  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He stepped down from any position he may have had as part of BLM to create BLMI where he could be boss and support those loveable rogues and Insurrectionism enthusiasts the Proud Boys.

That is awesome! Now the republicans will have a much more difficult time tying BLM to democrats!
If the OP thinks that this is bad news for democrats, it is not.
Your sarcasm is duly noted. :):cool:

It wasn't sarcasm.

If Trump supporters want to keep claiming BLM was disguised as Trump supporters at the Jan 6th mob attack on the Capitol, well now we know that they have always been for Trump! It was Trump's mob!

Who says a BLM member can't support Trump? Just because they believe black lives matter (which they do matter) does not automatically mean they can't support Trump.

Would you like to talk about what Mark Fisher is quoted as saying in that article?

I was wondering why I'd never heard of him and then I read the flash and it clicked. He's the cofounder of BLM Rhode Island. No wonder he was unfamiliar. I've never even been to Rhode Island (or black). Given that about 5% of Black voters voted for trump last time, this isn't really all that remarkable, or noteworthy.

Why? He is a man with an opinion.

Are you insinuating that a black man most Americans, black and white, have never heard of say democrats are racist - and black Americans will magically turn against the democratic party?

USincognito said it best - "I wonder what conservative megadonor sent him a check."

I guess his Trump support went over like a lead zeppelin....

A spokesperson for BLM Rhode Island told Newsweek Wednesday afternoon that Fisher is "no longer affiliated with BLM RI."

"His position with us was and is terminated," the group said.

That ain't a shock, considering the Leftist politics of the BLM leaders.

Don't grieve for the poor lost man because chances are Trump will get wind of this man and bring him to his operation and pay him to convince others join the Trump side. I would believe it if this man purposefully pronounced his loyalty to the guy who 'will tell you like it is' for the attention and opportunity for 15 minutes of fame.

I believe Mark Fisher is speaking the truth because of the polls showing that the approval ratings for Biden and the Democratic Party is going down, down, down within the Black American community.

So now we're supposed to believe polls?

This is even better

"On Wednesday, the PAC released a statement to officially disassociate itself from Fisher, stating he "is not and has never been affiliated with our organization."

"The views expressed by Mr. Fisher in the referenced Fox News segment do not reflect the values or beliefs of BLM RI PAC," the group said. "We would like to emphasize that Mark Fisher claims association with Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, a nonprofit organization. Any statements or actions attributed to him should not be conflated with our organization.""


This information means that the OP title and shady Fox News article is nothing more than a lie because this man has never been associated with the Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, a nonprofit organization.

More false reporting from Fox News. What else is new?

Mark Fisher told Lawrence Jones that the Democratic party is not for "the Black community."
Anybody from New England who has a passing knowledge of BLM knows this guy is looney tunes. He wasn’t a co-founder, he was just some guy who worked online as an unpaid “advocate” who’d show up to events saying crazy things before being told by those in actually in charge to knock it off and go away.
