In reply to the discussion: About BLM, and flat social justice movements [View all]sadoldgirl
(3,431 posts)9. Thank you for posting this!
The flat structure makes a lot of sense considering the
dangers to the leaders, since we all know that we live
in a country full of violence.
I have observed a real disconnect between latinos and
AAs in my own neighborhood. It feels sometimes almost
like angry competition. I think that this hurts both sides more
than they realize, but I also decided that their agendas
are part of that division.
BTW,lady, do you ever get to sleep? Stay healthy will you?

It's unfortunate that BLM local chapters can be used by nefarious characters
