I have no particular problem with the BLM movement, although by dominating debate it is also becoming utterly tiresome.
At some point in the future "blokes" (the gender that drink beer, like football, drive "motors", p against the wall etc) will become an endangered species. We can then start our own movement!
A new years eve fireworks (+ drones and lasers) display should be a visual and auditory spectacular marking the passing of one year and welcoming the next. Whether it is appropriate in the current crisis is a separate debate.
But it should not be an exercise in virtue signalling, and moralistic messaging.
