A number of JavaScript projects have put support messages for the Black Lives Matter movement into the top of their README or home pages. I think it’s an excellent thing, personally.

I agree with the sentiment that BLM, but I don't see how a message/banner/whatever helps in the matter.

Autist here. I see this with so much human behaviour. Often the purpose seems not to be actual measurable progress but rather social signalling. I suppose it serves a social purpose, perhaps it is a precursor to material change. I feel it is important to remember that humans are tribal apes. If we deny our nature, it is much harder to overcome.

It's a nonsense thing but, hey, it's easier than doing something of actual value.

"Black lives matter" I guess.
