There was tremendous BLM support from hundreds of companies..

For a month or two..

But then media coverage shifted from daily “peaceful protests” to nightly “riots, fires, destruction, violence.”

A lot of companies have stepped away from the movement because of that shift.

It’s hard to get a nation to come together around Floyd since he was on drugs and a repeat criminal.

It’s hard to get a nation to come together around blm since no black leaders have put any meaningful effort into the movement - Obama? Jackson? Abrams? King Center?

Even the smaller more local groups have distanced themselves in the wake of all the violence, riots, fires, destruction, crime, assault, murders, shootings, etc.

But change is happening, slowly but surely, change is happening.
