It is not an organization's responsibility nor ability to fix the world's problems. We have several of those that have been "trying" to do that for thousands of years - non of them make the world a better place. Organizations are so prone to corruption by outside interests through the acts of funding and philanthropy. Its everywhere in plain sight to see.
So who's responsibility is it? It is
all of ours and requires all our participation. If not, it is easy to sit back as a non participant and say
"I wonder if BLM (the organization) has fixed the world yet?", or worse feel like they don't need to participate at all because "
its the problem of the BLM organzation, not my problem to solve."
Joining a club, giving them money and practicing their rituals in the guise of fixing the world is what religions have been doing for a long time. It doesn't work. It doesn't do anything but give you the illusion it does - ad infinitum. People in their church have absolutely no idea of the corruption that has plagued their religion and would likely deny it if you told them. The group think offers protection to the corruptors.
I am speaking generally and broadly about how such organizations are most always hijacked by more private interest groups. Its risky and potentially dangerous. BLM is no different in my eyes. When I look at their guidance I see them only trying to encourage ways to promote outrage culture, find ways to make money for donations (of course), etc - instead of focusing on love and reconciliation, and small acts of kindness that go a long way - you know, the stuff we actually need.
Its up to each of us individually to influence the change, not some private clubs that have instructions for white people on how to act, etc.
This is why I do not support BLM the organization, or pretty much any organization - I didn't really learn the full truth about the cancer societies, until my father got cancer, then it became obvious that they were a front.
I of course, as indicate early in this thread support the black lives matter initiative and concept.
2 cents.
