BLM is a radical movement that aims not merely at corrective legal measures, such as reforming the police by adopting body cameras, or the judiciary so that police misconduct is prosecuted, but also at a thorough transformative work on the US system centered on the elimination of antiblackness as the foundation upon which to create a just society for all.Central in this vision is the focus on race as crucially at the heart of Western capitalism and imperialism, on the historical specificity of antiblackness, and on the continuing legacy of slavery.
