So I'm can only speak for myself and my two cents should be taken as such.

With the DNC set to vote on a Resolution supporting Black Lives Matter, and with it becoming clear that it will be part of Democrats platform of issues, as well as a much needed conversation, I would not like to see Black Lives Matter posts removed from the main forums.

Also people who may be against the Black Lives Matter movement and the one's who need to hear their message the most.

Again, I just wanted to add my personal opinion. The opinions of the group members here should be the deciding factor.
