Your _mess_ of a thread has earned such comments from posts like this:

> [@All Americans need education in Black studies](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/all-americans-need-education-in-black-studies/978888/29):
>
> A lot of these objections are starting to sound like when they respond to Black Lives Matter with “All lives matter.” Wrong response! I maintain Black Lives Matter and Black studies matter too. We have to work on our knowledge.

Hijacking your own thread with BLM is _messy_.  
“Wrong response!” is just Jr. Modding, not debate. _Messy_

Stating a strong idea without any details in the OP is witnessing and not debate. _Messy_.
