BLM founder moves to rich white neighborhood

[Aldebaran]

Yes but it is getting increasingly hard to critique when only one side is being presented and opponents erased form media. Reminds me of the old Soviet Union days. lol

Our side will soon have its own platform--on April 20th: Frank VIP Signup

She does

did you watch this?

“I do believe that we can get to a place where there is a socio economic system that doesn’t oppress some groups of some people and only uplifts a few.”

do you think that is Marxism?

Her point seems to be she doesn't want a select few to have most of the money, but her recent actions would seem to suggest otherwise.

what actions?
buying a 3 bedroom, two bath ranch house?

 

[SoldierOfTheKing]

The issue is her marixism phislophy is inconsistent with her lifestyle.

It's more than that - her actions suggest that she doesn't really believe what she says about police being dangerous to the lives of black people. It follows, then, that the motive for her anti-police agitation is something quite different than what she professes...

That would be the 4th home. There are 3 others, just like Bernie Sanders "needs".

i could only find information on two other homes, one in Inglewood when she purchased around 2015, renovated and just sold and the other in south central that she purchased for her parents.

it is such a tragedy that with humans and movements, they tend to be co-opted by psychopaths and other evil persons for their own advantage. we might seem innocent until we are tempted. why is it that so many "leaders" are so corrupt or inferior? this makes me all the more appreciate a truly good leader.

Evil? corrupt? How judgemental, she bought a nice house for her family for pete’s sake.

It’s quite amusing to see the Christians here falling over themselves to call someone out for hypocrisy for not acting according to the values they espouse.

I was under the impression that the bible taught that you weren’t to judge others?

Who is more hypocritical I wonder? A Marxist for buying themselves an expensive house, or a Christian publicly judging others, from a position of ignorance of their circumstances?

It’s a head scratcher!

Sounds Canadian.

perhaps you should speak to a former Soviet to see if modern America is like the Soviet days. playing the victim seems the same excuse as your contemporaries. there are effective ways to communicate messages but not all methods work, this is the same for those you speak against. learn what works and refine your skill to communicate with others. Paul tells us "To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some." we may parrot whatever rhetoric that makes the most noise or we can adjust our methodologies to engage others creatively and effectively. People are not our enemy, they are our mission.

It's not that she is a full-on Marxist, clearly not, it's that she has some sort of anti-capitalist agenda yet very clearly profits from it.

I know plenty of Ukrainians who speak of those days and even now are seeing their old ways coming to light here, especially the one sided media.

An ideology is not a religion, it has been pointed out that the founding principles are marxist which is godless is nature.

Which of their “founding principles” are Marxist?
Point them out.
Or is just “something you heard”?

I’m curious, what has she said that suggests an anti-capitalist agenda? I suppose her Marxist leanings would.

How does owning multiple homes suggest any kind of belief about policing?

In her comments about being a marxist (which she never answers)
“I do believe that we can get to a place where there is a socio economic system that doesn’t oppress some groups of some people and only uplifts a few.”

She is critiquing American capatalism. I'm not saying a statement like that isn't a worthy goal only that she seems to have benifited from this oppressive socio economic system that she speaks of.

 

[grasping the after wind]

So cell phones are the god people hold in their hands?

For some that may well be the case.

 

[SilverBear]

she answers that rather clearly

“I do believe that we can get to a place where there is a socio economic system that doesn’t oppress some groups of some people and only uplifts a few.”

who did she rob or oppresses ?

 

[Larniavc]

I hope everyone comes to realize that on an anonymous forum, there are no real reputational consequences

An aside from the topic here but you can’t possibly believe that people don’t become absolutely incensed by what other people write when it disagrees with them.

 

[timothyu]

How do the goals of BLM compare to those of the AIM

Why is that?

I read about it in a number of places.

Due to social distancing, I don't hear much of anything anymore.
