A lot of people who could have raised this issue were shouted at for being racist, anti-black, etc. no matter if their concerns were valid.

Sean Kevin Campbell's article was some great investigative journalism. Highly recommend reading to anyone interested in deeper knowledge about this controversy. I've seen several pundits (on "both" sides) regurgitate his work inaccurately, so think reading his article directly is important.

Sean Campbell is black. That doesn't stop you from being called a racist for criticizing BLM; but it certainly helps.
