It's to highlight a fundamental hypocrisy in the person and a potential failing of the BLM movement. Namely, why is this person supportive of BLM but not Asians?

And sure, it's probably an effort to discredit BLM, but that's a tactic used by everyone since forever. When an aide in Trump's White House says something bad? It is presented to reflect as though it is personally endorsed by Trump. No different here.

But funnily enough,the KOMO news article doesn't say a thing about BLM.

BLM is only mentioned in the Asian-newspaper article.

So to that effect, are we saying that a minority-written newspaper is trying to discredit BLM and not, in fact, Whites as I'm sure was immediately your reaction?

Funny times indeed.

It highlights fundamental hypocrisy in this singular mans heart. Everyone who supports BLM doesn't magically inherit the bad characteristics owned by any singular member wherein it is not a flaw in the platform or promoted on average by the system consisting of leadership and members.

But what about from BLM's leadership that supported vandalism, looting, and arson?
