So-called progressive Whites just cannot say "Black Lives Matter" so they abbreviate it to BLM

Abbreviating the phrase Black Lives Matter is a slap in the face of every victim of police brutality and institutional racism.

OMG! You do realize lots of people are using the abbreviation, not just 'white progressives'?
Are Charles M Blow and Deray McKesson suddenly 'white progressives'?
