It's akin to what you are saying though.

But, IMO, the BLM movement has really mastered the art of nailing a crappy slogan, which has probably ended up causing division when there needn't have been any.
"Take the knee" is a good example. What was originally intended as a symbol of solidarity has been twisted and (deliberately, in some cases) misinterpreted as a demand for subservience and acceptance of guilt. And it was always obvious that such a statement would inevitably be spun in such a way. Well, of course people will become defensive and then hostile towards such a sentiment.
The same can be said for "defund the police". The initial meaning, albeit naive IMO, was not to abolish the police but to fund social services so that there wouldn't be such a need for heavy-handed policing. But it was painfully obvious that it would be taken at face value by both sides.
Anyway, that's my contribution to getting this turgid topic to its 6 page destination.
Replace it with something new ?

It's quite heartening to see a government tackle a failed system rather than just leave it in the too hard bucket.
