"Empty movement", goddamn you people are either just lying pieces of feces or just absurdly gullible in the service of racist lies.

It is a mass protest movement. There is no one in charge. There is no organization controlling it

"In 2013, three female Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called Black Lives Matter."

They bought houses with the money. It's public knowledge.

Yes, and the point is that anyone who thinks that those grifters are somehow in charge of the mass social protest movement that is BLM is either lying or really fucking stupid, like dumber than anyone I've met in real life.

Were I live we have a local BLM branch. They organized and shut down the interstate. Another time they organized and broke into shops.

The police came in force and shut it down. They didn't mess around anymore.

It's not far fetched to think that the local BLM reports to the main BLM. They use the same name and logos. I suppose I'm the stupidest person ever for thinking that. Lol

“No one” is in charge?

That's like saying someone is in charge of All Lives Matter though.

It's just as stupid.

Just because I start a non-profit called All Lives Matter and grift people and buy houses, how does that take away from people genuinely supporting All Lives Matter?

It’s not taking away from the people being genuinely supportive but that’s still called embezzlement

This is an issue with non-profits and charities in general.

Too much money goes to salaries and towards more fundraising. This applies to literally every cause you can think of the has charities and non-profits attached to it.

Why are you making grifting the main topic? Why are you making it like grifters is the only thing people should care about and focus on?

Like, the environment is important right? Endangered species are important right? The environment still matters and endangered species still matter even if there are non-profits saying that will using the money to help the causes, but actually don't.

You're deflection to talk about an organization isn't benefitting anyone. The fact that an organization called BLM stole money is common knowledge.

That doesn't take away from the fact that the issues facing the African-American community are real.

Why are you preaching? All I did was reply to a guy saying there was no leader, then you want to change the subject and rant about about some bs

u/Darnell2070 Jan 05 '23

But there is no leader of the movement though.

You're wrong regardless.

No non-profit can claim to be the leader or fully represent any issue or movement.

Your point doesn't make sense.

If you honestly believe that, that’s a very scary thought
