Difficulties in the BLM movement leadership

[Aldebaran]

do you have a reason outside of racism to be highlighting his middle name?

I was attempting to be respectful by saying his entire name (why do you call it "highlighting"?). Wouldn't want to leave out anything. But I forgot that everything is racist, so....

But hey! You managed to divert attention away from the fact that Barack Hussein Obama failed to "do something" for his 8 years. Congrats!

starting in 2016 Mr Obama was a private citizen. Exactly what was he supposed to do?

2017, January 20, noon.

The day and time that gave America the best days it ever had, at least for the following 4 years.

Karl Rove disagrees with you. in 2007 he advised Republicans to not use Mr Obama's middle name saying that ""Barack Hussein Obama" would sound like a rallying cry for bigots." Karl Rove and the Right by Marc Ambinder The Atlantic 8/20/07

Fact? According to who?

Well, maybe Karl Rove can chime in here to explain how a person's name can be a rallying cry for anything, unless he somehow foresaw the events of 2020 when names of black people became a rallying cry for committing violence in the streets. "Say his name!", right alongside, "No justice, no peace!"

Fact? According to who?

You had your chance in post 206, 213, 216, and now 226 to tell us what he did to help blacks. I'll give you a 5th opportunity (generous as I am) to tell us what he did for those people. Alternatively, you could also pick at some part of my post you don't like and focus on that instead--just as you did the other times.

....and wanted to be unemployed. Otherwise, blacks and hispanics had it pretty good under Trump. They had better employment numbers than ever before.

If that were true, there would not have been a record number of black men voting for his re-election

Exit polls are usually inaccurate but never so much as in 2020 Exit Polls Can Be Misleading — Especially This Year. Almost half the votes cast were done with absentee ballots in 2020.

the AP VoteCast survey of the U.S. electorate collected from interviews with more than 110,000 people across the U.S showed that 91% of black voters supported Biden and this number was unchanged from 2016.

People have started to notice that Black Lives Matter, the organization,
is sitting on a massive pile of cash and doesn’t seem to be following
standard procedures for a non-profit.

“BLM was given 60 days to file tax and charity documents for 2020 —
the year it previously confirmed collecting a staggering $90 million,
with at least $60 million left over after expenses and grants.”
Black Lives Matter Halts Fundraising Amid Scrutiny of Finances and Legal Threats

The move comes less than a week after a Washington Examiner
investigation found that BLM has had no known leader in charge
of its $60 million bankroll since its co-founder resigned in May.

California and Washington recently ordered BLM to cease all
fundraising activities in their blue states due to the failure
of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the legal
entity that represents the national BLM movement, to report
information about its finances in 2020.."

Indiana’s attorney general slammed Black Lives Matter this week as
a “scam” whose “house of cards may be falling” amid the growing legal
attention into its murky $60 million coffers.

Why did they allow it to continue in their red states?

Why did they allow it to continue in their red states?

Not sure, hope they close the whole movement down.

Edit:
"Both California and Washington recently ordered the Black Lives Matter
Global Network Foundation to stop collecting donations because it was
delinquent in crucial tax and charity filings.

BLM’s charity registration is also out of compliance in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland,
New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia, according to the Examiner."

Looks like they'd better spend that 60 million quick! Maybe some more mansions for their elite to spend their time in. At least their black lives will matter.

Their lives “will” matter?
Their lives don’t matter now?

 

[Semper-Fi]

Their lives “will” matter?
Their lives don’t matter now?

This verse comes to mind. Mark 8:36 (KJV)

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain
the whole world, and lose his own soul?

You managed to divert attention away from the fact that
Barack Hussein Obama failed to "do something" for his 8 years.

Former President Obama did what he said he would do.

Barack Obama vowed to fundamentally transform the United States.
He began the process of remaking America. Eight years later we
seen the result of this dramatic transformation, and not for the good.

Now we have JoeObama 3.0 to carry on destroying America.

Pray, where do you see these transformations?
What did Obama do that Trump was not able to undo?

If you look at the context as written in my post, I was referring to the elite that are getting all that money.
