Blacks in the USA sold themselves to the devil, not the whites

#1 Well, it looks like we found the chess.com operative who wants to stir a shouting match. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that this is no way to structure a debate.

via Merriam-Webster:
structure (n.): the arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex.
#8 I think the key question is to what extent that particular political group captures public discussion of real problems.

lichess.org/blog/Xtz5iBAAACMASQAf/black-lives-matter states:

"In support of this, we will be running a marathon event next week and encouraging people to donate their time or resources to BLM or other organisations working to enact change. These are just suggestions, please give to whichever organisations you wish to support.
Black Lives Matter
American Civil Liberties Union"

whereas itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality (a different cause) states:

"All proceeds will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund split 50/50."

I think that people agree that there is at least one humanitarian problem (and a need for criminal justice reform) however the question about how best to solve it is still open. Personally, I believe ACLU and the group entitled "Black Lives Matter" are politically oriented rather than oriented around humanitarian causes.
Let's get this straight:
The title is attacking black Americans (3: racial prejudice or discrimination) in general but everyone is arguing about BLM?
#15 Indeed... I think for the title alone this topic could be closed and if there's a desire for reasonable discussion, it could start with not attacking a minority group.
