My neighborhood named a street Charlie Kirk Lane last week

As they should! If we had a square called “White Lives Matter Plaza” you would riot. No race should have preferential treatment over another, if they do, that’s racism at the most basic form.

Weird that Nancy Mace is so concerned about stolen donation money now 🤔

So where’s the Hispanic lives matter plaza? Where’s the indigenous lives matter plaza? Where’s the Arab lives matter plaza? Where’s the Indian lives matter plaza? Oh right, there isn’t one. That is what’s fundamentally wrong with a “Black Lives Matter” Plaza. Instead it’s being renamed in honor of someone murdered in front of hundreds of right and left wing students alike.

You’re the one saying you would be rioting over the renaming of a plaza with a money theft campaign disguised as performative activism

BLMGNF is not the leader of the BLM movement btw. Some BLM chapters even criticized Patrisse Cullors for her mansion purchase and her efforts to influence the chapters

Either way, no plaza should be named to promote performative activism. BLM as a whole is racist to literally every other race, and I say this as someone who’s lived in a predominantly black Caribbean country for three years where being white or brown makes you a target.

The leader of BLM saw the money and became corrupt. There is no argument there. However, that doesn’t change the meaning and mission behind what BLM stood for. Black lives were being taken by law enforcement/civilians with no true justice being served. So while yes All lives do matter, certain lives don’t get justice when they are unlawfully killed.

BLM is a political movement with an explicit ideological framework, and that framework routinely treats people differently based on race and labels disagreement as moral failure. A movement that divides people into racial groups and assigns collective guilt or moral hierarchy is, by definition, engaging in racial discrimination.

A government-funded plaza should not permanently endorse a race-based political ideology. Doing so makes the plaza itself exclusionary. Removing or renaming it is a move toward neutrality, not racism. Like it or not renaming it CK Freedom of Speech Plaza doesn’t exclude any race, as the inherently racist BLM plaza did.

BLM is not geared towards treating people differently based off of race. However, you do realize people like you are the reason our country keeps going in circles. If you hate BLM, DEI, race conversations, etc etc, then admit there is a racism issue in this country. The more you deny it the more we have to go harder. And then naming it after Charlie Kirk, a man who was divisive, racist, and bigoted does nothing but add fuel to the fire.

BLM absolutely treats people differently by race, it centers race as the lens and labels disagreement as racism. I’m not denying racism exists; I’m rejecting race-based solutions. People are people. Equality isn’t circular or conditional. And disagreeing with Charlie Kirk doesn’t make him racist or bigoted, that’s just another way to shut down debate.

You are genuinely the issue in this country.
