NGL I can stan like a maximum of half the letters in DSA and have no real idea who Adolph Reed is or what he did to get him disinvited from the demsucc speed dating club.
That being said, the BLM movement is deserving of our uncritical support and I'm intensely suspicious of anyone criticising them or trying to portray the liberation of oppressed classes and races as in conflict with each other like you're doing in your title.
There's certainly nothing perfect under the sun but I do think there are people, movements and ideas it's unproductive to publically criticise 😉
We only have so much social capital, if we say too many things peple kind of stop listening and the more things we try to emphasise the less effective it is. Additionally, when people hear support or criticism of ideas/movements/people/etc often they won't process or retain the reasons behind the support/criticism they'll only hear and remember Thing GOOD or Thing BAD.
That's what uncritical support means to me, not that there are no valid criticisms to make, but that making them in a publically is counter productive.
Reed would not have been disinvited from the DSA event if they saw him his an important piece of the intersection. They rejected it.

No anywhere deserves uncritical support friend.

I guess the issue is it's impossible for every criticism to made privately. But I hear you.
