Why?! Why do projects like this that have virtually nothing to do with politics encourage political activism? I would really love to know. Any comments are welcome.
Since they are involved in politics so deeply, I refuse to use Sass. Less it is. Hopefully they are not involved in politics yet, or at least not on this level.
The project itself may not have anything to do with politics, but the people running the project do. They're using their project as a platform to increase the visibility of their message. In your case it seems to have backfired, but other people may be inspired by their respect for the developers behind Sass to pay more attention to BLM.
It is therefore ironic that you posted this thread, further spreading their message, despite your apparent disagreement with it.

Well, regardless of my stance on it, it backfired only because I do not like getting these things mixed up, is all. Politics is way too pervasive.
