Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It isn't name calling, it is part of their organizations directly stated goals. This is deliberate ignorance on the part of folks who really want to support something that would be good. Black lives matter, there is little doubt of that IMHO, this is a good thing, however supporting their organization because it is named something you want to support is like supporting East Germany because it said it was a Democratic Republic while ignoring that it wasn't Democratic... and not a republic...
