Comment[edit]

I made an edit to the article. I think it's likely false to claim that DeRay McKesson is the de facto leader of Black Lives Matter. In any case, that claim does not appear in the source. (Actually, the New York Times doesn't even mention McKesson as associated with BLM).2601:47:4200:542:CAF7:33FF:FE77:D800 (talk) 17:02, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heavy.com and rightwingnews.com[edit]

I feel uncertain about these two websites, and I don't know if they should be cited in this article, especially since it describes a real person (yes, Goforth has sadly passed away and WP:BLP doesn't strictly apply to him, but tact is still called called for). Should they be removed from this article as citations? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:29, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
