“The general public has become a bit exhausted,” says a co-founder of BLM’s Los Angeles chapter
Tef Poe sees it, nothing has improved in Ferguson, a mostly black suburb of St Louis, in the past six years. It was there that the rapper and activist co-founded Hands Up United, a campaign group, in 2014, after a policeman shot dead a local teenager, Michael Brown. Mr Poe became a voice of Black Lives Matter as police clashed with protesters. He recalls a flurry of public interest, the “trendy movement”, and enthusiasm of hangers-on who saw activism “as the new Nike Swoosh”.
Public interest has drifted. Ms Abdullah recalls how for two years she would speak daily on national television aboutand black rights. Producers stopped calling, she said, the moment Donald Trump was elected. Some sympathisers have also been waylaid by other causes, such as supporting Bernie Sanders’s presidential run. “The general public has become a bit exhausted,” she concedes.
Other factors could also be behind that. Police in both Chicago and Los Angeles have spent time under a “consent decree”, meaning years of scrutiny from the Justice Department to improve behaviour. Police who now do fewer stop-and-searches of young men end up shooting fewer of them. Legalisation of marijuana in some states may have calmed things down.
