The link you shared - from the Post-Millenial - is troubling.
First, when reading it, to me, the language from the BLM site the article discussed did not line up w/what the article was accusing it of.
Second, the very beginning of the Wikipedia page about The Post-Millenial says this (and cites decent-looking sources for each point):
"The Post Millennial is a conservative Canadian online news magazine started in 2017. It publishes national and local news and has a large amount of opinion content. It has been criticized for releasing misinformation and articles written by fake personas,[1] for having unknowingly employed an editor with ties to white supremacist-platforming and pro-Kremlin media outlets,[2] and for opaque funding and political connections.[3][4]"
Simply put, Black Lives Matter, or BLM, is fundamentally about racist police violence and systemic racism in the justice system. That's at the core of it.
IMHO most critiques such as the one you raise seem to mainly be an attempt to obfuscate that simple fact.
You looked up the Wikipedia for post millennial, but couldn’t be bothered to double check archive.org to confirm the language referenced in the article was in fact on the BLM site until it was recently removed? See: https://web.archive.org/web/20190118185735/https://blacklive...
'We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.'
So what? There are tons of cultures in which child raising is communal. Including various parts of Western cultures at various times.
They're not saying "nuclear families suck." They're saying, "nuclear families are one approach among many which humanity uses to raise children, and it's not necessarily always the best."
'Disrupt' doesn't mean 'Destroy'.
They also said 'to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.' Meaning, IMHO, 'folks should make their own choices for their own families.'
Considering how incredibly destructive slavery was to any form of family institution (father sold or killed, mother sold, child not, etc), and how that has echoed down to the present day in the black community, I can understand why black folks would want to have that discussion.
Which is not just a discussion being had by black people, either.
