Mainstream journalism finally pointing out the rightist failure to understand BLM that I have been pointing out for years:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/12/opinion/eliza-fletcher-memphis-violence.html

Quote
“Say her name,” they tweet, as though there could possibly be an analogy between Ms. Fletcher’s death, allegedly at the hands of a man whom the Shelby County district attorney has characterized as a lone killer, and Breonna Taylor’s killing at the hands of the Louisville Metro Police Department.

When Fletcher is killed and Abston is promptly arrested, it shows that accountability is already occurring, therefore no one needs to say Fletcher's name.

When Taylor is killed and no one is arrested for years, it shows that accountability is not occurring, therefore everyone needs to say Taylor's name.

Rightists do not understand the above, therefore misappropriate the BLM slogan for their own use.

“Say her name,” they tweet, as though Black women aren’t **** and killed every single day without making national news.
...
the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation processed the DNA involved in Ms. Fletcher’s killing in a matter of hours because of a rush request by the Memphis Police Department. No rush request was made in the **** case from last year.
