Editor,
Black Lives Matter supporter: A response to “Wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
The Black Lives Matter movement was formed to protest the constant and consistent persecution of Black people, particularly Black men.
To suggest that the Black Lives Matter movement is a covert Marxist movement is beyond preposterous.
What does “a cargo of vindictive intersectional ideology that is destructive to any further civil rights progress” mean?
Who in Black Lives Matter suggested that anyone is guilty of irredeemable racism based on the color of their skin?
On the contrary, the Black Lives Matter group has celebrated the fact that many racial groups are joining the movement.
Black Lives Matter groups in Minneapolis, Minn., and Louisville, Ky., have done nothing more then threaten local businesses with a boycott if said businesses don’t hire a a certain percentage of people of color, provide for diversity training and a few other request for silly left wing messaging.
But the only leverage used by BLM was to threaten a boycott of the business.
The same method is used by the political right and political left to try to influence businesses on any number of issues.
Marxist ideology has long been associated with an objective of destroying the nuclear family.
Even if you believe this supposition, just because a so-called leader of Black Livese Matter is self-proclaimed Marxist, doesn’t mean the entire Black Lives Matter organization is intent on the destruction of the nuclear family.
How ridiculous is that idea?
What on God’s green earth does ShutDown -STEM have to do with scientific methods to seek the truth?
ShutDownSTEM is an organization encouraging Black and white people to step up and eradicate anti-black racism.
Martin Luther King Jr. and people around him stressed a loving non-violent approach to protesting racism and Jim Crow.
Granted the BLM movement is less loving and more demanding, but can you blame people for losing their patience.
Persecution of Black and other people of color goes on and on and on.
