Black Lives Matter Activists Feud With Each Other
Quote:As new details emerge about the shooting death of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards in Dallas, black feminist activists are pushing back against the popular #SayHisName campaign, saying it ignores police violence against black women and transgender people.

Over the past two years, the #SayHisName has become a rallying cry on Twitter and at Black Lives Matter protests. Demonstrators often chant the refrain, along with the names of men shot by law enforcement.

Mic reports, some have said the hashtag is “problematic” because it’s a gendered phrase that contributes to “the media erasure of black women who are also victims of police violence in the United States.”

The Mic article highlights black womanist Chihiro Ogino, who has urged people to stop using #SayHisName.

“It derails ‘Say Her Name’ which centers on Black women whose murders aren’t as publicized & talked about,” Ogino said in a series of Tweets. “We don’t need to ‘Say His Name’, they’re already said. Say Her Name was created for Black women who have been killed. Say Her Name also reminds ppl that Black Women are so victims. Pls don’t disrespect them by centering others & co-opting their movement.”

All this could be solved by one man...
