The politicising of BLM will have caused many teetering on the edge of disliking some races more than others to have hardened their opinions, without a doubt, I hear this in everyday talk, on amateur radio talk, especially from the USA, and on the less censored forums. It must have been the dumbest marketing strategy of all times. When a black person is left wondering why that dream job goal disappeared, or that landlord suddenly demanded Draconian references, or was tardy in communications, they might like to ponder whether BLM has done their cause any favours, damage that will take a generation to forget if they disappeared today. It has certainly entrenched my views of race relations here in England. At my most generous I might consider some afficianados of BLM to be ignorant political pawns. But probably far from unwilling ones! Liberal elements of the media are just rubbing in the salt with their pandering to this mob, the quiet majority will take action in retaliation in quiet ways, for sure. Mob rule won't beat the establishment yet.
