The BLM Movement: An Existential Threat to America
Its sudden rise and metastasizing power puts America at a dangerous crossroads.
BLACK LIVES MATTER has taken America by storm. Simply put, it is a radical Leftist outfit that seeks to replace capitalism with socialism, abolish the police (and let criminals out of jail), and looks to socialist Venezuela as a model. Historically, BLM’s antecedents reach back to the Black Panthers of the 1960s; in recent years it has drawn inspiration from the radical Occupy Wall Street movement.
The BLM movement was given added impetus by the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The Left mobilized upon Brown’s tragic death in 2014, BLM and other radical groups promoting the false narrative of "Hands up! Don't shoot!"--supposedly the young man’s final words before he was, we were told, brutally gunned down by a racist white cop. Destructive and deadly riots ensued.
Of course, "Hands up! Don't shoot!" was One. Big. Lie. Every black witness who testified before the grand jury stated that Michael Brown had attempted to force his way into the officer's police cruiser, assaulted the officer, and tried to grab his weapon. Looked at objectively, Mr Brown was a thug who, sadly, paid with his life for the terrible choices he made; even the Obama justice department could not come to a different conclusion.
Yet due to his death at the hands of a white police officer--as well as 2 or 3 similar events in recent years--the monstrous lie took hold that white police officers were engaged in genocide against black men. This dangerous falsehood was assiduously promoted by many in the media and by legions of “progressive” professors on our college campuses, where sadly, the mostly white student bodies lapped up every word; "yes, they thought, America is irredeemably racist, and there is nothing we can do to remove the stain of bigotry from our white skin except bow down before the New Racial Conformity.” So today young whites fall to their knees to repudiate their "white privilege" and beg for forgiveness that will never be forthcoming. And why not? Because, our new racial overlords lecture us, racism is not simply inherent in white America’s shameful past, it still permeates our white skin, and we can do nothing about that; it is who we are. White folks can even debase themselves by washing the feet of black men (as has occurred recently in several separate incidents), yet the original stain of white racism can never be symbolically washed away.
Of course, the protests and riots of the past two weeks were triggered by the tragic death of George Floyd. He certainly did not deserve to die, and those responsible should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. However, it is troubling that this man has been transformed into a tragic hero of the Left--this man with a long “rap” sheet, who once stuck a pistol in the stomach of a pregnant woman during a home invasion robbery.
Yet Floyd’s untimely demise is ruthlessly exploited by BLM as yet another example of the “fact” that black men are being murdered wholesale by racist police officers. Might there be at least a scintilla of truth to that explosive charge? Question: How many unarmed African-Americans were shot and killed by police last year?
90,000?
9,000?
900?
90?
9?
9,000?
900?
90?
9?
If you selected "9" you’d be correct. In other words, in the millions of encounters law enforcement had with African-Americans in 2019, only 9 unarmed blacks were killed; and according to police records, a majority of the fatal encounters were the outcome of fully justified police actions. In the same year, 19 unarmed whites were shot dead by police; yet no one hears or even seems to care about these victims, because they don’t fit the Left’s narrative. (Note: The above data is gleaned from the Washington Post’s data base of fatal police shootings; however, after this tally of 9 unarmed black victims was reported by several news outlets, the Post scrambled to reclassify more than a dozen of its armed victims of police shootings as unarmed in an obvious attempt to plump up the number of black victims; still, even the new figure [if it can be trusted] raised the number of unarmed black victims in 2019 to just 15, which comprise just 0.2 percent of all black homicide victims.)
Annually, some 93% of all black homicide victims are killed by other blacks; in Chicago a few days ago 18 African-Americans were shot and killed on a single day of almost unparalled violence—all by other blacks. Of course the thousands of overwhelmingly male African-Americans killed each year by other African-Americans are also of little concern to the radical Left and their “progressive” media allies, as they work together to whip America into a veritable frenzy of rioting, looting, destruction, even murder.
Where do we go from here? I have no answer to that question, other than to say that all good people who believe in real justice (not the Marxist scam of "social justice") need to raise up their voices in opposition to the scurrilous lies and uncivilized behavior of groups like BLM. Police are NOT waging war on African-Americans. This is NOT a nation mired in systemic racism. We are a flawed yet decent people, who for decades have struggle successfully to right the wrongs of our past. We need bow down before no one.
Yet time is short. The Left has prepared the cultural battlefield well, and with BLM in the vanguard, they have turned to outright insurrection in an effort to obliterate the Judeo-Christian underpinnings of our civilization This is now occuring right before our eyes in Seattle, where BLM, Antifa, and other radical groups have seized control of a large swath of the city; while they beat innocent people and extort money from businesses, the mayor hails them as patriots and orders the president back into his bunker. “Black Lives Matter!” she virtue signals.
So where do things stand at this utterly surreal moment in our nation’s history: After 50+ years of relentless Leftist agitation, America has finally reached an existential tipping point; indeed, should Biden win the presidency in November, his victory will be far from a conventional one; more likely it will signify a final and enduring seizure of power by BLM, Antifa and other Marxist/anarchist forces bent on destroying all decent Americans hold dear.

