(9,888 posts)can call their group anything they want. The point that some people are trying to make is that it is counterproductive to call it that. It is counterproductive because it raises the hackles of the very people they are trying to influence. The response to this is normally some form of "We don't care if some white people are uncomfortable with the name of our group."
OK, it's BLM's prerogative to care or not care what people think in response to their group name. They don't have to change their name because it makes some people uptight. But it remains that if you are trying to change things, you can't piss off, or make feel uncomfortable or uptight, the people you are trying to change. People don't change because you tell them to. People don't change if you scream at them loud enough.
