I would think that it would feel jarring as well to the BLM movement, who haven't gotten nearly the traction they had right up until the DNC convention since.Well, there -was- a successful campaign from the right to make BLM to heavy a set of baggage to carry. It can be politically expedient to ditch BLM -particularly- if you want to achieve some of BLMs goals. The whole world moves fast now Wall.
Telling people you're going to stop talking about them getting shot by cops for political expediency is a tough sell. Especially, given their track record of being ignored in general.
