2. For those not aware....

The Movement for Black Lives is a coalition of just over 50 organizations including Black Lives Matter.

One of this groups main goals is to coordinate with others in order to put up a united front and to establish a platform.

To answer your question about centrists supporting this platform, this centrist would. I do know some to the left of me who would call this a white jobs killing program. Directing questions like this at centrist is the wrong way to go. Many further to the left are about as racist as they come. Was it Joe Manchin who blocked a pathway to citizenship because it threatened jobs being held by whites?

We need to stop whitewashing racism.
