Relationship between two, maybe this is where we bring in the conflict perspective
Black Lives Matter, often abbreviated as BLM, is a revisionary movement aimed at fighting discrimination and violence twords African-Americans. Although BLM is closely affiliated with organizations such as the Black Lives Matter Global Network, it’s composed of many different groups and organizations spanning across several countries.
BLM was regognized for street demonstrations because of the shooting of Michael Brown in missoury, and soffocation of Eric Garner in NYC.
On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed 25-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot while jogging in Glynn County, Georgia.[211] Arbery had been pursued and confronted by three white residents driving two vehicles, including a father and son who were armed.[212] All three men have been indicted on nine counts, including felony murder.[213]
Things to look for: "Black Lives Matter protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful; when violence does occur, it is often committed by police or by counter-protestors.[66][67][68] Despite this, opponents have falsely portrayed the movement as violent.[68][69]"

The hashtag #BlackLivesMatter often increases around protests and events. Blue Lives Matter protestants will share their opinions on similar issues under #BlueLivesMatter, which usually oppose perspectives of posts using the #Black Lives Matter hashtag. As a result, the usage of both hashtags often rise and fall at the same time.
