How did I miss this gem? Hey friends. * Smiles *
btw BLM’s founders/leaders are Marxist. They have been quite vocal about it.
“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.
“We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,”
I can see why an American would be okay w the phase BLM and absolutely not want to be associated w the organization. Many have pointed out that the fund sent to them get funneled through act blue directly to the DNC. There are all kinds of challenges w the organization itself. So accusing one of racism for being opposed to the entity is sophomoric and is worst type of reductionist argument. Just saying.
