> for starters don't forget treyvon in 2012, that was the real catalyst. but anyways, yes the entire woke zeitgeist was built on the backs of the blm movement and strategy. yeah, trayvon was when it started to heat up, but blm with mike brown was the first time i remember sustained, organized protests. with trayvon there was a lot of arguing back and forth, and then the court case. with mike brown, the protesting started the same weekend in which he was shot. the rumor that he had his hands up and the cop shot anyway spread like wildfire through st louis and people were outraged.  what's really insane is that they kept the hands up, don't shoot motto for years even after holder's doj investigation proved beyond a doubt that mike brown actually did not have his hands up. rather, he was actively attacking officer wilson when he was finally shot.
