    'How George Floyd's death exposed cracks in BLM

    'How George Floyd's death exposed cracks in BLM as the "Outrage over his killing galvanized the movement and raised $90m - but it also revealed the organization's ties to a convicted terrorist, the 'Marxist' founder's property empire and claims of 'fraud'

    Over the last 12 months, troubling truths about the organization have emerged including its ties to convicted domestic terrorist Susan Lisa Rosenberg, who was part of the May 19th Communist Organization that wanted to overthrow the government in the 1970s and 1980s

    Rudy Giuliani said "This is not a benign organization. I can?t say yet that we can prove it?s a terrorist organization. It's certainly a violent organization and I believe in the course of time it will be shown to be a terrorist organization,'

    Black Lives Matter is an organization run by three Marxists and financed by a convicted terrorist ? who I happened to have convicted, who got 58 years in jail and got a corrupt pardon from Bill Clinton.

    BLM was founded in 2013 by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. They describe themselves on the organization's website as 'radical Black organizers' who came together in outrage over the acquittal of the George Zimmerman, who shot dead Trayvon Martin in 2012.

    In other interviews, they describe themselves as 'trained Marxists'.

    Well the idea that the country needs to confront systemic racism in a more forthright way seems to have gone corporate, and mainstream, if the movement itself that brought it to the table is coming to a crossroads.

    That's actually pretty common in American politics, that movements at the periphery spring up, and if they're onto something, their cause gets mainstreamed and the movement itself sort of loses a reason for being.

        Actually, it IS about systemic racism -- the racism of BLM.

              BLM formed to fight what they called systemic racism.

              That cause is thriving even as BLM itself is at a crossroads.

              Better?

                actually



                Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people.
