jul 13, 2013 - Black Lives Matter

Description:

Following the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement gained major support. Conservative polarizers exploited the BLM movement to instill fear and concern among their supporters, showing it as violent and anti-police. They said that the movement was encouraging anarchy and chaos, and that it created a danger to the country's law and order. Liberal polarizers used the BLM movement to promote their own social justice and equality agenda. They emphasized structural racism and inequality faced by Black Americans and asked for real legislative reforms to tackle these challenges. They also criticized individuals who rejected the movement as violent or radical, claiming that such assessments were frequently based on racial prejudices and misinterpretations of the organization's aims.
