It's also worth remembering that no one involved in BLM has asked, or is really bothered by the TV shows being taken down, it's a distraction if anything, their goals are much broader. Most of this is being done because white people in charge feel it could be a bit dodgy and they feel uncomfortable about it and it shows them to be doing something, even if that something isn't really helpful. There's also the position that it winds up people who are in support of BLMs actual goals but distracting them with their beloved Fawlty towers being removed gives the right wing press something to dig in to, and changes the conversation from what's important, to stuff that really isn't.
