In reply to the discussion: BLM at William and Mary shut down ACLU forum chanting Liberalism is white supremacy [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)any passionate activist group that springs up like this is going to draw people from across the political personality spectrum and for sure contain some extremists. Since extremists from both sides are passionately antagonistic to liberals, who strongly dominate the Democratic Party, I sure can't guess from this whether these chanters were lead from the right, far left, or both.
But in any case, what matter is that the movement itself continue and not drive its own members away. Hopefully, capable members of BLM will be able to get control away from extremists. If not, they may just have to organize and continue to fight for social justice under another name. Many groups have survived being swarmed by extremists at times, including the ACLU.
