Improving Black Lives

Ideas.

And this is very true:
We started hearing calls from white Americans to do something to help ease the difficulties blacks are facing. On the surface, this seems good; the intentions definitely are good. The problem is that, with no context or reference to what is needed in the black community, and often with few black friends or colleagues to consult, many Americans—from those in corporate America to vocal social media consumers—are throwing support and resources behind Black Lives Matter, without considering carefully what the group actually stands for.
My suspicion about white folks who support BLM are that they know very few black people at all. I'd be willing to bet BLM has less than majority support within the black community.
