African American

From photos, there were people of all races there - enjoying the parade. No one was excluding blacks.

However, by many accounts, BLM made the decision to block the parade in many cities for 30 minutes to honor a black woman killed by the police. I assume that had the event been a BLM rally to bring attention to her death and others, and any other group - say a group that wanted to get the message that we need to fight climate change - had come in and effectively took over -- for just 30 minutes - I assume YOU would not be posting that their message was important and climate change would affect everyone - including blacks and in fact, given environmental injustice, they might be more impact?

I get that for a black woman, racism is the biggest issue. I think you consider BLM the best advocate. What I was trying to explain to you is that many people, totally in your corner will resent the event they CHOSE to attend being used to convey a different message. The point is that GIVEN THE WAY BLM CHOOSES TO OPERATE some people, even some who agree on the issues, will resent what they see as BLM taking their event away from them.
