I'm not sure why you would expect a BLM activist to show mercy or any sense of qui pro quo when they don't appear to live in the same reality as the rest of us.
These are people who, if they had their way, would extract everything you own for "reparations" and then condemn you to endless poverty once your utility is finished. Anyone playing power politics tends to end up in these games where "the opposition" gets roughly the same amount of consideration as you'd lend cockroaches.
Agreed. Ghetto blacks is more apt, although there are exceptions within that group but go around the hood asking about reparations and at least 8/10 of them will be all about it.
I think it's a bit of a US-centric issue, tbh. My in-laws are Ghanaian - and undeniably black - but I cannot reconcile the behavior I see here with their own standards of behavior.
I mean, if he's specifically talking about American black people, maybe, but my own instincts tell me he's still using something of a broad brush, but I think he's - without thinking about - including a significant fraction of the planet based off what I'm assuming is the most extreme behavior of a few American activists.

Black people? Not so much. You're using a very broad brush there, far broader than I can think of any justification for.
Black activists? Yeah, that's a better fit.
