Me:...White folks and POC with respectability politics defanged BLM.

Rando in my mentions: just say 'some people'.

Me: No.

I like clarity in writing.

So I will give Rando some grace and bring MOAR clarity to what I thought was already explicit:
White liberals, white mods and conservatives, and POC who think there is safety in being white-adjacent, were not only resistant to the goal of defunding the police they were openly hostile to it, giving explicit approval to policies that allowed police departments to further militarize and attack our communities.

There. Clarity.

'Some people' lets folks off the hook for this current moment and folks can fuck that right in the ear.
