Kentucky fried chicken still uses the same original recipe, but it started calling itself, "KFC" to take the focus off of the word, "fried," which sounded unhealthy.
BLM should re-brand, and drop the "B." It should still be about racial injustice, but they'd reach other demographics - Conservatives whites who don't know they're racist, are racially insensitive, or simply ignorant about racial issues. A lot of cops fall into those categories.
BLM needs visible leadership, and those leaders should resist the urge to appear militant. It just scares whites into voting for Trump, who basically told racists and xenophobes who hated Obama just because he was black that, "You're not racists. You're PATRIOTS defending your culture!"
BLM needs to prioritize its goals. Ending police brutality is more important than taking Uncle Ben's picture off of rice. Housing and job discrimination is more important than renaming Fort Hood.
They need to put an official code of conduct for protests right there on its website next to the mission statement, which by the way, is not a terrorist manifesto. There are racists online flat-out lying about that. If BLM had leaders doing interviews on the news more often, they could better debunk those rumors.

America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding.
He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie.
Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims.
With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside.
Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered.
Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

Can we please draw a line? Can we make a rule? No NEW racial slurs.
The N-word, blackface, the S-word for Hispanics, the C-word for Asians...Any mature person today should know what's truly offensive.
I'm a white liberal. Some of my BEST friends are black. NOT "token" black friends, so don't give me that, "Saying you have black friends is racist" BS. I'm differentiating here. I have TRUE black friends. I've spent years living with black people, so if you don't understand what I'm saying here, then YOU are part of the problem, and YOU are an intolerant, extreme liberal.
I'm also a New York Jew. Am I allowed to use the word, "ghetto"? It's not like I say it all the time, but I've never caused problems saying it in mixed company. There are lots of things that blacks AND whites do that are straight-up ghetto. If neo-liberals want to "ban" a word that used to be acceptable, they should at least do a press-release to let us know. (Do the kids still say, "straight up?)
If you don't get why I mentioned that I'm Jewish, you should learn something about Jews and the word, "ghetto".
I'm also a New York Jew who spent half his life in the South. That Confederate flag doesn't mean the same thing everywhere. If it were up to me, I'd put it in that "offensive" category, and ban it at NASCAR. I've always wondered why they displayed it at Governors' mansions and Southern courthouses. But I also know that a lot of Southerners see it the same way as some blacks see wearing African jewelry as an expression of black pride. They see it as Southern pride, so don't act like they're Klan members. They're not. A lot of them are "Just good 'ole boys, never meanin' no harm."
Too many extreme liberals are becoming just as intolerant as racists.
