@supermila What makes BLM seem like a hive mind, that doesn't apply to other groups of people?
B/c how you're describing it, since BLM creators find inspiration from Assata Shakur, I as a supporter of BLM also without a doubt find inspiration from Assata Shakur. Why can't people have their own influences, their own heroes, and their own life gurus but also just happen to have a desire to fix a common issue? Why does it have to be "they look up to a police killer so BLM as a whole supports the killing of police", especially when you can acknowledge that there are people in this thread who have said I don't support the killing of police. Are we like the token black people or ????
Also, why do you get to define what aspect of Assata Shakur activism they find inspiring? Maybe they find her inspiring for her activism with the Black Panther Party. Maybe they do find her inspiring because of her activism with the Black Liberation Army. But who are you to decide that, why is your assumption & perception the truth?
I've looked on the website recently & they do link to her demand but the link doesn't go through. So how do you come to the conclusion that they are calling or advocating for the death of cops.. aside from assuming they are because of who Assata Shakur is?
