I'm not defending them or anything, just talking from my expirence.

The line betwwen "modern feminist" and "feminazi" is very thin nowadays.

Then I understand you point a bit better. When you meet someone like that in person then your only perception would be negative so I can't blame you for thinking like that.

Other black people may criticise the movement because they view it from a different angle. They take it from a different approach much like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. It's two people of the same background but with two different stances on the subject. It's not that the movement is wrong when your own people criticise it, it's that they disagree with the methods of your approach to the subject.
Important note; Keep in mind I'm not targeting you specifically SpaceJockey and nor should anyone else, I'm just saying this on a more general level. I've seen this kind of conversation come up plenty of times on these topics where, for some reason, a single incident voids any legitimacy an entire movement has. The two most recent being Jessie Williams's speech at the BET awards and this shooting. What it comes down to is a group of people who have been known to be shot at and treated different taking a stance about these kind of events. We can debate all day on how BLM should be presented but there isn't really any denying the facts on incidents where a black person has been shot dead.
I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject but from studying history and watching documentaries on American history, this type of black violence stems from a very painful and brutal history. It is rooted within American society and institutionalised racism still seems to be prevalent. Yes some might use it as a way of saying "you owe us"/guilt tripping but it does exist which is where BLM comes from and I also think it's important to note that it's not about saying white people are racist.
