together support ALL black people. Black men, black women, black children, black humans. I know, I know, me even saying "ALL black lives matter" is the equivalent of saying "All lives matter" to these people. That's what happens when you nitpick people's intentions to fit your agenda, eventually they come to nitpick your intentions to fit theirs.

BLM was supposed to be about all black lives and then it got hijacked to be trans focused like all modern social justice movements. And even before that BLM didn't give a shit about black womens lives.

I just want to make a slight correction - Initially BLM was about ending police violence and focused specifically on black <s>people</s> men.

These days it's just letters painted on a baseball bat to hit people as racist if they don't agree with the movement/slogan. The wheels fell off the wagon.

You're right. I mean, there's been several cases where a black woman has been the one being unfairly attacked by the police or subject to unfair sentencing and huh... would you look at that BLM is nowhere to be fucking found. Breanna Taylor didn't get even half as much support as George Floyd and the support she did get was mostly from women, mostly black. People with the BLM tag on their twitter account turned it into a fucking meme. And I've found several times people with BLM in their bios being racist towards black people (usually black women). The only black lives BLM matters to are those of black males including transwomen. Black females are only there to mule for them, they don't care about us.
