I would agree that there has been a lot of problematic race rhetoric posed by certain BLM aligned folks.. and would definitely posit that such soft censorship is a problem for the development of a mutually beneficial understanding of the racial problems plaguing this country between members of different races (there might be a more elegant way to state this).
An example of this aggressive, non-empathetic, censoring attitude that grinds my gears would be when that FB employee tried to publicly shame a colleague for opting not to put a BLM banner on the developer docs of RecoilJS. The whole mantra of "Silence is violence" can apparently now be used to accuse anyone of the terrible thoughtcrime of not talking about racism at all times.. even in places and situations where it doesn't make sense or wouldn't help the cause.
Extrapolate this out to how many people are unwilling to consider or merely listen to viewpoints that aren't in complete alignment (with whatever the accuser holds to be the absolute truth of non-racism).. yuck.
