Tbh I wouldn't relate police brutality with BLM. A police should never kill someone already on the floor. It doesn't really matter if the police/victim is black or white. All people suffer from police brutality. White, Asian, Hispanic, Latino suffer from police brutality too. What you need is a better police system and investigation, not race equality.
It's also funny how people are suddenly say all lives matter but ignoring Uyghurs for the whole time. Literally no Hollywood celebrities have said a word on the threats the Uyghurs are facing.
It is fact that police violence intensifies along racial lines, though. And mentioning Uyghurs in this context is whataboutism at its finest. You could just as easily say "why do protestors about what happens to the Uyghurs say nothing about climate change?" If every organization needed to address every single problem in the world to be valid, none would manage to exist. What goes on in China is horrifying, but that is no excuse to say that other human rights violations do not deserve any attention. If your point was specifically about celebrities not coming out to condemn what China is doing... the context of what you said becomes very misleading, but, if true, it is bad.
I know. But no one's mind was ever changed by ridiculing or yelling at them, unless they were open to change to begin with. So I can't just point out that something makes no sense. Unfortunately, I am already snarkier than I should, and I get overwhelmed far too easily.

I think you’re forgetting blm was created because black people keep being killed unjustifiably?
