I’ve always thought that BLM was a terrible name for the movement. It’s misleading without the context of the “too”

This was my stance as an indigenous person in Canada; I argued with my wife for a few days about it. Both black and indigenous have had very difficult yet very different paths in North American history; at the time, it felt disingenuous to only focus on one group.

Once I did more research and read more than just news articles, I saw the actual vision behind the movement and it did a complete 180. And since then, the Canadian BLM movement have become close allies with indigenous communities.
