I'm not saying identity politics is the right way out of anything. But there's only so long you can tell people, "work within this system," when the system repeatedly and brutally fucks them over. As far as they're concerned, the table falling over wouldn't be any worse for them than it already is now. If people really wanted to take the wind out of the sails of BLM, all they'd have to do is convict the next three cops. But that won't happen without, as you say, a major reformation. Identity politics is a gross, ugly way of getting somewhere when all the other methods have been proven meaningless.
