Quite literally, in the past six months, I have not heard a single person care about this issue, nor do I know a single person who takes any meaningful steps towards fixing it. The only time it is ever referenced is when people are attacking the BLM movement. I have not heard it come up in any other context whatsoever.
It is my opinion that it is a completely irrelevant issue to virtually everyone in this country, something that if pushed in our faces we say "that is awful" and then proceed to do nothing to help afterwards or care about. I could be wrong about that of course, but that's my experience. Beyond that, those complaining about people not supporting China are universally also taking no steps to support China either but just are yelling at others for being hypocrites.
As far as I can tell the China comparison only exists for people whom are against the BLM movement in order to undermine the BLM movement as I have not heard it referenced in any other way at all since the riots were a big news item for a week or so.
You have not seen a single reference to BLM in the last six months? Surely you must mean something different.
Yes China is only brought up to knock the players supports of BLM. But it’s a valid criticism and it hurts their position.
Today’s stand down is another example. They care until it impacts their bottom line. Hard to take their concern as seriously. Everyone else needs to act, not them.
