While I would agree that it is political, it's because it is a movement and has become political. The organization was created after the movement and does not necessarily reflect the will or intentions of the actual movement. It's like if back in the day there was an org called Women's Suffrage. It doesn't mean the focus of all people who want women's suffrage are part of an organization named that after the movement started.
Women's suffrage is probably the worst example you could have chosen -- in what way is fighting for the right to vote not inherently political?
I was saying that BLM is a political movement. It's not necessarily an organization.
I refer you to Skunk Anansie, though.
