S01E02 – Did the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests/riots help?

In episode 2 of season 1 of the Finding Common Battle Grounds podcast, we tackle the question: Did the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests/riots help black people and communities in the US? On the major question, Josh and Ryan disagree. However, on a lot of other points, there is a lot of agreement – most of the protests were not violent, the media exaggerated the violence, riots in minority neighborhoods hurt those neighborhoods, and it appears as though racism, white supremacy, nationalism, and fascism are on the rise.
