38. BLM then needs a leadership overhaul or unfortunately it will DIE!

They aren't going to accomplish anything with the crap they are doing lately.

I just really hope that they can either find new and better leadership (someone like Symone Sanders) or the movement is rebooted to get back to working the cause that really needs working instead of fueling certain individuals' thirst for self-aggrandizement that's going to screw everyone if it is allowed to get any more attention than it has already.
