Blm is a Marxist organization whose primary purpose is not to help black lives, but to bring about a communism society in America. One of the cofounders said that she and another cofounder were “trained Marxists.” https://imgur.com/gallery/0vQNK0K Demonstrating just how far left they are, another cofounder wrote an article on a Venezuelan news website in which she called out Bernie Sanders for calling Hugo Chavez a dictator. https://imgur.com/gallery/vK367Kv Even worse, Susan Rosenburg sits on the Board of Directors of blm. Susan has taken part in communist organizations in America and was arrested in 1984 and sentenced to 58 years in prison on weapons and explosives charges. She was also sought as an accomplice to a couple of bombings. She is free now because her sentence was commuted by Bill clinton. The Black Lives Matter website itself says that one of its goals is to disrupt the nuclear family, one of the stated goals found within the Communist Manifesto. https://imgur.com/gallery/h2pW1J9 This alone shows just how little the group cares for black lives. One of the most devastating things to have hit black America in the latter half of the 20th century has been the destruction of the nuclear family.

Single motherhood makes children much more likely to live in poverty and commit crimes. Not attacking single mothers, but the trend is real. Over 70% of African-Americans are born to single mothers. This is the major problem facing the community. Black fathers have to begin caring for the women they impregnate and the children they bear, who once abandoned by their fathers, are forced into a life of poverty. A nuclear family with a father in the home makes a boatload of difference. Prior to the mid-1960s, nearly all children were born to married couples, including black children. This phenomenon was reversed once the progressive War on Poverty began. The welfare state incentivized single motherhood as it provided mothers with welfare benefits if there was no man in the house. https://www.heritage.org/welfare/report/how-welfare-undermines-marriage-and-what-do-about-it Additionally, the vast majority of African-Americans that are murdered in America are killed by other blacks. This is not to say that we should ignore police brutality, as that should be addressed as well. Police who commit murder against unarmed civilians should be punished and police reform should be enacted. However, the group is spreading the false narrative that police and racism are the most dangerous things facing black America. This is false. As mentioned previously, the vast majority of African-Americans who are killed are killed by other blacks, not whites. We have seen this trend worsen with blm’s calls to defund the police. Democrat-run cities that have surrendered to these proposals have seen skyrocketing crime rates, including black-on-black crime. https://imgur.com/gallery/nrpWWAu https://imgur.com/gallery/r7Wioos There was an 8-year old girl in Atlanta who was shot by an armed blm protestor. https://imgur.com/gallery/8hJhwJV . This is but one of many instances of the black-on-black violence that has plagued America. Despite this, blm has not changed its stance on policing. Thus, Davis Dorn, an African-American who was protecting his friend’s pawn shop, was killed by looters. Patrick Underwood, a black police officer, was killed in Oakland. https://abc7news.com/officers-shot-oakland-shooting-federal-building/6221576/ http://archive.is/hXiqZ https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-3.xls https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/race-and-homicide-in-america-by-the-numbers https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/6/8/21281998/chicago-deadliest-day-violence-murder-history-police-crime Compare that to the number of unarmed blacks killed by cops. Most blacks that are killed by the police are actually armed. https://imgur.com/gallery/gdN68hk http://archive.vn/JDNxE#selection-2511.0-2528.0 https://imgur.com/gallery/wAZyQrF

More evidence that blm’s main goal is not helping blacks, but overthrowing the US for a communist society is the fact that they have continuously defaced statues important to American history. They have even defaced statues of abolitionists and Union soldiers. One of the main goals found in the Communist Manifesto is the destruction of the nuclear family, religion, and national identity in order to make way for a communist society. This seems to be what blm is attempting. Why else would they deface the statue of anti-slavery poet Greenleef Whittier? https://imgur.com/gallery/LHUpOLa They also toppled the statue of a Norwegian immigrant and abolitionist who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. http://archive.is/ELeRu. They defaced a statue of Abraham Lincoln in London https://imgur.com/gallery/irSbE8j and The Colorado State Capitol Khachkar memorial to the Armenian Genocide http://archive.is/h5yOz. As we see, they are deliberately trying to destroy the memory of Western Civilization, just as the Communist Manifesto calls for. These aren’t isolated events. Rioters in Philly deface a statue of Matthias Baldwin, an early abolitionist who fought against slavery. https://imgur.com/gallery/dqq0zod. They vandalized the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in DC https://imgur.com/gallery/R5JQ8JL as well as the DC statue of Tadeusz Kościuszko, who fought for the rights of minorities. In his will, he donated a portion of his estate to free slaves belonging to Thomas Jefferson. He also bequeathed sums for the education of freed slaves. https://imgur.com/gallery/ynAeuXY . They also defaced the Memorial to Vietnam Veterans, many of whom were African-Americans.

Furthermore, the majority of interracial crimes in America are not committed by whites, but by blacks. The groups is spreading the narrative the African-Americans are overly policed. However, black men, who make up around 6.5% of the population, commit over 50% of the violent crimes. I recommend you watch videos by Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, and Brandon Tatum. I also recommend you search up Terry Crews’ videos and tweets. They are all African-Americans who give an alternative perspective to that given by blm activists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFqVNPwsLNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhy-NvXt0-U https://imgur.com/gallery/eXK6KeG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv5-mc4U_Zw&t=2s
