"A whopping 51 percent of the public tells pollsters they support “black lives matter.” Most of these people, I suspect, don’t even know that there is an official Black Lives Matter organization. And I’m sure hardly any of them could name Patrisse Cullors or Alicia Garza."

I have a feeling the same will be applicable in South Africa as well. From last week's highly emotional race revelations and the support for blm and then Rassie van der Dussen in his tweet referred to marxism and this let me want to know more.

So I started at the Institute for Race Relations @IRR_SouthAfrica and this video from them https://twitter.com/IRR_SouthAfrica/status/1285590560020090882?s=20

Then onto Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter

Now I am starting to ask the question does this organisation with an American business model and tax number belong in SA where black people is the majority?

The more I read, the marxism referral repeat itself more and more but why ... then this quote from Cullors

“We actually do have an ideological frame[work],” Cullors said of her organization. “We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.”

5.
There is a video you can watch...
"No doubt, the organization itself was quite radical from the very beginning. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors described herself and fellow co-founder Alicia Garza as “trained Marxists” in a recently resurfaced video from 2015."

Refer to Don Lemon, he believe BLM is about police brutality based on race in America. Police or security forces brutality in SA is just for the sake of brutality. Nothing to do with race. The same for corruption, it is just a different form of brutality.

Our constitution allows you to support an organisation like BLM. Just be sure you understand who and what they are and what they stand for. Don't get fooled like me. On their website top right of the page in bold blue & white the place where you donate.

I am sure I don't have to say this but I will not donate to the blm organisation and I will not support or kneel for the #BlackLivesMatter organisation. I don't kneel for organisations with tax numbers in foreign countries. Any support for blm in my TL will be unfollowed.
