Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Keen) and other women holding a GC event at Speaker's Corner in London are surrounded and harassed by BLM activists.

Just shows how other good causes, like anti-racism, have been hijacked by Trans, Inc.

Thanks to s/jet199 for originally posting this video!

I think people really need to understand that when woke people say anti-racism this doesn't mean what it used to. Just as white supremacy doesn't mean actual white supremacists any more. https://spectator.us/anti-racism-really-means-debate-white-fragility/

I posted this on the other thread, so this is a repost, but I think important in showing how other good causes, like anti-racism, are being Trojan Horsed by Trans, Inc., just like LGB organizations were:

In the US, Black Lives Matter has support for transgenders written into its platform; you can find that on the BLM website.

It could be that Black Lives Matter shares funders with Trans, Inc. (Soros?) because there was also a march recently for Black Trans Lives, in New York City, I think, that 20,000 allegedly people attended. From pictures, it looked like most of the people were young, non-trans, whites.

I have sympathy for black men who feel as if they're women, especially since many of them are actually self-hating gays and also are forced into prostitution, but some of these protestors are just relatively wealthy, white, virtue-signaling idiots.

Another very powerful and well-established group for black Americans is the NAACP. It too has come out officially in support of transgenders.

If anyone’s going to promote divisiveness it’s Russia.

We must make sure that the women that spoke aren't lost in this. https://youtu.be/kR0XtWqOY0E

I asked this on the other thread too, but would you mind telling us about your experiences at the protest?

BLM was holding their own protest, correct? So did the BLM protestors just see the GC speakers and stroll over to yell at them? Was it all the BLM protestors, or just a few? Did they threaten violence?

It's so incredibly sad that BLM protestors can't see that racism parallels sexism in that neither black men nor women can escape their oppression by changing their appearance, whereas all TIMs have to do is dress like a man and they're home free.

Instead, TIMs want women to be human shields for their clothing options.

Black British woman here.

I can guarantee the protesters harassing those women were white because a lot of the black community, particularly black feminist women, aren't with the trans stuff.

BLM has been hijacked by extreme leftists and most of these vocal actovitists only support it simply because it's a left wing ideology and not because of legitimate care. These people view being black as a secondary trait rather than a primary one and as such view us in a very one dimensional way, seeing our blackness as the only component of our identity and seemingly forgetting that black people can face other forms of discrimination as well as racism, such as sexism, homophobia, ableism ect. Black people are just people and a lot of people seem to forget that we all have differing viewpoints.

It's silly to judge a whole movement off of the actions of a few unhinged individuals and l wouldn't view their actions as typical of the movement. As a black gender critical woman it irritates me to have this trans stuff overshadowing the movement especially when it's something I completely don't agree with.

They weren't white. Watch the video.

This isn't a just a case of the evil TRA taking over good movements. The woke, grievanced way of thinking is itself unhealthy and destructive.

We need to be careful we don't feed that mindset too much ourselves in GC and fall into the same trap.

Touché, I should've watched the video, I'm honestly quite surprised and believe me when I say that their feelings lean towards the minority within the black community.

I think they're mistakenly affiliating being a radfem with being right leaning as that's how they make it out to be on social media when it doesn't particularly have any relation to your political views. I've seen racist radfems but there are plenty of Liberal ones too. At the end of the day those women definitely do not represent me.

[–]jet199 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

If course they don't represent you, because black women aren't all one mass who think the same.

This shouldn't need saying but unfortunately that's the right-on way to judge people now.

[–]BEB[S] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think that it's important to remember that gender ideology is being taught in schools in the UK, US, Canada and other countries.

So kids of all backgrounds are being indoctrinated from a very young and impressionable age into "Trans women are women" and it's become almost a religion at this point.

So I cut these young women some slack. They think they're on the side of right. They're just annoying. And YOUNG.

They weren't white. Watch the video.

I was just thinking that I'm going to save this video for the next time I get told that only stupid white women fall for this crap and black women don't. So much for that fairy tale...

When I watch this it seems to me that the average young black "SJW" is not exactly a lot different than the average white one. (I have to admit I had to chuckle at the fact they even had one with blue hair in this instance.)

There's a US-based website primarily for black women called LIPSTICK ALLEY, and many of the women there pull no punches at calling out all sorts of political BS - Left, Right, Center. There's a contingent on LSA that will call out the idiocy of transgender activism wherever they see it. The women on LSA can be really funny.

In the US, transgender activists have managed to insert gender ideology into not just movements like BLM, but corporations, the media, academia - trans activists started laying the groundwork in the 1990s, while many women were sleeping.

At the London protest, some of the protesters were black, but young, so brainwashed and you know, YOUNG. I'll find the video.

This is infuriating.

[–]Daraincork 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

So depressing . Posie is a very brave and resolute woman. More power to her elbow. What on earth possessed BLM to attack her?

[–]jet199 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

BLM is pro trans. Apparently one of the founders was in a relationship with a TiF at the time.

[–]julesburm1891 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Here’s the About section from the BLM website: https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

Unsurprisingly, they recognize gender identity as a category worth protecting and don’t acknowledge sex. There’s a fair bit to about the trans community and one half-assed sentence about women.

Bonus: LGB people are a “sexual identity” and “queer,” which are two things that immediately make me not trust an organization.

[–]lefterfield 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah their belief section is all kinds of sketchy, given that the vast majority is focused on the all-important trans.

[–]MarkTwainiac 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Can someone post the footage elsewhere. I'm locked out of Twitter.

[–]BEB[S] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You don't have to be a Twitter member to access Twitter. Just type into your search engine the "Twitter handle of the person you want to read" for instance "@cocoabsss" and then "Twitter" (without the quotation marks) and you'll get their account.

Ignore any prompt that asks you to sign up for Twitter.

I've been reading Twitter for years without signing up.

I think it's on Posie's Facebook page.

TRA’s on Twitter claim that it was radfems who were the ones who hijacked the BLM march.

[–]CastleHoward 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I think the woke might lie about anything and I'm starting to get fed up with the lies.

[–]jet199 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Not just the woke. A certain set of rad fems are spreading this lie as well.

Although you could say many of them are still woke, they only rejected the parts which effect women, ie themselves, but sign up to all the other woke beliefs and unhealthy ways of thinking.

[–]CastleHoward 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's very disruptive to your life to reject it all at once, believe me. For me, it was a house of cards. For others it takes longer to join the dots. Yesterday I had a woman on Ovarit demanding that we centre black women so we can prevent a repeat of Black Lives Matter trying to silence us. The language she used was nearly identical to the TRA language. It's was amazing she didn't see it. It's all grown from the same patch of land.

Here's the TRA take if you want to shake up your perspective. https://twitter.com/cocoabsss/status/1300420441115426816?s=19

Here an account from a black rad fem. https://twitter.com/Aja02537920/status/1300455707876249602?s=19

Yesterday I read some skepticism among GCers about this BLM apology, because the apology comes from the Twitter account of someone who claims to be a spokesperson for BLM.

So has he actually been verified as a BLM spokesperson? Because he claims that the protestors harassing the feminists were not BLM, right? So he could be some random and not actually speaking on behalf of BLM.
