While true, I think this conveniently shifts the point of the conversation away from the real issue...the issue of police brutality on black men. Regardless of political leanings, people from all backgrounds can take a stand against this. Do I support communism? Absolutely not. Do I support the message that the BLM movement is putting forth? yes. Just because the founders of the BLM movement are communist, that doesn't make me, nor the message, communist. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234783319349274920.post-81714996540321890742020-08-22T15:39:44.933-04:002020-08-22T15:39:44.933-04:00How long has it been since BLM was founded?

How many neighborhood cleanups have they done?<br />3. How much has been contributed to food banks?<br />4. How many black children have been sent to college?<br />5. Any money spent on school supplies for kids in any grade?<br />6. Any housing help for poor black families.<br />7. How much spent on charter busses to get members to "protest sites"?<br />8. Where, oh where has all the money gone?

The purpose of Marx and Engels in writing the Communist Manifesto was to further the cause of Communism. They believed in the violent overthrow of Capitalism by revolutionary means. Look at the 10 main points of the Manifesto. Are "trained Marxists" now just peace-loving bunnies? Demonstrating/protesting against something does not involve attacking police, looting, burning down buildings, attacking bystanders, etc. How many buildings did MLK and his followers burn down? Whether they say it or not...whether they know it or not...BLM is following the Communist Manifesto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
