They're frustrated that our society isn't taking the disastrous and ongoing killing of unarmed Black people seriously enough. I get their concerns and I feel their passion for justice. We want the same things. We just have different ideas about how to get there. Since they're kids, they're infuriating. Since I'm older, I'm annoying.
It is frustrating. It's ill-informed actions like this that have really undercut the message of BLM, and pretty much destroyed its effectiveness and credibility. Instead, BLM is not taken seriously by the very people who don't understand why killing unarmed black people is a problem or even accept that it is a problem.
College students must learn that you don’t win an argument by being the loudest. You win an argument by having a better argument.
