And, for whatever reason, there are people who perceive other people making demands that go beyond the pursuit of equal rights.

But the question specified push for "equal" rights.
As I said, if this was about something else, there are far better ways to make the message clear to the voters without easily causing confusions.

Basically, it shouldn't have to take several pages of quotes in a forum to figure out what they meant, because they know many people will take it for face value.

There are multiple problems with the question. Firstly, the question implies that all blacks demand for 'equal' rights. However, not all blacks think the same. BLM believes they're fighting for equality, but there are blacks who don't want to associate themselves with them because the movement is too violent and undiplomatic. Those blacks think BLM is using 'equality' has a buzzword rather than as an end goal. This leads into the second problem: the usage of the word, equality. It has a positive connotation, but the reality is that people have subjective standards for the term. There are some people who use the positive connotation as justification for their actions rather than letting the merits of their actions do the talking. We actually see this problem a lot from 3rd wave feminists where they frequently utilize the definition of feminism to justify their actions. However, they push for things such as quotas/equality of outcome policies rather than equality of opportunity policies, which is antithetical to the term.
