I used to be an anarchist, and helped organize and participate in protest to free Palestine since 2001-2002, organized against police murders of black men in my community since 2006 or so, and organized protests against the murders of Trayvon martin, Mike brown, etc before BLM became a huge movement after George floyd.
Just saying.
Then you should probably know what I'm talking about. I'm not saying there wasn't anyone or any organizing around anti-racism at all.
My point is that it was much more the exception than the rule. It wasn't a universal priority. Now everyone understands it as critical and necessary.
