论文摘要
自2014年以来，黑人生活问题一直是美国社会变革的主要力量，社交媒体在运动的发展和扩散中起着核心作用。美国历史上最大的抗议活动发生在乔治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd）在明尼阿波利斯警察局（Minneapolis Police）手中的5月下旬和2020年6月上旬发生。这一事件重新点燃了对BLM运动的广泛支持。抗议活动不仅是因为它们的规模值得注意，而且在美国仍在努力控制Covid-19-19大流行的传播的时候发生，每天有20,000多个新案件。由于抗议条件和警察人群的控制策略加剧了疾病的传播，而同因子不成比例地影响少数群体，因此假设参与和对抗议活动的支持将涉及系统性种族主义和疾病传播风险之间的平衡行为。但是，社交媒体数据表明事实并非如此，讨论BLM运动取代了美国社交媒体上的Covid讨论。 BLM运动或抗议行动的支持者或反对者都没有提到Covid是一个因素。 BLM支持者运动的框架在很大程度上复制了早期研究的框架，新的框架围绕着该运动从种族主义，警察军事化和唐纳德·特朗普总统所获得的反对派。话语证明了令人担忧的两极分化，仇恨，不可活力和阴谋内容，并且与以前研究的共同话语有许多相似之处。这表明，乔治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd）的死，作为一个被美国警察杀害的非裔美国人男子的另一个例子，在很大程度上是通过建立的两极分化的身份立场来看出的，这些立场对事件做出了反应，并导致了抗议活动，在很大程度上是已成已保留的结论，该结论已建立并明确而无需参考持续的大流行。
Black Lives Matter has been a major force for social change in the US since 2014, with social media playing a core role in the development and proliferation of the movement. The largest protests in US history occurred in late May and early June 2020, following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. This incident reignited widespread support for the BLM movement. The protests were notable not only for their size but also that they occurred at a time the US was still struggling to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 20,000 new cases per day. With protest conditions and police crowd control tactics exacerbating disease spread and with COVID disproportionately affecting minority populations, it was hypothesised that participation in and support for the protests would involve a balancing act between the risks of systemic racism and of disease spread. However, social media data suggest that this was not the case, with discussion of the BLM movement replacing discussion of COVID on US social media. Neither supporters or opposers of the BLM movement or protest action mentioned COVID as a factor. Framings of the movement by BLM supporters largely replicated those of earlier studies, with new frames emerging surrounding the opposition the movement has received from racism, police militarisation and President Donald Trump. Discourse evidenced worrying levels of polarisation, hate, incivility and conspiracy content and bore many similarities to previously studied COVID discourse. This suggests that George Floyd's death, as yet another example of an African American man killed by US police, was largely seen through established, polarised identity positions that made reactions to the incident and resulting protest largely a foregone conclusion, established and articulated without reference to the ongoing pandemic.
