My reaction when I read this cwM 5 wyiYWo <| sep |> Yes , in the sense that any group operating on the basis of race is inherently divisive , but that doesn ' t automatically mean their overall impact will be negative . They ' re claiming to be an actionoriented group , so judge them on their actions . Helping people is still helping people , even if it ' s only black people . I ' ll have a bit of problem with it if they receive public funding but otherwise , black people providing supportrepresentation to other black people doesn ' t harm anyone , so leave them to it . Regarding your concerns , I would say it depends on what narrative they take with their actions . Just because they ' re limiting their attention to black people doesn ' t mean they ' ll make divisions worse . It ' s the difference between helping people and blaming people . Focus on helping people and in the end , everyone wins . Focus on blaming people and you get BLM . Considering this group is basically a consolidation of shared interests by numerous existing groups of which I ' ve never heard , I ' m more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on not being a bunch of the publicity seeking , blame everyone else variety . All that aside , you are still correct in principle . This should be readily apparent if you imagine how people would react to a White Canadian Action Congress with the exact same mission statement . See how quick that gets lumped in with white supremacy regardless of goals . Oh , you focus on education and advocacy ? How nice . Only for white people ? Fuck you Nazi . So yes , it is racist and divisive , but it ' s also reality . Those divisions already exist and groups like these done in the right way can still be good .
