This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations: R.L.G. (January 15, 2015). "#BlackLivesMatter". The Economist. Gretchen McCulloch (January 29, 2015). "Is a Hashtag a Word? The Case of #BlackLivesMatter". Slate. Jeff Guo (October 25, 2016). "Misplaced Pages is fixing one of the Internet's biggest flaws". The Washington Post. For instance—right now on the page for Black Lives Matter, there's an anonymous contributor who is upset that the article doesn't mention George Soros, who is believed by some on the alt-right to be the movement's ultimate sponsor. (It's not true.) The contributor accuses the pages editors of conspiring 'portray BLM in the most favorable light possible.' 'Easy,' one of the editors responds. 'Take a breath and let's see what we can agree on.'

This topic should not be protected from edits any longer

This topic should not be locked anymore. Clearly the fraud stuff should be contained within the first paragraph. 2600:1700:7491:D490:6899:D692:DF9C:701 (talk) 15:30, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

You can propose specific edit requests here. I think page protection is still required. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

The fraud is related to Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. It is in the lede of that article, where it is appropriate. — The Hand That Feeds You: 17:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. It makes sense in that article in the lede; not really in the lede here. Lewisguile (talk) 20:11, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

BLM and violence

There needs to be a greater discussion of the violence directly associated with BLM. During the July 2020 protests, extensive rioting also occurred with attacks on police, particularly in the Capital Hill area. I think the death total was 49 directly associated with the riots? Though would need to confirm this. If anyone has any sources:

Overall death toll. Murder of retired police captain David Dorn by a BLM activist. Though this seems quite well documented already. Capitol Hill Occupied Zone killings - there were at least two? Any direct links between the BLM hierarchy and the killings. Indirect links between the BLM hierarchy and the killings - for example incitement to hatred and violence. 86.62.30.191 (talk) 15:09, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Also the Texas shootings of 2016 were committed by a BLM supporter who was radicalised by BLM rhetoric. There needs to be a bit more on the historic (pre-2020) violence associated with BLM. 86.62.30.191 (talk) 15:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
