Yes, I understand that sometimes, activists can get their heads completely up their own asses, like the ones in Vincent Lloyd's seminar. I don't question that the sort of black-focused-to-the-exclusion-of-everything-else he described is real and, if tried in the real world, will only alienate people. Christ, just read Huggy Bear's posts on the subject for an example of that. Thing is, in my research, the closest thing to the event you described that I've seen them do is maybe dogpiling on Twitter. Or shit like this:





What I don't see is them actively bullying people IRL into supporting BLM. If the narrative that Ngo and the Examiner are pushing is actually true, then this sort of inexcusable act is still outnumbered by all the many cases of right-wing media sources (like them) overblowing some story and pushing the sort of narrative that, if it's not black people who are inherently violent, then it's BLM that's bad. And, in many of those cases, it turns out they're leaving out crucial information. There's only so many times such sources can talk about shit like that and leave out crucial information before we start reflexively asking for more information or suspecting that the "victim" might have actually provoked his attackers.
