Opinion: Take Trump’s best weapon away from him
But once official Whitedom embraced the movement — adding the slogan to corporate websites and altering school curriculums to include classes in BLM — something of its authentic power may have been misappropriated. By the time people werein Black Lives Matter Plaza in D.C., I wondered whether some focus had been lost.
BLM as a business proposition seems at risk of becoming just another cultural fad. Leave it to corporations and other white groups to usurp a movement, brand it and market it, like “natural” foods, which aren’t always so natural. Within hours of Floyd’s death, theIf some of these marketing strategies help BLM-allergic people to better understand how blacks and other people of color perceive and experience life, then I’ll take a dozen.
in Portland, Ore., which started as a reaction to Floyd’s death, have since then come to look less like a rainbow of hope and more like a descent into anarchy. Portland is also where President Trump has decided to plant his flag and cast BLM as root of all chaos, supposedly necessitating wearing camouflage and armed with rifles, if only so he can deflect attention away from the virus and declare himself the law-and-order candidate.For Trump, Portland is a convenient development — maybe even a lifeline. If BLM wants to be an agent of change, the movement’s leaders should do all they can to end the protests in Portland. And stop giving Trump what he wants and needs: a hammer to save his reelection.
