Can you elaborate? 96.231.250.31 (talk) 19:20, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Black Lives Matter thing you did was unsourced, extremely contentious, and, well, false. Per the reply Jkudlick made to you at Talk:History of the United States#Edits / Length, particularly its second paragraph, you're adding falsehoods to this website in service of your political beliefs.

So you're saying that the riots mentioned there were not BLM riots? Please read actual sources before allowing your political bias to cloud your discernment: George Floyd protests

How can you mention George Floyd, riots of 2020, and not include Black Lives Matter in this historical context? 96.231.250.31 (talk) 20:14, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your first source doesn't use the phrase "Black Lives Matter" at all. Your second source, which shows that 9 of the 11 people who were killed at BLM protests in 2020 were themselves BLM protesters, doesn't use the word "riot" at all. If you don't have a reliable source that explicitly supports what you're claiming, don't expect me to try to come to the same conclusion as you. City of Silver 20:26, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
