Did you know you can support Sanders and BLM at the same time?

100. I understand.

Upon further reflection, I agree with you that among Black people, only a minority consciously hold "radical" positions such as revolutionary ones, nationalist ones, or groups such as NOI, for instance. I also think that those are often the most dynamic political currents among the Black community. In the 1960s, only a few tens of thousands (or so) were in the orbit of the Black Panther Party, I think, and still that party made a tremendous impact.

Perhaps George Washington Carver was more attuned to most Black people's cultural-political disposition that WEB DuBois - I don't know. And yet, I think DuBois has the more powerful, enduring legacy (again, my opinion).

What I don't think you're going to see is Black people en masse condemning someone for pointing out that police are killing Black people in the streets, wherever and however they choose to point that out. And I think that any conspiracy-theorizing (whether such conspiracy is true or not) regarding individuals' intentions in pointing these things out is completely unhelpful to liberals.
