Just an observation on BLM and some of the backlash to that moniker... i.e. -- all lives matter. That is very true and I always thought if the movement would have been labeled "Black Lives Matter Too" it would have been better understood. I think things have changed for the better, but my Dad pointed out to me that, in the past, if a Black child was abducted vs a White child, or an innocent Black couple in a poor neighborhood was shot and killed it didn't seem to bring as much attention and outrage as a White child or couple, even in a poor neighborhood.
I also attribute much of Trumps appeal and following to underlying racism. I think some voters were shell shocked that a Black man was elected President.
