He's the one who joined and immediately bombed #smwc with how he thinks "the BLM movement is stupid" because it advocates an "us and them" mentality. Which I disagree with because the way I see it, is the "us and them" mentality was already an issue and BLM is simply the response to something that can't exactly be ignored, but at least his heart was in the right place in that regard.
IIRC, he addressed the violence and destruction involved with the movement voicing his disagreement with that as well. Which is admirable and I don't agree with violence in any protest because it's not only counterproductive to a movement, it reflects badly upon it.
But then, to further his argument, he dropped a bunch of biased and inaccurate statistics about white vs black crimes and murder, tried to justify saying that no one can blame the way police can sometimes generally tend to treat black folks as a saftey precaution, based on said biased and inaccurate statistics, and generally implied that black people in an inner-city ghetto have little to no reason to complain, speaking as a privileged white kid.
