[QUOTE="istodolez, post: 75129323, member: 428671"] Yet they failed to put ANYTHING about Marxism in their statement of what they are about. But, in the end, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm not a BLM-dues-paying member. The stated organizational goals seem quite reasonable but BLM didn't create the need for this topic. Nor are they the only voice. We're talking racism in the US. If the only way to divert the topic away so we can enjoy another century or two of systemic racism and the most current method is to focus on one single group and then NOT on their actual STATED POSITIONS but rather on some of the personal beliefs of a few members, then, good job! Job well done! If MLK had lived long enough I've no doubt the exact same argument would have applied to him (he was working on the "poor people's campaign" toward the end of his life and of course the US government has expended a HUGE amount of money and effort to try to find flaws in his personality in order to undercut his message...AND THAT ONE WAS ONE OF PEACE!) And with this approach we can guarantee that we'll be right back here with people marching in the streets a few years down the line and you folks will be once again clutching your pearls and trying to figure out what is WRONG with these protestors. It's the cycle. This is America's original sin and we can't give it up. [/QUOTE]
