Obnoxious, not creative

Perhaps one of the most aggravating realities of social justice movements like Black Lives Matter is when Black people themselves proclaim it to be a non-issue. While those who do so tend to be only a handful, their views still gain massive traction and usually with those who have denounced it from the inception.

It creates a strange, faux counter-reality where people use identity politics to paint a situation with the same brush in a single stroke. In other words, if one Black person is saying this, then this gives us further justification to call the whole thing a sham.
