Just like there are violent fringe groups who associate themselves with BLM, but it’s fallacious and dishonest to conflate them with the BLM movement and/or organization as a whole. How are you not grasping this concept that is both so simple and so personally relatable to you? You have to really put a lot of work into avoiding this moment of clarity. What motivates you to do this?

Wait, so now were dismissing groups because you consider their numbers small?
Remember this?

Now all of the sudden small or "fringe" groups don't matter?
NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) is LITERALLY a gay organization started in the 70's, not saying they represent ALL gay people but at one point this "fringe" group seemed to have a lot of clout.

Quote:In 1993, the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) achieved United Nations consultative status. NAMBLA's membership in ILGA drew heavy criticism and caused the suspension of ILGA. Many gay organizations called for the ILGA to dissolve ties with NAMBLA. Republican Senator Jesse Helms proposed a bill to withhold US$119 million in UN contributions until U.S. President Bill Clinton could certify that no UN agency grants any official status to organizations that condoned pedophilia.[16] The bill was unanimously approved by Congress and signed into law by Clinton in April 1994.*emphasis mine*
In 1994, ILGA expelled NAMBLA— the first U.S.-based organization to be a member...
As we can see, they were the first "gay" US organization to be recognized on the world stage, but it was a "fringe" group though, right?
Say what you will about "violent fringe" black organizations (no idea who they are), but I bet you won't find any of them (however brief) represented at the UN.
