anything funded by George Soros should be heavily scrutinized...

One of the creators are light-skinned.What about light skinned black people and biracial black people?
You not black huh? no way youre doing all this nit-picking due to the lack of the particular words being omitted that you can be.
Black people should be the main ones nitpicking groups that are supposed to represent us.
You don't get a pass just cuz you put black in the name and yell in the streets.
wouldn't/shouldn't the nitpicking of black people be to better/improve the organization, and not tear it apart?
Its the same issue I have with folks "criticizing" Killer Mike and others efforts to get folks (of all colors) to open accounts. Detractors seem to want to bring up the FDIC or the Federal Reserve being ran by whites. that's not the goal nor purpose of opening the accounts.
Well those things would apprear to be true in the case of BLM, as they're advocating for one specific purpose (all black lives), yet delineating that subgroup of the black community.
But in fairness, OP, they did mention other subgroups as well (the older members of the community, the youth, criminals, etc).
I can see why it would seem like they are trying to advance the LGBT struggle as well, since you identified that the founders are a part of that community as well, but I don't believe it's their true intention to have it piggybacked on blm to that degree.
But the fact that there is another agenda besides "black" lives makes it a trojan horse to me. What if I used the killings of black children/people to push my agenda that "black lives matter" and on my mission statement, I included that black business owners are also oppressed and marginalized and not included in the main discussion of black lives, so I used some of the blm steam and leverage to find my business?
Would we have a problem? Are black business owners not as human as a lgbt people?
You seem to have missed the part where I pointed out that the LGBTQ community wasn't the only subgroup that was identified. In fact, it's clear that the remainder of my response is directed to the homie Seeko after I wrote "But in fairness, OP".
Nope. Explain.Are you getting the picture yet?
So you admired the movement/organization until you found out that it's led by black women who also identify with the LGBT community and believe that the inclusion and value of all black lives must be a priority? You actually have a problem with that position?
Any proof on the Soros connection/funding? The movement seems way too fragmented IMO.
I dont get into this stuff. Just shared the info in case anyone was interested,
Nope. Explain.
That is what its about.I'm not sure what exactly your issue is or how exactly you came to that conclusion.
Seems like they're trying to be inclusive to all black people, but maybe I'm reading it wrong.
Your issue with their position and with their affirmation of all different kinds of black identities is exactly the reason they felt compelled to make their statement in the first place.
Thats taken out of context the whole quote actually says this"keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all"
That portion of the mission statement is what I have an issue with though. I understand the need to empower black men but not if it's aligned with embracing the same sexism that black women, as well as gay/trans hate, that they endure in society as a whole.