Lives Matter Managing Director Roasted for Dodging Questions on Finances,

Kailee Scales, managing director
for Black Lives Matter Network Action Fund and Black Lives Matter Global
Network, Inc., has been universally panned for her performance in an online
Q&A where she dodged simple questions about where donations to
the movement actually go.
Scales was
the subject of an “AMA” or “Ask Me Anything” discussion on Reddit Monday. Over
the course of 17 total answers, she explained the group’s advocacy for
defunding police departments and addressed issues of crime, violence, and the
Wuhan coronavirus as they relate to Black Lives Matter protests. However, the
reactions to many of her posts were overwhelmingly negative, with users
complaining about vague and tone-deaf answers to basic questions.

I am Kailee Scales, Managing Director for Black Lives
Matter. Ask...
Finances was one
particular focus of Scales’ critics. Black Lives Matter has been the recipient
of millions of dollars in the past few weeks, as a string of corporations and celebrities announced massive donations for her
organization to establish social justice bona fides for themselves. “Obviously
right now BLM is getting MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars in donations,” asked one Reddit user. “Where
is all the money going and how is it allocated?”
“Yeah, I would love to see a report
about the amount of donations and for what it was used. Without this, the
organization only uses the BLM name tag to get donations,” another said in the
ensuing discussion thread.
Scales ignored these messages but
eventually answered a question on the same topic. It did not go over well.
“When people give money to Black
Lives Matter, where specifically does it go?” one user asked. “What’s financial transparency
like for your organization?”
Scales gave a terse, generic reply. “Hi — great question. Right
now, our programs are focused on civic engagement, expansion of chapters, Arts
& Culture, organizing and digital advocacy resources and tools,” she said.
“Please visit our website and subscribe to blacklivesmatter.com for updates and
more information to come!”
This response did not satisfy the
Q&A participants, who signaled their disapproval by “downvoting” Scales’
reply. Her post currently has -1163 net votes. The top comment on that
thread asked: “Why don’t you post actual links to where the funding goes?
This is not an answer.” Several Redditors then tried looking up tax information
for the foundation, questioning whether it is even a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Scales also received copious
criticism and downvotes on the topic of antisemitism, offering only a
rote denunciation of “hate speech or bias of any kind.” One user gave specific
examples of alleged antisemitism in the movement, asking how BLM will fight
bigotry within its own ranks:
Your organization has been accused
of anti-semitism both by its members, it’s alliances, and its reverence for
avowed Jew haters. For example, the myth that Jews were particularly involved
in the slave trade seems to be particularly pervasive and pernicious, and is
entirely fabricated by the Nation of Islam. Jews on the streets of Brooklyn
have been repeatedly targetted by black citizens in violent crimes. BLM has
turned a blind eye to antisemitism in its support of the Palestinian cause, a
cause in no way related to black equality in the United States.
It should be obvious that equality
for blacks people cannot be achieved through bigotry and subjugation of another
oppressed group.
What are you doing to fight bigotry
within BLM?
Scales flatly denied any problems
with Jew hatred in the movement: “I am not sure where you receive your
information, but BLM is a political home for all those marginalized, invisible,
and oppressed by the dominant culture,” she said. “We do not support or express
hate speech or bias of any kind.” That post currently stands at nearly -800 net
votes.
“Not surprised at all by their
non-answer,” one reply stated. “I support the protests, police reform, and
especially black lives. But if the organization can’t even disavow the many
anti-Semitic statements and dog whistles it puts out, there needs to be a
better group leading this righteous cause.”
The most-upvoted comment in the entire
discussion summarized frustrations with Scales’ evasive answers: “As a
Black woman, I’m really disappointed… this AMA has really colored me to BLM as
not having themselves together with hard and fast facts,” one user wrote. “I’m
done reading this AMA because it’s not [answers about anything]. It’s a lot of
reposting and saying going to BLM website.”
