The Platform of The Movement for Black Lives

9. "So, I'm not sure that's useful hyperbole"

You cannot agree with the sentiment in one sentence and then call it hyperbole in the next. Fact is that it isn’t hyperbole.

And if you want to have the conversation in terms of centrism, comparisons as to why that poses little significance outside of deviceveness should be fully acceptable conversation. Specially when the darling of the left blocked over ten million people from a pathway to citizenship in order to protect predominately white jobs.

“Is The Platform of TM4BL so 'radical' that only "extremists" support it? ”

You and I seem to be in a different place. I don’t find this to be an extremist organization as you do. I think it’s a fair assumption that the organization has overall support for the platform. That is the metric you are trying to use as an indicator of extremism.

Again, this centrist is on board for a lot of the platform. The items are nothing new. They haven’t been sold to the public in mass and that is a big part of systemic racism. It’s all of our jobs to sell it. There is some great stuff here but unfortunately it isn’t being shared as a way to debate its merits. It’s being shared as a way to explore division.

Do centrists support this. This centrist supports a majority of it. Even that to which I think would never work are great for reading and education.

Centrist this. Centrist that. All while the isolationist left spews racism daily.

We have racists in or ranks. Racism knows no political ideology. Some are able to look past their inherent racism in a way to see how items like this fit into their ideology. Our ranks are full of those as well.
